This is a fun topic I've just started digging into the last year or so. In my area most of the farmers are running 2.8/2.9s, and that is what I have always planted for bean plots as well. Just easy to get them through farmer buddy. Always e3 since they've come out. Fall '22 was DRY. Beans...

I am in way no way questioning Bill Winke, he's one of the greats, but I have been continually surprised at how openly intrusive he is. He walks through a good portion of his wide open main bottom field to hunt it over and over and I always wonder how in the world he gets out at night without...

Interested in this as well

I have always planted a generic blend that has PTT, a few types forage turnip & rape, and like 10% radish. They eat everything in it to the dirt, bulbs included every year. I'll usually mix in some co-op cereal rye for good measure too. Still planted the greater field in the mix above, but...

I am always curious what the herbicide/fertilizer program looks like for guys that **sucessfully** do this. Nobody ever dives into that It also seems like if you had just regular, clean beans right next to it, the deer would prefer that 10:1. Even if there are sparse foxtail or other weed...

Love this thread

Very interesting. I've never used crossbow - how long does it fry the dirt under/around where it's sprayed?

Interested in this as well. Used to have a few wild ones years ago, but haven't heard one in years. I put in 25ac of CP2 this past spring, which I think would be large enough for at least a couple to live in. Nothing yet

I took a big pinch of wool maybe a couple cotton balls worth, and gobbed the bait on it. Kinda like you'd wipe a knife off with a paper towel. Not sure if that makes sense.

Feb 15th here, but you can hunt year around. What's the reasoning for the cutoff on trapping?

LOL learned that the hard way.

After finding several coyote killed fawns this past '23 spring, it became my goal to learn how to put a bigger hurt on the local coyote population. My brother and I have always called/hunted them, but it seems like you only get one crack at those dogs, then their buddies who get away are smart...

Agree on all of the above. No magic bullet, but the apps get better and better as the years go on. The more reps, the more confidence you'll have. I am still learning as well

Rarely is it solid, can't see a thing through it up to 7/8ft. Maybe to 4 or 5. There will inevitably be thin spots in it too. Simply put, they will see you sooner or later if that's all you got. Maple River Farms in MI has good miscanthus, but if you are buying any decent volume I'd find a...

If deer not bedding on you is your hurdle, then strips and screens and broken up plots most likely wont change that. Thickening your timber or one larger continuous switch field adjacent to your thickened timber most likely would though. Depending on the roads elevation relative to your...

Bingo^^

I'm not Skip but have successfully done this many times. Just let the rye mature and die into this summer. It'll nurse your clover until it can get some legs under it. No need to spray or mow. Often better that way. Once your first year clover is finally big enough where it truly needs a...

When the ground is right I have pulled them all the way up to belly button high, but I'd say anything waist and lower shouldn't be a problem. All depends if the ground is soft enough or not. Now, through mid/end March (N IL) is typically prime time. No exaggeration when I say I've had...

and you're just spraying the bases of the bush?

Thats the way to do it, exciting!!
