New to trapping and looking to take out some coons to help with the turkey population. Any recommendations on what the best coon trapping starter kit would be? I assume having cables included would be smart? Also, any advice on what bait works best would be appreciated. Thanks!

Great comments, thank you! Yes, definitely thinking of involving a forester and exploring cost share options. I would be taking cattle out permanently as I would like to plant some NWSG on a few of the acres and let the area thicken up some. I love the idea of planting a large diverse mix of...

The timber on my farm (80 acre patch) has long been used for cattle and primarily consists of osage orange trees. I'll be taking the cattle out next year and wanted to understand what would be the best group of tree species to plant to provide the best whitetail habitat? I'm planning on clear...

Thanks, Sligh....very helpful

Yeah, here are the available mixes:

In Missouri. Highly Erodible Land Initiative (HELI) Continuous enrollment program.

Is anyone familiar with what is usually included as part of the 'forbes' in the CRP mixes?

My father is enrolling his highly erodible ground into a CRP program and we have to know what specific mix we're going to use by end of this week. To help with deer habitat i'm recommending a warm season mix of Big Blue, Switch, Virginia Wild Rye, and Forbes. All other warm season mixes have...

I saw the other day that Theisen's sells free form food plot seed. It's stored on large containers and you just pay for pure seed by the weight. Has anyone used this with success (of failure)? Figured this could be a less expensive option compared to buying name brand seed. Looking at planting...

I'm going out West this year for an Elk trip and curious what others have used for broadheads? I'm usually a mechanical guy for whitetail but leaning towards using a fixed blade for Elk. My main concern is finding one that flies like a field point.

I live quite a ways away from the home farm but I will try to get some pics. As far as the soil type, I'm not much of an agronomist but it's pretty decent northern MO black soils with not much clay. Mid 6's I believe when i took a soil test a few years back. Old hay ground on top of a hill. Some...

Correction: this is year 4 since planting. I burned it in Spring of 2019. Indian Grass, big bluestem, and switchgrass (bedding in a bag from real world). Not sure on exactly what type of natives it is that is growing up, but just a few broad leaves, some ragweed, and i think some foxtail. I...

I'm coming into my 3rd year of a warm season grass planting and it's pretty sparse. Wondering if I should now it (farmer will hay it for me) or wait and burn again next spring?

Looks great! I'm coming into my 3rd year of a warm season grass planting and it's pretty sparse. Wondering if I should now it (farmer will hay it for me) or wait and burn again next spring?
