We planted about 2000 spruce trees last year thinking the deer couldn't get them all. They have either eaten or pulled most out of the ground. I was going to plant more this year until I saw the deer damage a couple weeks ago. I would say most of the damage was during the winter since my...

I received my letter as well. I talked to the NRCS, I was told I will have to spray, or disk, or inter-seed in the spring of 2008. I was also told that I could get 50% cost share for doing this work. I wanted to get started this year or next but I'll probably wait since I can get the cost...

This link should work, just had to remove the two spaces. Your property looks great for hunting. Congrats on your purchase. If you decide to enroll some of the ground into the CRP you can then plant food plots in 10% of this ground. Tim...

As always, you should check with the NRCS office. But I think you can do mid-contract management on 1/3 of your acreage each year. I don't know if they will allow you to re-plant just clover but they should be able to suggest something better than the brome. I have 85 acres of brome I can't...

The insurance lobby is basically "managing" the herd in MI. In southern MI you can buy one doe tag a day so you could shoot about 150 deer if you wanted to. Tags are only $7. I would say the population in the county I live in is less than half of what it was 5 years ago. There are still...

If you send me an email I can send you a few pictures. I take pictures of my food plots every year. email: baker@nsf.org Tim

Last night it was $2.41 near me. This morning it was $2.89. All because of the Hurricane?? Tim

Nice pictures. Are those ticks on the first bucks neck? Tim

Sounds like a lot of us have the same couple weeks off. I also have the 29th-15th off. I thought about moving my two weeks back a week but it looks like I'll just stay with what I had planned. I should stop watching the Drury's, heck they can make the middle of October look awesome. Tim

We planted one 2-3 acre field back on Aug. 8th. We planted corn the last 3 years in this field without much luck so it will be a clover field in the future. We planted a mix that contains the following perennials: 5 clovers, Chicory, and alfalfa. The mix also contains the following annuals...

Re: Poachers promoted by members of Iowa whitetail.com I was curious to see if Mr. Grassmid applied for a license this year. It's hard to tell becasue there's a result under the name Bob but no Rob. He also has 6 relatives that like to hunt IA. I sure hope the DNR is keeping track of Rob and...

JNRBRONC, $65,000 Canadian is actually about $53,000 US dollars. Tim

150 Class, you're just looking at it wrong. The points in the spreadsheet are what you have after this year's drawing. So if the person drew a tag they now have zero points. As far as zone 5 archery, last year if you had a point you drew a tag. This year I see a lot of people now have 2...

Zim, by putting in with your partner you had no chance at drawing a tag. Unlike last year I found a lot of people in Zone 5 (archery) with 2 points. Tim

We're going down the same road here in MI, trying to lower the deer population due to the insurance companies bottom line. The DNR keeps coming up with new seasons and longer season dates (new this year: ML season is now the entire month of Dec.). One thing they got right a few years ago are...

Good job, that looks very good. I perfer to mount mine so they angle out from the wall instead of straight down. Takes up more room but they look a lot better in my opinion. I bought a 3 piece pedestal from Van Dykes and then just used it for a pattern. I made a bunch so I could stain them...

Hoyt Ultratec @ 67 lbs.

The drawing is usually done about June 25th and you'll get your money back about July 15th. Tim

I doubt the bill can expire and they probably have enough votes to over ride a veto. I'm not sure how it works in Iowa but in Michigan if the Governor doesn't sign a bill, it automatically becomes law. Tim

I would recommend getting a used bow as well. My 2002 Hoyt Ultratec is an awesome bow IMO. I see them listed on Archerytalk for $300 and nobody is buying them. A bow’s value drops significantly as soon as you walk out the pro shop door. If he wants a brand new bow have him look at the Reflex...
