I have a buck that is a 4x5 ish but is a year or two away from being special. He showed up with a very clear limp yesterday, as if he has been shot or maybe injured in a fight. He is barely using his front right leg. Does anyone have any experience with something like this, do you think there is...

That is awesome!

If you want to hunt in 2014 I would look into Wyoming, Montana, New Mexico, or Idaho. Plan on putting lots of miles on the boots and you can not see elk for days and then when you find the herd be surrounded by 100. Any other questions, let me know... Good Luck!

I've read a lot about you guys planting Dwarf Chinkapin Oak over the last 5 years, how are they producing? Have you noticed any additional attractant to these stands? Finally does anyone know of any acorns/ bare root stock that are available for 2014?

Thanks for almost 100 pages of information here guys! As I browse the thread I see lots of scattered information. Hopefully someone can help with a quick synopsis... 1 What has been your top choice for producing mast asap? 2 Most desirable mast during hunting season? 3 Easiest/most reliable...

This is true, insurance saved a lot of guys last year, and I was one of the guys who received a check. I would have much rather produced 197 bushel corn. I would say most of your land that is going for 10-20k an acre right now is a situation where either two bidders sat and looked at the land...

The answer to your question, is the cost to drive across 150 bushel ground is the same as 200 bushel ground. The equipment all costs the same. About the only inputs that go down with cheaper ground are land prices, fertilizer, and transport. Almost everything else is the same. Plus if land is...

You had me excited for a minute! Is the timber worth anything? Other than deer production?

Where? In South Dakota they are selling 120 bushel corn ground for 4-6k an acre...

I saw a figure the other day that said current farmers have a nationwide land debt ratio of 11%. That is pretty powerful, but land values follow revenue. When corn goes down we will probably see a correction, especially in the top end, but I have been saying this for 5 years so who knows when it...

224 I can't imagine how much your taxidermy bill was! that is one of the coolest walls I've every seen! There are some great man caves in this thread, I just finished my basement and have started to decorate my cave. Looks like I have some catching up to do!

i'm pretty sure Dbltree had a thread on planting Radish, Turnip, Rape and Winter Rye into standing crops after the first frost. Once they stop growing and start dying for the season planting the off season food plots build the soil, feed the deer and don't compete with the crops. I've tried it...

Most of our quality public hunting land is west river. I would get out of the pheasant areas, because those public areas get pounded hard by bird hunters. http://gfp.sd.gov/hunting/areas/maps/default.aspx

I would say it is area specific. The river bottoms have more whitetails and the prairie has more mule deer. Either could pop up anywhere.

I spent 2 days scouting, looking for a big mule deer that I had been hearing about. I found some nice White tails but no shooter Mulies, however I was saving my sprained ankle for opening day so I was mostly scouting from the road. I was optimistic I would find the buck I was after and set...

All I can say is your wife is AWESOME!

Thank you for your epic food plot threads, they are the best out there!:way::way:

Monsanto and alot of other big ag companies in the know are predicting 300 bushel national average corn yields in the next 17-20 years. Multiply that by $7 a bushel and you see where the higher prices are coming from... I think just like the 70's into the 80's there will be a good oportunity to...
