Another vote for cedars. They are ugly as sin compared to spruce, but the deer leave them alone so I’m going to transplant some this year. My spruce plantings have been a massive failure due to testy, ornery bucks tearing the heck out of them.

I have this same thought at times and I agree, it’s a terrible reason to hunt. I enjoy the peace and quiet but I’m also driven to succeed. I need to think there’s at least a chance at a good buck, otherwise I’ll just hunt does close to the road. I’d hate being a rut-only hunter like everyone...

I haven’t stressed, but I also can’t enjoy it if there isn’t a big one around to hunt. Hunted 10/1-3 and saw zero deer and was super bummed. Pulled a cam at the end of that last sit, and had multiple big bucks on it, even though they were in the middle of the night, it’s still reinvigorated my...

Don’t believe your lying eyes, believe what the party tells you

Love him or hate him, ranch fairy opened my eyes to the Vital V. My perception of the anatomy was way off and now I’m aiming where I should and I’m better off for it.

I normally quarter and keep the meat on ice in a cooler for a couple days while I wait for my back pain to subside enough to do the rest of the butchering and packaging. Wet aging is the way to go, either before it goes into the freezer or after it comes out. More important for round steak out...

A dilemma many would envy. Hopefully it works out for you.

Relax turkey

I’ve had so many roundup “oopsies” around fruit trees and shrubs that I wouldn’t trust myself on that option.

I’m sure it’ll be a great summer and early fall bedding spot, but after a few frosts, it’d be pretty flat. So it would depend on your goals.

What’s next for Republicans? Well everything is going to plan. They will continue to intentionally lose on every single issue every election cycle, while the same people get elected and will continue to feast off of our hard work while not standing up for our best interests.

https://my4sons.com/products/m4-battery-powered-backpack-sprayer I’d look very hard at this family company if you’re in the market for a battery powered. Personally I’ll never pump again. I’d buy this one again when I need a new one.

LATIN KING! I lived there 4 years for school, and this was our favorite restaurant by a mile. Overall the food joints there were nothing to write home about, with the exception of Latin King, fantastic Italian restaurant.

I’m waiting on my seed in the mail. As soon as it arrives and our 3 inches of snow melts, I’ll be spreading it.

It has taken me lots of “practice”, but if you spend enough time in the woods, eventually your skill will improve. The apps definitely help a lot, I tried several field guides and websites.

I’ve been grafting the wild mulberry over to Illinois Everbearing. No fruit yet, but they’ve browsed the new shoots heavily, so either graft up higher or cage.

Merry Xmas to me!

I’m getting an IWOM for XMAS. Fingers crossed it works as advertised. Right now I wear an uninsulated boot and thin wool sock to the tree, layer a heavier pair on top, and use boot blankets. Fine until wind chills dip below 30 or its snow out, then I go to the Baffin insulated boots. Boot...

I absolutely target patches of MFR during my scouting and hunting on public as it’s great cover and its the only thing that keeps other guys out. I have a hard time leaving it on private, but if I clear out an area and provide the sunlight, something thick will grow up.

If you’re cutting and spraying stumps, I’d just use roundup. If you want to spray the bark without cutting, mix diesel and triclopyr at about a 4:1 rate and spray all the way around.
