Looks great. I would plant screening along the outside edges of the new food plot, opposite of the timber, regardless if you're going to set stands there. Deer will be that much more comfortable to going out into it. Miscanthus gigantus will create a permanent, screen or there are other yearly...

It's Christmas, not April Fool's

I know this is a thread on IA but I'll just offer this info to broaden the issue. NE has their rifle season in mid November, prime time to kill deer, if that is the goal. NE's deer kill was down 18% from last year and 29% down from the 5 year average that ended last year. There is something...

The IBC tanks that I have been around have very thin walls compared to the Hoover ones. They are at least 3/8". The guy explained that he used these type of totes because he didn't want the totes to be cracked by inadvertent hits by a skid loader. These things can take a big hit and not crack. I...

If a person is wanting some lesser expensive tanks, there is a guy selling 330 gallon Hoover tanks that held chlorine for 30.00 on FB out of Omaha, NE. He's already washed them out but I will be cleaning them again for my own peace of mind. I'll use baking soda and vinegar. They don't smell at...

Like Marty, I have tanks all over my farm even though I have two dams that hold water. Mine are all dug into drainage routes and fill up easily when we get an inch of rain. However last year and this year mother nature kept them dry for the most part. The ones I can drive to, I've been filling...

Wild animals have an incredible will to survive or don't know any better and just keep plugging.

Sorry this is so long but I feel it may help someone I have been running cuddelinks since 2017. They have missed a lot of pics. They have the latest firmware updates and I have replaced the lenses. I run all my cameras facing a northerly direction. I have mounted a browning black ops and a...

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...

What 10hunter2 said.

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.
