Turned out great, could not have asked for a better year to do it with the rains all spring/summer. Fall was super dry but hopefully they were rooted in by then. Some didn’t grow hardly at all which I expected, was shocked that some grew out of 5’ tubes! Including some oaks. I don’t...

I did reach out to a 3-4 of them listed. Most told me they received anywhere from 12-15 calls that particular day and could not get too me. One finally told me he could get to me about noon the following day, but after telling him the situation, his instinct was the deer was still alive and we...

Thanks, I have asked to join the blood trackers app and started the Trakr app as well. Appreciate the help!

Anyone know of a tracking dog to find a deer in SE Iowa near Burlington? Also, how long after can a dog track? Wasn’t sure where to post this but figured this would be as good as any. Thanks in advance

Looks like rain the next several days. You all going to be out hunting in it? The time of year tells me I should but it has been so slow for me thus far….

Congrats on the purchase! Many on this site are huge fans of RC Bigrock. iowabowhunter is a good source for it. Would have been better to spray this fall and once more in the spring, but I think you could spray it spring and early summer and drill switch mid summer. I would personally burn...

My neighbor to farm in SE Iowa sent me a pic of a 4-5 year old buck he found yesterday. Not good!

Looks great Ishi!

I have the exact same thing going right now, just rebuilt a pond dam. I talked with Welter Seed and they recommended their “Soil Saver” seed mix which is a blend of cool season grasses. I just drilled the seed last weekend so praying for a couple of light rains.

Sorry to stir up a debate but as always I enjoy learning from others on this site! Farm is SE Iowa Van Buren County. I do normally no till drill but this is an area that I had a dozer clear so it has some holes from stumps that need some work. I will probably need to fill it up and run a box...

Cleared about 3/4 acre of timber/brush yesterday for a good plot. Hopefully going to seed it next weekend. Given the time of year, would you do brassicas (mix I have is 50% radishes) or rye? Will be adjacent to a soybean plot.

Power steering?

Pops, we have farms near Birmingham. I sent you a PM as we must be very close

I agree does are over harvested in many areas. There are pockets that have too many deer I believe but not any of the areas I hunt.

Dang Droptine, you are my neighbor right in between our two farms. If you have dead ones I am sure I do as well!

250 acres (3 tracts) just sold at auction in Van Buren county for $4,925/ac up to about $6k/ac. Good looking hunting farm with about 50/50 mix of timber and tillable (albeit very low csr). 5% buyers fee on top of prices. Seems like the prices were down in this particular auction.

I have a Bakcou Mule and seems to be a great bike. Don’t have experience with any others to compare to though

What part of the state are you in? I know of a couple that gather seeds/nuts to sell

I am going to spray it as soon as weather cooperates and drill in some alfalfa. Looked at it again today and very little, if any existing alfalfa in the stand

Going to order some alfalfa from Welter Seeds and likely do a couple plots ranging from .5ac up to 2ac. Likely going to put them in hay fields. Hay fields may have MINIMAL VERY old faint alfalfa. Very little if any. Do you think this will be ok or do I still need to kill it off and plant...
