Did some TSI work this weekend on a bedding ridge and really made a mess! There was already a fair amount of deadfalls laying around from some fallen ash and elm trees. I cut a TON of ironwood trees and it is now a tangled mess that I am afraid deer will feel trapped and not use. How do you...

What are y’all’s current opinion of rec ground prices and forecast? I have a lead on a really nice piece of ground that may be coming up for sale and I am on the fence. The price will be on the upper end of the going rate and it won’t be any undervalued. I don’t mind paying max rate if prices...

Which one did you buy (8 or 12) and do you mind sharing the cost? Was it 50# bag?

Getting ready to buy mineral to put out. Last year I used Purina wind and rain and like others in this thread say, it was “so-so”. Have you guys found a good mix that would be available at coops that has been successful?

I have never owned Reconyx and probably never will due to cost. But I have not found any difference in longevity between $30 cameras and $150 cameras. They all last about 3 years and start failing for me.

I have a mixed bag of older non-cullular "cheap" trail cameras that are quickly failing. Looking to buy a bunch of cheap cameras to cover a lot of area without cell cam bills. What do you all recommend for best bang for buck in cheap non-cullular trail cameras based on longevity, battery life...

I have an Ororo heated vest that seems to work well. I bought directly from their website but Scheels sells them as well. I learned that you need to buy a little snug so that the heat is in close contact with your body. I am a big fan or first lite sanctuary set for outer layer. Super warm...

Thanks again all for the suggestions! Going to do some corn next year to see if it helps. Cannot do alfalfa on this farm because I cannot bale it (dies off if cut but not baked doesn’t it?). Guessing there is truth to leaving for large timber acorns, I have plenty of oaks but not as many as...

Hard to know how many deer are living/using farm but I use trail cam pics, observations, and sign as indicators. It is extremely rare that I see any deer while visiting or working at the property, in part because the cover is very dense but largely because I stay out of areas deer bed other...

I would say the population is far below what it could/should be. I would say the 5 square mile area is nearly a 50/50 split between wooded and tillable farmland. My personal opinion is that the population holding capacity in the area could be 2-3 times what it is. I think my farm should hold...

105ac and yes good water. Spring fed creek that run clear water even in severe drought years. Larger creek cut across corner of it that always has water. I have dug two watering holes as well, they are only 1.5 years old but have always had water since they first filled. One of the water...

Planter is 30” rows. Have not been back to the farm to get model number but certain it is a no till. My father checked all that last year as he no tilled into about 45 acres of old pasture to start getting some crop history for future crp.

Thanks for the feedback/comments so far! Food is very close to bedding. Access to farm is very good in my opinion to where I can enter/exit pretty much undetected. I am planning to switch some food over to the Doubletree rotation this coming year and hope that will help year round attraction...

Never have seen, heard, or cam pics of dogs. Coyotes, I would say are average to slightly above average population. I enjoy calling/shooting them but nearly impossible now that the farm is all in tall/thick native grasses - cannot see much.

My farm in SE Iowa seems to hold a few deer during the summer. A few more deer during late summer/early fall. Very few deer during archery season, almost to the point that there is no reason to even hunt it. Starting shotgun season the deer start piling in and have fairly high density...

Where are you guys seeing the native grass add on box for the Genesis drills? I don't see anything on either the Genesis or PH outdoors site for the native boxes. I am intrigued by this depending on the cost.

Scary to listen to this and what is the answer? Obviously best answer is to stop using these types of treatments but that is so far out of our control. I plant these food plot seeds every single year, do I stop? The same deer are eating the neighbors crops a lot more than my small food plots...

Last year I ordered very large quantity of trees from Missouri, large quantity from Iowa, and about 200 from yellow river. Yellow river definitely the best, largest, and biggest root system but they are about 4x the cost. Iowa and Missouri trees were similar size and quality I would say. And...

This old 6pt has been a mature buck on my farm for three years now. He should be 7-8 years old. Always been a 6pt but his antlers have gotten smaller each year.

Good Morning. Did you already sell your Genesis 3 drill? Have a buddy that is looking for one. If you still have it can I get a phone number and a location? Thanks
