    Age Question

    What age would you give these bucks? I have no history with them. The smaller racked buck seems to have a bigger body. The smaller racked also has some white/gray in his face, is that really even an age indicator on a deer? I'd guess maybe both 3. Maybe 4? Thoughts. Buck # 1: Buck #2...

    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    I dont think cell cams are as big of an issue as people say, IMO. Yes, there are deer that get killed because of the cam, but not thousands and thousands of them. IMO the biggest culprit why it has dropped off is the prevalence EHD. In the past 15 years we can't go even 3-4 years without a big...

    The start of the rut is upon us.

    Yep, after a week of hardly any pictures, my cams lit up yesterday. Deer were on their feet.

    Buying land in your 20s

    Unless you got family money or a great paying job you are going to need to cutout the every day expenses that 'everyone' has. You got to be weeeiiirrrddd. TV subscriptions, new cars/toys, expensive vacations, eating out. etc. Pick up some side gigs. Drop your costs and you can save up money...

    Spot Spraying Question

    Tube. This is a plan my district forester drew up, so have to follow all the steps to qualify for the cost share. I'd tube them anyways or else any seedling likely would just get browsed. I did a 100 tree planting on my own last spring and still bought tubes and tubed them.

    Spot Spraying Question

    Got it done yesterday. 250 spot sprays. This is a tree planting in a couple different spots along a low laying creek area that has a lot of dead ash etc. So trying to reestablish some trees/canopy. Just under 5 acres total for this year. Next year is about another 5 acres. So its just sort of...

    Spot Spraying Question

    Good idea. Ratios etc really fog my brain, just over thinking it.

    Spot Spraying Question

    This weekend I plan to do phase one of a tree planting for next spring. Step 1 I have about 250 spots I need to spot spay where I will plant a bare root seedling next spring. Each spot spray location is supposed to be about a 3ft radius. The plan says I need 1.5%-2% glyphosate mixture. I'm...

    High fence opinion in specific example???….

    Where I've seen the double sided along the interstates it seems to work pretty well. Im okay with that.

    Silver and gold - physical, or mining stocks?

    I wouldn't put a ton of faith in it, but thats just me and far from knowledgeable on it. I think for long term growth you are still going to be further ahead buying VTI, VOO, FSKAX etc (U.S. total stock market funds). To be safe, I would not buy individual stocks, thats putting all your eggs in...

    Things that make me go Hmmmmm....Land Prices

    Agreed, seeing tons of "price reduced". Still seeing some that are listed way to high, they arent giong to sell.

    Who’s hiring Superintendents in Des Moines?

    This whole thing is crazy. Seems like a total conman. This guys a total liar and thief. He took away the opportunity from a very deserving person. I will say its been entertaining to follow and read about it and peoples comments on facebook. My biggest question is how did this even happen. Who...

    Got to get this out There

    Talk with your troop leader/other parents in the troop. Surely you are not the only one feeling that. If you have a strong troop, remain, and maybe incorporate/solidify your values in some way. Its sad to see the Boy Scouts organization change to Scouts and hear the camp has staff like that...

    Tree Planting

    Nice, how old are you plums and when did they start producing fruit? Do the deer/turkey feed on them? I planted 25 wild plum bareroot seedlings this spring. Most are already to the top of the 4ft tube i tubed them in.

    Clover

    Follow up on my first attempt from this spring. Super happy with how my first ever attempt at a foodplot ever has turned out. This was broadcasted on 5/18. I was worried I was late in the spring to plant, Im sure frequent rains since have helped me. Turned out way better than I could have...

    Switchgrass

    Went to check my first year switchgrass screenings. Not looking to great. I can see for sure some switch coming up, but its pretty sparse. Seems like most did not germinate. Im wondering if maybe I had to much thatch when i broadcasted seed and I didnt get good seed to soil contact. Some spots...

    Brassicas

    Think I will get down there this weekend to spray. Come back in a couple weeks to burn it and broadcast, maybe spry gly again on any new weeds or grass that have sprouted up. Hopefully all these rains keep coming as I'll be planting it a little big later than ideal timing, more towards back half...

    Brassicas

    I'd like to try my hand at broadcasting some brassicas. I have a quarter acre spot in mind for a first go round. I have gly and 24d to kill off the grass/weeds in the spot. My question is about getting it sprayed around rains. Say it is dry one day, but supposed to rain the next. Is that a bad...
