You can use them during late muzzy. Only benefit over a muzzy is sound and recoil.

There used to be a farmer here that used to alternate passes corn and beans. Did it quite a few years. He claimed the beans provided nitrogen to the corn to make it better. He doesn't do it anymore so it must not have been great but it is possible. The guy was super smart. Worked with John deere...

I think I'm going to get a feeder and put it out after late muzzy. Plan on mixing corn out of the bin with protein pellets. I'll see how it goes. Not sure if it's needed with all of the grain left in our food plots and low deer numbers, but I'll see how it goes.

Not sure if that would be the same as spray grade ams, but I know they would have that. They even carry spray grade ams at theisens, but I suspect it might be finer particles so it dilutes easily in water.

Haha that's pretty funny. There was an escaped bull that got shot a few miles from here this fall.

Between ehd and the lack of big blocks of cover where I am, most bucks don't make 5 years old. If I only pursued bucks 5 and older. I might only have a buck to hunt once every 3 or 4 years. For me personally at 4 years old it is game on for me.

I would suggest the heated socks also. Otherwise maybe those arctic shield booties that go on over your boots when you get to the blind would help as well

Dad and I sat Saturday and Sunday. Saw does and a couple little guys, but numbers were way down here. I know there are at least a couple good ones that ehd didn't get. Going to need colder weather to bring them in to our food plots. Hopefully catch up with them late muzzleloader.

It seems guys that go corn first year after crp have to use a mold board plow and I hate having to use one. Makes everything so soft and prone to erosion. Much easier to do beans year one

I had one skunk this summer. Have you figured out how to dispatch them without spraying? Mine sprayed a little but not awful.

I was after the coons pretty good this summer. Declared war when we saw a few very large patches of corn destroyed. Think the count was around 150 when we quit right before harvest.

I ordered some earlier this fall from ww native seeds in Epworth. Don't know if they would still have any.

Found 2 dead bucks doing fieldwork today. Never had anything this bad before. Just when we were getting the local population built up some. Really sucks.

This nice 8 had a doe locked down on a brushy crick today.

Just watched a buck run a doe up and down a fence line for 10 minutes before she jumped the fence and they both disappeared. Too far away to tell if it was a young or mature buck. Didnt remember to put binos in the tractor this morning.

Surprised in a good way or a bad way?

I hadn't seen a mature buck all fall while farming. Saw one yesterday afternoon and another one this morning. Also pulled a dead doe out of our pond this morning. Been dead a while.

We had one like that last year that came out of the corn we were combining. Was small enough it sprawled out in the stalks to hide instead of running for cover. This was a long ways from any timber. I assumed the doe got bred really late because she lived so far from other deer.

I'm in east central. South of waterloo. West of cedar rapids. We farm on both sides of a bike trail that is really good cover and refuge for the birds.

I said the same thing last year, and it's true again this year. Seeing a lot more birds while combining corn than years past. Even saw quite a few doing beans which don't see them often. Also saw birds on farms where we never used to.
