I struggle a bit with operators who lean on that excuse. This is just my thought process around that line of thinking: We just enrolled 20% of our farm in 2025 above the rental rate. I understand it is a variable amount based on county rental rates, environmental risk etc. All operators accept...

Food plots and habitat work.

This is a very telling stat. Sad actually...

Cell cams - I have 10 Inline ML. I would say rifle hunting but I don't do it...

All this seems relevant. I still think cell cams allow us the real time data to come to these conclusions. I wonder if the breeding dates have always shifted every so often but we never had the data available for us to analyze? Not sure the "expert" university or government studies are ever...

Hope your gun seasons are going well. I share the same thoughts as the years click off. Our little one is now 17 and we are dreading the move to college in just under 2 years. Enjoy the little ones and the magic they bring to fall and the holidays...it goes by so fast. Time is a thief...

Interesting twist to this story. Called today and they said funds we released to us Dec 12. Checked bank and nothing. We put everything in a trust in 2022 but our bank accounts, even though under the trust, have our names and not the trust. Because of this, it got kicked back and we will be...

Like most of us, I love fall. So here are some pics from the tree and the porch....The views from the stand were so-so this year with the foliage hanging on...

I just do an old self mix recipe I was told about years ago. (60% all stock (12-14%), 30% whole corn, 10% oats) I do add in a mixed rumen mineral and I add an apple attractant to get it started. Fed from a Boss Buck gravity feeder. Certainly not an expert just doing research and fixing mistakes...

Where do you guys get your roasted soybeans?

Any guys do their own? Keep in mind I have not done any of the feed calculations but took some knowledge from friends and added it all up. In the past I used: 60% all stock (12-14%), 30% whole corn, 10% oats. On some advice, changed this year to: 60% all stock (12% on sale), 30% whole corn, 5%...

Dec 11 and still nothing. Absolute dysfunction. So good story, good friend who farms lit them up last Friday about his CRP and his loan for a new grain bin he had to have by this Wednesday to maintain his cash discount on the bin. They released all of his stuff Tuesday. The way he went about it...

I have been trying to get more in. We bought it in 2016 so it wasn't reported until 2017 crop year. Since we have not had a new farm bill since 2018, we can't do anything. What complete dysfunction our government continues to be.

Man I totally agree. I am amazed at how many "personalities" can take modern gear and consistently make bad shots. There are some guys that have made bad shots for years. I just don't get it. I don't know if it is their shot angles because they sit so high or they just push bad angles walking...

Sorry, yes CRP rental payments. Fixed it...

Government agency inefficiencies never disappoint. Just called and they told me that CRP rental payments have "pretty much" been approved so we should see payments in 1-2 weeks. Anyone else hearing the same?

Having my old hunting buddy come hunt with me this season has made my fall great. We have had fun this year. A little back story, he was diagnosed with thyroid cancer 10 years ago and he beat that, not uncommon but still cancer. His bowhunting started slowing down a bit with that, his kids...

Did not get a chance to check in much but I saw what most guys were posting, which was good movement from the 10th to the 12th. Never had bucks so receptive to rattling, it was crazy last week. They went nocturnal in our area when it heated up Thursday. Rattled in the #1 on the farm 2x last week...
