Just last night, I had to text a neighbor to come through honking like mad driving along our field, cleared things quick..

Interesting point.. hadn't thought of that. The only time I've used a decoy, I ended up shooting a buck over it. Worked incredibly well. But my sample size is only 1 :)

Great work man.

Nonfactor IMO. Signal is not close enough to cause an issue up in a tree. Interesting hypothesis for the ground hunter however..

Had a quick popup shower after I planted, and everything is up! Glad I didn't wait for the "perfect" forecast! This is why I plant by date every year in the fall. .

Yes, he mostly uses Reconyx cellular. He's mentioned this before. It's something to do with the cellular signal itself. I've never had any issues with my Reconyx cameras spooking mature bucks after I changed the flash setting to medium. I know Don has 50+ Reconyx cameras and typically...

Little to none. If they grow too quickly they get leggy and lose their palatability. I only fertilize if I have heavy browse pressure or I’m late planting. Good luck!

That could be flash, and not necessarily cell signal. I’ve had similar results with non cellular cameras. That being said, once I switched to better cameras (Reconyx) and reduced the flash output to medium, I’ve never had an issue again. Same with no glow cameras, tend not to have issues.

Looks great. You know I bet weed control is much easier later in the season too!

Wow, hadn't thought of that. Great question. @deep woods goat hunter I'm sure there are major strings attached if they do!!

- They say a small potted plant will die if kept next to a cell phone, due to electromagnetic radiation. - Entire animal kingdoms evacuate areas days before a tsunami hits the coast. Or know when an earthquake is coming? They are definitely more in touch with their environments than we give...

Agree. I had a neighbor that had a CWD positive (a few farms over), and were contacted by MDC. The additional "killing" was optional for the neighbor. I spoke with him directly. MDC only gets forceful when they get "hot zones", or where several deer in that specific neighborhood test...

The main question I'd like to see Jason address is.. IMO, it appears MDC is using CWD as a trojan horse to keep deer numbers down. I believe the special interest groups are encouraging and pushing the CWD fear mongering agenda as a way to reduce our populations. Have a positive in your area...

FWIW, I asked a few follow up questions to Joe's original email, namely if the survey results had changed over time of moving the rifle season outside the rut. There has been some improvement, but it does still appear we are in the vast minority (15% historically to now 20%). This does...

I think you're misinterpreting my response to the earlier question. The question was asked "given the time of year". My response was based on the time of year, (going on Labor Day) for planting date for the specific mix list of seed he mentioned. It wasn't based on "blindly throwing out...

I just had a pop up rain after planting Friday with no rain in the forecast.. I plant by calendar. I've never had any issues with that in 15+ years of farming and food plotting.

Not everyone is able to jump and head to their farm 2 hours before a rain. Not knowing exactly where in Iowa the poster is from, calendar wise and given his mix, its a good time to plant. Packing everything in is a good way to press into the soil. Birds don't typically eat much brassica...

Given your timing, I'd mix the brassicas with the rye and plant ASAP. If your plot was in the woods, I'd put down a heavy dose of lime and 200# of 6-24-24 as well.

I haven't had much luck frost seeding switch. Much better stands spring / early summer planting IMO.

Spot on IMO.
