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...

copper is a key part of mineral system as it is integral in support of immune system

Skip, your robo deer idea is a good one. Once you get some successful prosecution done, word will get out to local poachers. I had a problem at the farm with road poachers. I worked with game and parks and they set up a robo deer. Caught one, could of probably had more but a very noisy...

never when I have girdled and treated only the girdle

I have girdled giant ones and sprayed tordon in the girdle. They all died. In the past 13 years they have sloughed off the main branches and such and are not much more than a large, tall, standing dead stump.

In a thread earlier this year on maverick blinds, I posted something about liking the blinds but not the windows. I mentioned I made windows that I thought made it flirt with scent free. A couple people asked me about them and I said I would get back to them/thread when I got back out to one...

I agree that most of the impact is via ag but for those people that grow corn and soybean plots for wildlife, we contribute as well. Also a large food plot business utilizes insecticides in their seed coating for some of their seeds. Here is a pic of the tag on a bag I got from Pheasants...

What a few of us have been thinking and talking about but didn't have the science backing.

The next time I'm able to go to one of the blinds, I'll take some pics from inside. Season is still going on. Probably be in Jan or Feb. Here's a pic from the outside.

I have a few of the maverick blinds. The maverick windows are horrible in my opinion but I remedied that by cutting out openings and framing them and putting in vertical sliders. They range in size from the outside edges of two of those precut windows to the outside edge of 4 of them by as tall...

In NE we have a weed control board in each county.. If you have an entity like that you could call them with an anonymous report if your worried about the can't see it from your property issue. Someone did that to me with my miscanthus gigantus that I used for a screen along a road and said it...

That was very nice of you and I'm sure the new hunters really appreciate it (they better). What you describe in your whole story is unheard of in this day and age. I don't know anybody that can get on private land without having an in/in depth connection of some sort. Thanks for helping out...
