Minnesota

I’ve found that the FSA & NRCS make statements that are not always accurate . I call my buddy in Minnesota (he’s a top habitat guy PF/CRP guru) & he will give me the actual legal rule on various questions. I’m 90% sure you can still lease your land if it has CRP !

Brutal storm up here in Minnesota, hopefully most of the pheasants can survive it !

Pheasant action in Minnesota, yesterday.

This is in Iowa today … dang things !!:mad:

Deer drives will take a few deer. However, how many bucks do these guys push off their farms for good ! I’ve seen it more than once where a group pushes their timber and draws and they bump a giant out (untouched) & the hunters never even saw him . Then the same group sits on stand that evening...

We did 500 one year, all plugs with a plug tool :confused:. You must have been exhausted. That’s a lot of trees !

How was the growth ? That’s a lot of trees !

Has anyone ordered trees for next spring …?post em up ! I have roughly 20 Black Hills Spruce, 20 Cedar … a mix of oak & walnut for Missouri , a few shrubs . (5) apple tree including Chestnut Crab, Hawkeye, Big Dog , Centennial & couple others .

Try less ? 12-20k acre sounds high, but I’m not that familiar with that area?

I’ve seen more rutting and better action around Halloween to Nov 5 However, my son had great action in MN on Nov 8 ? If it’s cold they seem to move !

Ok I wasn’t aware of any season like that in my county ? I mean I hope not?

So what exactly are they “not” going to do ?

Winkes farm sure has potential. What a beautiful area ! How many acres is it ? Anyone know ?

Ha ha … You might have to mix your venison stew with Dinty Moore to save money !:)

If you plant a few Red Oaks they will never know the difference in 10 years … I’m not trying to get you in trouble . I’ve added a few hybrids to my CRP plans, they look like oaks in 5-10 years . They will probably visit the site one more time my guess ?m Otherwise just ask him if you can add...

Bottomland Bur Oak looks like a good option, I ordered 25 of them this year.

Bur Oak, Swamp White Oak, I also like Red Oak!

Southern Iowa, Northern Missouri have a advantage for deer hunters in that cover left untouched becomes a jungle in X amount of years. In Minnesota for example … you have to plant something, a lot of old pasture in your regions blows up with hedge, cedar, shingle oaks and more… all great cover...

How about the snow in some areas ? Deep enough to slow down deer drives ? In Minnesota I went pheasant hunting and I could barely get through the cattails . Snow was waist deep in spots . Not a good start to the winter for wildlife !!:confused:
