Wow, not much between the ears there.

Good luck with your search and decision. I think a lot of your decision will rest on how much work you ultimately will ask the tractor to do. My farm only has so much area to develop into food plots (a max of 4-5 acres or less) so in my case I did not need a $25,000+ new tractor. I stumbled...

Great thread - I have a spot on my timber farm for a pond that has the wheels in my head turning. I need some clarity on a family-related contingency topic first before I go forward. It's always fun to dream future land developments - good luck and thanks for sharing the photos now and in the...

The buck I called Lefty was a bully. I had him under 60 yards at least 4 times in three different seasons and he managed to always stay just out of range. When he finally did get into range, I was so focused on getting an arrow off I rushed the shot and hit him poorly. Next to no penetration...

I have a single axle 12ft Aluma. I like it but did have to get some welding done on it last summer. I have hauled an ATV, swisher mower or flip disc but can't fit both pieces of equipment.... Wish I had a 14' Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Congrats again on the new dirt buddy - I think you are going to enjoy that slice of so Iowa !! Access sometimes dictates equipment choices (I know from personal experiences) and no doubt in my mind that small plot work can be done with the equipment listing you stated. If you integrate a...

Great content - not involving my 4 kids more in my outdoors passion is one of my biggest regrets. Various circumstances dictated their lack of involvement, including my selfishness at certain times in the past. They are all adults now and driven to pursue their own paths and passions in life...

FYI - sounds like the US 10yr notes hit an all-time low today - 1.31%. the US 10 yr note moves many loan/mortgage rates so now is probably a great time to lock in finance costs.

Boyd is spot on - deer populations are not anywhere close on a statewide basis to 10 yrs ago...I hunt two different regions of the state on a regular basis and neither region is close to 2007-2009 levels. The recent EHD region where my farm is located took a very hard hit this fall. My...

Just got a rate reduction from FCS. 15 yr loan at 4.46% gross, net of 3.46% after the current FCS rate rebate of 1%. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

some BIG public tracts in Lucas (multiple Whitebreast units, upper Rathbun, etc) would equate to a lot less EHD kill reporting in Lucas county. Warren is much more geared to private land ownership overall for the county.

IDNR deer harvest data - 2019 vs 2018 Warren - decrease of 31% - 2019 - 1,957 - 2018 - 2,836 Lucas - decrease of 29% - 2019 - 1,636 - 2018 - 2,294 Clarke - decrease of 34% - 2019 - 1,305 - 2018 - 1,966 Madison - decrease of 12% - 2019 - 2,508 - 2018 - 2,843 If a person thinks annual...

I do not have much honeysuckle on my farm but am starting to notice it some in a few areas. What is the options for removal. Hack and spray larger ones and dig out if small enough. I saw a you tube video about removing BHS using a Mattock and it looked pretty slick if done in the spring when...

A bowkill can be exhilarating in a variety of ways - does, coyotes, and yes, bucks that make the pulse jump. Some years I can pass bucks that score 150ish if I think they have upside in the future, other years I am ready to punch a tag on a buck that makes me pick the bow off the hanger - but...

Taken today at 1640 heading to food after a group of three does passed by 5 minutes earlier. Most likely a nice 3.5 yo 8-9 pt. Slightly quartering to shot at just under 30 yrds. I hadn't tagged a buck since 2016 and it felt good to put a solid shot on a buck again after a bad shot on one...

I had my first morning hunt today and had a mature 8 cruise through my location in search of does. He responded to both grunts and a rattle bag. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

That's a super buck!! Love the mass and brows on that dude.
