I believe it's a correlation to the # of acres they have access to.
I have permission on maybe 3-5 farms per year. Far from high quality deer hunting pieces (40-100 acres of mostly ag with a few draws, etc) & with other people hunting them too. I can always find at least one 160"-180" if I am...
Ironically I just talked to Farm Credit yesterday. Going to re-finance our farm through them. They can't lend more than 65% of appraised value. Current rates on 15 year fixed was 3.79% and they pay a 1% dividend every year so effective rate is 2.79%. They also do longer fixed terms. I'd be...
Just enough to hide behind & sneak out of the creek & up into the blind. Single Bales lined up on the ground would work just fine until the ladder. Then I’d need them stacked Just didn’t know if they’d be tipsy if I was going 2-3 high
So we have a 2 acre turnip/radish plot that's about 200 yards from the entrance to our farm. Most afternoons there's deer in it 3-4 hours before shooting light so bumping deer happens every hunt. I had planned to plant a plot screen but didn't get it done. I'm curious if anyone has any permanent...
Good Pete. How many times can Skip nicely state the obvious. Quit complaining or look at options to improve your soil. Based on the wealth of knowledge Skip's shared OVER & OVER again there are things you could be doing for your small plots that don't require huge budgets. Perhaps taking his...
Not to hijack the thread but a similar question. When do you start to knock down standing corn? I've got 5 acres (free seed & a buddy to plant it cheap) on the farm & have never had a grain plot before.
I'll play devil's advocate to the previous post. I think doe harvests could certainly fluctuate due to the lack of HUSH availability. Our family doesn't mind a little venison but we donate almost all of our deer. Not having a HUSH option really makes me question my strategy for harvesting does...
Some of the comments on here really surprise me. I have felt like driving our ranger to the stand/blind has had very little impact on our deer movement but now I'm questioning if I'm an idiot. I really respect the opinions of several folks that say they'd NEVER drive their Ranger to the stand...
I've gotten approaching 2" of rain at the farm. Cameras are almost all transitioned to scrapes. Food plots are going to produce. Several targets to chase.
Probably spending the next 22 days enjoying some family time & being thankful for all my blessings. My wife and I just had baby #4...
The best you can afford IMO. Every optic I own is Vortex. Customer Service is unmatched. I m own 3 pairs of their binos, spotting scope, rangefinder, and 4 scopes. Any issue it’s replaced completely free of charge. And the products themselves have been great.
I’m dealing with a similar scenario. Thankful I skipped spraying the final time bc my plot survived this crazy stretch of no rain. The downfall is intense weed pressure.
Think it’s best to mow it down to roughly the height of the radishes/turnips?
