Cereal rye…can’t go wrong

23. Matthewfox_45 Don’t expect much other than a doe or 2 from me after last years dream season.

I’m an equal opportunity poster on social media. Doe or buck, it doesn’t matter to me. I’m a proud hunter and I like to share my kills….most of which are does.

Had waterhemp and marestail bad at the farm. It was taller then I’d like when we sprayed it…2 pints per acre of 2, 4-D smoked it.

Love your new profile pic

How much bait do you put in them Skip? I catch plenty in z traps and never fill up to the trigger

In my experience seeding yard grass at work, I’d give it a couple weeks. That’s purely anecdotal evidence so take it for what it’s worth. I’ve also seeded brassicas a week after spraying and done fine, but also had plenty of rain. Sorry I don’t have a better answer.

If Curtis is now a woman, and I think he’s cute, am I straight?

Found a dead raccoon on campus when I was a tree trimmer. It was winter time, I thought it would be a “fun” experiment to see what happens when ran through the chipper. All it did was “rattle around” between the feed wheels and the drum. Really gave me the chance to savor the flavor. Took more...

I believe there’s 3 species of poisonous snakes here, timber rattler, massasagua, and prairie rattler. The second two are only found in a couple of specific spots, so the odds of encountering them are pretty remote.

I’m almost 100% sure that neither are found in Iowa. Northern water snakes are commonly confused as water moccasins.

A lot of guys I know don’t use dog proofs when the ground is frozen hard. If the trap doesn’t come out of the ground, you lose all swiveling in the trap and chains and will have wring outs.

The disk helps stabilize the trap I believe.

There’s a pretty good Meateater podcast about this very topic. Pretty informative

I did some research a while back into that duck hunting situation that Skip shared. I’m pretty sure those kids still ended up getting charged with trespassing. Or something similar. The other dude was totally in the wrong for sure. But if I remember correctly, the landowner told them not to hunt...

I figured this guy was close to 10. Had zero prior pics until last year around thanksgiving. Had 9+” bases and not much else. Was very surprised to get the results back that he was 5.5 years old. Made no difference to me, felt good to outsmart a mature deer even though he had a small rack...

Save some for the rest of us you two! Here’s my 2007 Mazda 3, 247k miles and hauls the occasional turkey and lots of fur bearers.

He showed up on the cams last year for the first time around thanksgiving and was a regular after that. The lack of history and his obscene bases and not much else led me to believe he was old…I thought 9 or 10. Turned out I was way wrong, but I was thrilled to harvest two mature bucks in the...

I was and still am absolutely thrilled to have harvested him. They don’t have to score high to be a trophy to me. He’s a mature deer for sure!

Ishi is the winner. He was only 5.5 years old. I guess a good “management deer” if that’s all the bigger rack he had in his prime.
