Well it has been awhile! I haven't been on IW or any other fourm all summer and fall due to work and internet issues!:thrwrck:... I had a lot of reading to catch up on this week! I have missed you guys and all of your great posts! I can't wait to share some some of the stuff I've been working...

Interesting stuff Paul! Plant deep and dry :way:

If you play with fire you're going to get burned... or something like that. Today I was running a line of fire along a road with my ranger and drip torch. The road was nice and dry, but when I turned to bring the fire up the side and went through the ditch...<O:p</O:p <O:p></O:p> It got pretty...

Thanks Paul! I had dreams of finally being done with my spraying! :thrwrck:Dang weather! Thats a great tip! thanks :drink2:

When it comes to rubber boots, there are some fine choices out there! I have bought dozens yes dozens of pairs of boots! Muck boots and LaCrosse always used to be my favorite! The only thing about those boots were that Muck boots were too heavy and Lacrosse boots would always wear out too fast...

Yesterday I took to a new project that involved using cuttings to screen a new food plot. The food plot as seen in the drawing is the deadly Y shape food plot! The shape of this plot naturally brings cruising bucks to the center of the plot and within bow range. Using cuttings I am attempting to...

Awesome! I was wondering what you were going to replace the old one with! :way:

Its an Albino Bluebell! ;)

I have heard similar reports... Paul's Eastern Gama grass project has got me thinking I could do PCG in RM's and we might have a better chance of making it work. :way: If you could do me a favor Phil and post some pictures this fall of how you collect seeds, I may be able to find a PCG plant in...

I have tried this once and it seemed to work well for me. We harvested our last crop of clover in the first week of Sept., cutting it very short. I then no-tilled in soybeans. It rained the next day and 2 weeks after the soybeans were 6"tall and growing at the same rate as the clover... It...

It all depends on the type of cutting you are planting. I don't see much browse on willow's in my area. For this planting I won't be too worried anyways because it isn't in the highest area of deer travel (yet). Yes I'm sure things are much a lot greener down there right now!

Awesome! how big will they be when you transplant them? Phil, u have any PCG seeds laying around? :drink2::rolleyes:

Planting Cuttings If you are looking to increase your shrub population on your property there are a couple ways to do it. You can buy bare root shrubs from a tree nursery, or you can take some of your existing shrubs and make cuttings. To make a cutting, take one of the branches of a shrub...

WOW! Whenever I get stuck I always know that I have bigger equipment on higher ground just in case! For your situation, I don't know of many tractors that are bigger than a 9400 or many people who have a spare 9400 sitting around on higher ground!:D

The smallest of these trees are in the 4' range with the tallest at about 10'. Switchgrass generally is around 6' so it won't be long before these oaks are towering over the switch. Not to mention, it will be 2 years before that switchgrass is at full height and thickness. Not too sure if it...

Spring is a wonderful time of year! The best time of year to get out to the land and start doing some serious habitat work! Unfortunately spring is also the wettest time of year! But will a little soggy soil keep us from working on the land? Not a chance! However, wet soggy marshes and swamps...

Good for you Paul! Now off to the JD dealer for the upgrade?

We tried to leave dirt on the roots, but like I said, most of the dirt was gone by the time the trees made it to the pre-dug holes. It was very much like planting bare root transplants. we were very carefull to make sure the holes were big enough and the dirt filled in and covered all of the...

Ha Ha yes Paul always seems to do it the right way:way:. Unfortunatly I never seem to have the forsight or correct planning on some of my projects and I end up forcing things at times. Yes the oust should work on its own, but it does work slower than gly. It wouldn't hurt to add gly just to be...

Very interesting! Sometimes I look at the amount of money that has been spent on deer, whether its on hunting gear, land, guided hunts, etc. The money I have spend alone is quite considerable. I think wow what if that money had been spend differently. :thrwrck: Then I wake up from that bad dream...
