Last year was my first year snaring. I was after coyotes specifically. A well seasoned trapper gave me the advice I used. He said after a good snow storm, the next day or two, walk the property one is going to trap and locate spots that the coyotes walked that one can set a snare 12" off the...

Every thing I have done on my farms is to promote doe/fawn numbers besides screening. Some of the things done arguably are for both but my focus is to take care of the ladies and the fellas will be coming through. Late Sept into late Oct I always have an influx of new bucks, with them sticking...

I would only get a muddy cam if it was free and I wanted to use them as a decoy camera to deter theft. They are the absolute worst camera I have ever tried. I too bought them at menards. Wasted money. Run away!!!!!!! 5 years is delusional thinking for that cam. I have gotten 5 years out of...

its a mature doe:D:cool:

Congratulations to Ryder and yourself! Looks like a great shot and great memories were made and some fine educational opportunities.

I couldn't agree more with you Sligh1. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Your kids will be able to deal with all facets of life with the foundation you are helping them build.

I really like Haley and Scott but I don't think they will get the nod. If it's trump, there are to many that hate him and will not vote for him. They'll vote for who ever is running in place of Biden because Biden won't be on the ballot in '24. He may still be alive but his cognitive abilities...

Do you mean for small seeds or for corn, beans, and sorghum? If corn, beans, and sorghum, I have great success with an old john deere 71 planter, stock, no add ons. I use as much down pressure as I can apply, usually getting seeds in 2" for corn and beans and an inch for sorghum. I have...

coyotes wouldnt miss the ones ive come across, they just ended up drying down eaten by maggots or nothing

This has been my experience as well.

If you haven't seen it enough above, cereal rye is your friend.

Great topic and questions. I too, have this issue and have small farms that I own. There is no way I "keep" deer on my farms but they have been manipulated to be the best habitat in the areas. I worry about pressure trying to kill the culls on the farms while educating the ones I would like to...

My experience with almost continuous beans. I have planted beans in the same plots since 2016, Every year has been a great year for beans, I broadcast rye over them when the start to yellow. In April, I terminate the rye and anything else growing in rye with gly and 24d along with pre...

Good point, I forgot to add that spraying glyphosate after the first or second hard frost is an integral part of this equation. It stone cold kills the brome competition. The nrcs gives permission for this on the crp acres. They in fact encourage it when I've baled.

Its good to bale crp if it has been taken over by brome. It allows a good kill of cool season grasses and the next year the crp comes back with more warm season grasses and lots of forbs.

If one is overseeding brassicas into soybeans and one used pre emergent (prowlh2o), how soon can one plant after that? I don't see brassicas listed on label and on the label it says if not listed 12 months or more. Anybody have experience with planting brassicas 3 months after using prowl h2o?

That is a perfect setup then. Nice pic and beautiful view from the house.

That is some dead clover, impressed. How do you get into and out of that stand without blowing that stand area out for the season?

Did this same thing to a bean plot in the heaviest drought area in northeast NE. Beans were planted first week of May, Did a burndown and pre emergent app two weeks prior. Then was finally able to get back to farm last week in June. Beans were 8" tall and waterhemp, marestail, velvetl;eaf, and...
