What do I have here. Wasn’t sure if the one w red berries is a different species than the one w the golden berries or not.

I’m an equipment dealer here in west mi and about 7 or 8 months ago we added skid steers/track loaders to our offering. Been going well and starting to get more and more clients and potential clients asking about mulching heads for them so I want to become a dealer for a good line. Just starting...

So I discovered I had way more of this nasty thing than I originally thought. Spent a few hours last night spraying different areas of it only to discover this morning a whole bunch of other spots throughout my crp/switch. My problem or I guess my question is though, I’m talking over a 20-30...

It’s west central IL, don’t recall seeing it or having it before. Is it prevalent in Iowa and or IL? I spent a lot of time tonight on my quad w my sprayer just driving though this stuff hitting it w gly….should I get a solid kill you think? Some areas it was an isolated bush here or there and...

Is this lespedeza? Hardly noticed it last year in my crp/switch now I’m seeing large pockets of it. Nasty thick stuff. I just sprayed the heck out of it w roundup but not sure what I’m doing.

I have a chemical allergy n the barn called volunteer Looks like it’s 26% cleth This ok to use on clover plots right now for grassy weeds?

Amen. As real and genuine as they get. What a legacy he leaves behind. RIP

I think a healthy ratio is still important but when numbers were way higher in the 2000’s the ratio was still very good too in most places. Certainly doesn’t have to be one or the other. But agreed 1:1 doesn’t seem like it needs to be the goal by any means

Someone linked a Facebook post by Tim wells in this thread….ive said for many years that it’s going to take those with the biggest platforms to get this message out to the masses and change public perception. Lakoskys, Drurys, Bowmars and the like can have significant influence on what hunters...

LOVE this post Skip and anyone can search my history of posts to confirm this but I’ve been beating this drum (w few if any supporters) as loud as I can for 10 years. This is not a new issue, been this way since the bad ehd outbreak in 2012 but for whatever reason it has taken 12 years for the...

Will say that last July Trump claimed hed have the war stopped in 1 day if elected. Wonder if that lady (can’t recall her name) that was doing that interview that is clearly a left leaning journalist has thrown that in his face yet. Regardless, I love 90% of what he’s doing/done so far.

Just recently had my farm flown and do seem to recall a recent bed leaving enough of a heat signature to appear but the drone operator just switches to the camera to see that it’s not an actual deer so no reason it should be inaccurate if done properly

Exactly right

Totally with ya….i just want to go psycho on idiots that are intentionally trespassing, shed poaching, or breaking game laws. Nothing worse. Found a fresh arrow w a broad head laying/sticking in the ground near one of my stands like they were hunting out of my stand and missed a deer. Would give...

Great list. As much enjoyment as I get out of my cell cams I’d have no issue at all voting to completely eliminate them.

I guess my original post has turned in to more of a for/against or pros/cons of recovering deer w them and just want to note that deer recovery had NOTHING to do with my post. Which is fine. Just want to clarify for everyone…… -Intention or thought process was NOT to use drones for recovery...

I agree with you. That’s why I’m envisioning this being something at more of a DNR level. This is a management tool for state agencies or maybe conservation groups NOT something the hunting public should be doing. It has to be done on a large enough scale to provide accurate trends. Me and you...

So it probably is never an exact science but an educated drone operator can tell you out of the 20 bucks that n your farm how many were in the 150-170 range and how many were 170 plus. They can zoom right in on them and tell you if the buck has a drop tine or has shed for example. I’m simply...

Agreed about the wrong hands part for sure and the stiff penalties if caught. Thats why I’m kinda thinking this would be a dnr led deal or better yet a conservation group led by folks like Skip that could provide this data up the food chain and take some of the management or at least data...

Yea I kinda thought the same thing. Would need to be a very general report from the dnr…..a few different charts showing buck:doe ratios, total deer #’s, and then the quality breakdown. Nobody would really know other than maybe by county name where these controlled surveys would be done. I...
