In earlier posts Dbltree says not to spray switch after the first week of May because that is when Switch generally starts to germinate... I would think any time from now until then should be fine. However, the longer you wait, the better your round up will work on the weeds. In a perfect...

I ordered some seed from Osenbaugh's today and originaly intended on buying a 50/50 CIR/Blackwell switch grass mix as well as some Big Bluestem to mix in the same area. However, after talking to John (Osenbaugh), he recommended going with CanLow switchgrass instead of the BB. He said that the...

HA HA! well said! Deer are creatures of habit, and if you can do as dbltree does and create a situation where your deer adapt to a yearlong routine, death will be a very predictable outcome to the deer you are hunting! ;) preferably a 160 class :way:

Oust fried my shrubs So I learned the hard way that Oust is tough on shrubs... you mentioned Prowl for shrubs as well as simazine/surflan? what rates do you guys use for those? and are you mixing them with RU? I assume that these are all all to be sprayed before dormancy break. ?

ok, well I'll stick to atrazine then... but I'll try a few small test areas with oust to see how it works. How about oust on 1 year old switch? What is the latest time I could spray oust on that? if at all?

Paul, can I spray oust xp right now on an area that I want to plant into swtich grass this year? I was hoping to plant now as well as spray oust xp right now. Then late april spray round up just to clean up the area before the switch germinates. Is there still enough time for the oust to...

Well said! :way: I agree 100%! When a buck reaches "senior" status, he almost literally turns into a different creature! He knows his turf like no person or other deer ever could! Hunting such a beast takes 5 times the skill and know how than it takes to bring down a younger animal. This...

10 - 4 on the over head cover Paul! :way:

Another cheap way is to use gravity... We have water plumbed up to a 1000gal tank which fills the sprayer in a hurry! The round up and 2-4D is also ran by gravity. The hoses run outside so all we have to do is pull up, fill up, and off we go! This is set up more for full scale farming, but a...

Logging Today we took to the task of clear cutting a 2 acre poplar woods... The woods looks fairly open now, but in the summer there is no light getting to the forest floor.<O:p</O:p <O:p></O:p> As you can see there is little to no browse within reach of the deer.<O:p</O:p <O:p></O:p> We used...

Here is a before after picture of my field entrance blocking... Before After This edge feathering was done 2 weeks ago, but as of the next night deer were filing around the ends of this field block right past the stands on each end... Also it is amazing how fast they start to browse on the...

I don't have any red cedars where I am,:( but I have tried to hinge a pine or two... Hinging didn't for me with pines...:mad: But what did seem to work is when I took my Gehl skid loader and pushed this pine over. Leaving the trunk whole, I was able to just pull some of the roots up. I know...

Exelent! thanks!... do you just plant pure American's Phil? or do you also plant hybrids?

Please! I need the insurance money to buy more land! :way:

Phil, do you buy and plant blight resistant chestnuts the same way you are doing your acorns? If so, where do you buy them? I have a small case of chestnut fever right now...:rolleyes:

also, some trees just don't like hinging... From my experience, trying to hinge aspen or poplar trees is not worth the time. I hinged many last year and had 0% live. They did however send up tons of new shoots from the stump and deer are still bedding next to the fallen tops even tho they are...

WELL SAID!:way: spikes = 150" in 5 yrs.! by age 3 their bodies and sketal systems are "caught up" to the other bucks born at the "normal time" on the same birth year. My property management view is something like this.... shoot does to get the herd 4 or 5 does to 1 buck... create as much...
