Just got a call from my brother that one of our clover plots (the best spot on the farm and the best growing clover plot on the farm) was sprayed by the geniuses who were supposed to be spraying the corn. It's obviously completely dead and brown. Done for. We gave our farmer maps of all of our...

Voted, good luck!

Thanks for all of the responses. We'll look into all of the suggestions. It's not like it's a life-or-death situation to where we need to get rid of it, but it would be nice to find an effective way to get it out of there. It's annoying especially when trying to hang stands and shed hunt. I...

I don't have any experience with burning in timbers, so I guess I'm not really sure if it would be possible or not. It's a decent chunk of timber thats invaded with it, probably right around 30 acres. It's actually one of Skip's old farms (Sligh1) and he has done a lot of good hinge cutting in...

I was hoping a few of you might have some advice on how to deal with multiflora rose. We have one section of our farm where the multiflora rose is extremely thick in the timber. We want to eradicate it as quickly and effectively as possible. I've read that there are certain herbicides that can...

No way we would have the time to pull all of them and then re-hang them in late summer. This time of year is already too busy with shed hunting, scouting, food plots, turkey season prep, etc. It would be awesome to have the time to hang stands and check them this time of year, but it's not...

Unfortunately, you can't fix stupid. Most all of us landowners in Iowa have dealt with this at one time or another. We actually had the same argument from a group of about 15 a couple years ago.. We have 20+ "No hunting or trespassing" signs posted on this particular farm, yet we still caught...

Old deer for sure. Once they get to 5.5+ it's kind of a crapshoot if you have no previous history with them, but I bet this deer is pushing 7.5 or older. As they said above he's probably already past his prime.

That's awesome! We mounted one of our Redneck blinds to an old water wagon, but from the sounds of it this is quite a bit cheaper. We'll have to give this a shot. Great work

Redneck Blinds We have six Redneck blinds that we hunt out of mainly during late muzzy, but a few times throughout bow season as well. As far as the comfortability I love them. They are awesome to hunt out of on cold, windy days. If the sun is out at all it will warm up the inside like crazy...

Deer Drives Pretty much nailed it Skip. Couldn't have said it better myself. I'll also add that the trespassing rate on some of our farms during the two gun seasons is simply ridiculous. Not saying everyone does it, but it only really happens during the gun seasons. The people who trespass...

Last Week of Nov Agreed. I hunt in SW Iowa and the last week of November has always produced some of the best rut-movement of the year. The bucks are always more aggressive with their cruising during that week and they seem to respond better to calling. I rattle very seldom, but during that...

I had the old version (they came out with a new version this season) of the Therma Cell heated insoles. IMO they were terrible and a complete waste of over $100. The battery life was next to nothing and I really didn't feel any heat radiating from them. I would never buy them again. Some people...
