I’m with Rous14 and firmly in the camp of more bucks = more chances that the “right” bucks get to older age class. Only 3 out of 10 bucks have the genetics to get Uge, and 99% of guys will kill them at 3 years old. I’d have killed them, and did, 10 years ago. Everyone is at a different point in...

How much lower have you seen rec ground sell for in your area?

I laughed when you said you wouldn't ever hunt Missouri. I'm still trying to convince my wife to move to Iowa.......

Have you had success establishing a clover plot when planted with brassicas?

Trycolpyr in late July/August is what my private land biologist suggested. CRP maintenance is much more involved than I initialy thought. We have sercia we need to deal with too.

What did you spray them with? I have to battle some back too.

I'm 5 hours from my farm so timing when the crop is ready has been tricky. The rye is good to go on Memorial Weekend some years but other years, like this year, it's not ready. The other reason is I'm converting more of my plots to clover and chicory. Between the distance and constant...

It weighed 1050 lbs with the front adapter plate. Adding water adds about 75 lbs per foot.

Selling my 4 ft crimper made by I&J for Drop Tine Seed Company. Like new, less than 10 acres on it. It comes with a 3 point hitch and a brand new, still on the pallet frame to pull it behind an UTV. The frame is red. I ran it on my front end loader with an adapter plate so you will need to...

I’d rather have neighbors that shoot the first decent buck they see than ones that hold out for a trophy, provided there is a solid population of bucks, and they aren’t running too many hunters. As Rous14 has been saying, it is a numbers game. The fact is only about 1 in 3 bucks has high end...

I've planted warm season soil builders a few times and they turned out great as long as it rained. My fall hunting mixes drilled into the summer mixes have not done well at all.......due to a lack of rain. I love the concept but the consistent lack of rain has me going to more clover based...

Would frost seeding this spring succeed in a plot that I planted rye last fall? My thought is the clover wouldn't be able to get established since the rye would take off first. I didn't plant clover with rye last fall because I wasn't intending to go to clover long term in this spot. Thanks

He would go out of business if he didn't charge that much since he's in MN and there are so few big bucks shot. Hahahaha!

We had hundreds of acres of standing corn to our west this year and heard rumors of guys baiting over there as well. It makes sense a lot of deer were in the standing corn but the bucks seem to follow a similar pattern last year when those fields were harvested beans.

Sounds like you are on a great path! Cattle were on this farm until we bought in in late 2021 so we have 2 growing seasons since the cattle have been gone. I sprayed some of the more open areas in the pastures the first fall and seeded some of it to switch. Other areass I'm letting regen...

The farm is 120 acres with 33 tillabe and the balance in overgrown pasture and a brushy creek bottom. The way it lays out it has 3 somewhat seperate sections of cover that we treat as sanctuaries. They should be ideal for holding separate doe groups. This is the first year we have had...

Exactly what I want to do. I thought the good cover would take care of it alone but so far that is not the case so I'm looking for other suggestions.

I want one!! I'm on year 3 of a new farm in extreme North MO and buck sightings seem to dwindle during early to mid November each year before they move back in after peak rut. Each farm has it's own personality and this trait sucks! The only thing I can think of is there is not enough...

I heard a guy on the Land Podcast claim he gets away with using a very bright headlamp and can walk right by and up to deer. I'm guessing since the deer can't see his outline they aren't spooked. He hunts unpressured ground in Decatury County, IA so that might be a factor. Either way, I...

The good news: MN is a 1 buck state. The bad news: Party hunting during archery and gun seasons is a very common.
