    Controlled Timber Burns

    Timber burns are typically recommended every 3-5 years. Also, if you are just burning without any TSI work then this may actually be counterproductive. Sunlight to the forest floor is key.

    Ran a fire through the farm this weekend

    Road systems and creeks are your best friend. Another reason why I'm a huge proponent of having a road around your property and not just through it. Humidity between 30-60% ( I prefer 40-60%), Winds 3-8 mph

    Ran a fire through the farm this weekend

    Fire is my favorite turkey "food plot" :) Our month of March is extremely busy, so we had to take advantage of the day!

    Ran a fire through the farm this weekend

    That's the plan. Since I'm in SW Missouri, we will green up a couple of weeks sooner. This is the first fire after the TSI work was completed. So, I'm pretty excited to see how it responds.

    Ran a fire through the farm this weekend

    Really didn't look for any. For 2 guys, we were VERY busy getting this done on a 1 day burn :) I will have to go looking when back up there. Last year found some small ones after a burn...but, we burned in March last year.

    Ran a fire through the farm this weekend

    Timing and weather finally cooperated. Have had a 52 acre burn planned this dormant season. While not "great" satellite pics, EOS has a landviewer that captured these aerial images. The before and after. 26 acres of old field management burned, and 26 acres of TSI woods burned. Was a little...

    GM AFM Disabler

    Been reading and looking at them lately. From my studying, it sounds like regular oil changes are the best thing for AFM engines. Which, does make some sense. For example, my wife's tahoe has 245k on it. I'm pretty religious about oil changes. It seems to be going strong. BUT, I am looking...

    Land prices / insane!!!

    I believe land has the ability to follow behind some of the "hot" real estate markets from the past couple of years. It was / is "sexy" in the beginning, but it loses its luster quickly for those who aren't truly invested into it. For example, I keep tabs on some vacation properties down in a...

    Rut Action/Movement Reports

    SWMO was pretty slow with rut behavior this past weekend. Does still grouped up, and only saw a couple of spikes dogging yearlings. Tons of acorns down here as well. Camera's didn't show much either. This upcoming weekends weather looks primo...unfortunately for us, this weekend is the start...

    Hunting in the rain

    One of my best bucks was within 30 minutes after the rain passed through 1 morning. Went to town, ate breakfast, got dressed in the camper, and when the rain started to lighten up booked it to the stand. He came through like a madman quickly after that. Community and hot scrapes are also a...

    Jared Mills leaving Midwest Whitetail

    It is interesting. 41 North being Jared's media company which produced MW...I wonder if he sold his part of that or if that is where his focus is going to be but in a different direction. I've always enjoyed the Chasing November series. It's a relaxing and enjoying show...well wishes to Jared...

    Land prices / insane!!!

    At a minimum 50%. What has happened the past 18 months, and what is continuing to happen in the financial sector of this world was done to absolutely cripple lower / middle class America. To create a dependence upon our almighty govt.

    Land prices / insane!!!

    A big issue is a lot of folks are pulling $ out of the stock market and looking to put it somewhere more stable. I think I mentioned it here, earlier this year I put a full price offer on a property within in 2 hours of it going up for sale, and they decided to take it to a bidding war. I told...

    200 inchers?

    Interesting. I've got a cell cam on my driveway, and darn near every night I have the same does walk down the drive way crossing it at 1:30 am. I usually will get 2-3 pictures of them because they stop to take a few bites and then move on.

    200 inchers?

    Randomly...and I haven't heard this past year, but 2 or 3 years ago Oklahoma led the country in most 200" deer harvested. Oklahoma private lands are primo these days, but public is some rough terrain.

    Land prices / insane!!!

    I've got some realtor friends who will say that while it has "slowed down, it is still very strong". HOWEVER, they are dealing in single family homes. To ME, a strong market is when individual investors are putting their $$ into / back into it because they believe in the market. And, that is...
