    Regs Dialogue with MDC Director

    Harvest totals give a good indication of herd size and habitat quality, not age structure.. My county is among the top 5 every year in harvest, yet has a poor age structure. This tells us the habitat and fawn recruitment is great, but so is the hunter pressure during a time in which mature...

    Agree 100%. Would make a great difference.

    The age structure is definitely "young" compared to the surrounding states of Iowa and Kansas. Gun season during the rut is the #1 cause of this. Many more P&Y / B&C bucks taken from those states, despite our habitat and food being good (or better). The genetics in MO are as good as anyone's...

    x100. Been preaching this for years!

    Brassica yellowing

    Same. My peas are yellowing quick, along with some radish. Without any rain in the next week, I suspect I'll be losing some daily..

    Deer Decoy

    Just last night, I had to text a neighbor to come through honking like mad driving along our field, cleared things quick..

    Deer Decoy

    Interesting point.. hadn't thought of that. The only time I've used a decoy, I ended up shooting a buck over it. Worked incredibly well. But my sample size is only 1 :)

    Great work man.

    Deer Reacting to Cell Cams

    Nonfactor IMO. Signal is not close enough to cause an issue up in a tree. Interesting hypothesis for the ground hunter however..

    Had a quick popup shower after I planted, and everything is up! Glad I didn't wait for the "perfect" forecast! This is why I plant by date every year in the fall. .

    Deer Reacting to Cell Cams

    Yes, he mostly uses Reconyx cellular. He's mentioned this before. It's something to do with the cellular signal itself. I've never had any issues with my Reconyx cameras spooking mature bucks after I changed the flash setting to medium. I know Don has 50+ Reconyx cameras and typically...

    oats

    Little to none. If they grow too quickly they get leggy and lose their palatability. I only fertilize if I have heavy browse pressure or I’m late planting. Good luck!

    Deer Reacting to Cell Cams

    That could be flash, and not necessarily cell signal. I’ve had similar results with non cellular cameras. That being said, once I switched to better cameras (Reconyx) and reduced the flash output to medium, I’ve never had an issue again. Same with no glow cameras, tend not to have issues.

    Switchgrass

    Looks great. You know I bet weed control is much easier later in the season too!

    Wow, hadn't thought of that. Great question. @deep woods goat hunter I'm sure there are major strings attached if they do!!

    Deer Reacting to Cell Cams

    - They say a small potted plant will die if kept next to a cell phone, due to electromagnetic radiation. - Entire animal kingdoms evacuate areas days before a tsunami hits the coast. Or know when an earthquake is coming? They are definitely more in touch with their environments than we give...

    Regs Dialogue with MDC Director

    Agree. I had a neighbor that had a CWD positive (a few farms over), and were contacted by MDC. The additional "killing" was optional for the neighbor. I spoke with him directly. MDC only gets forceful when they get "hot zones", or where several deer in that specific neighborhood test...

    Regs Dialogue with MDC Director

    The main question I'd like to see Jason address is.. IMO, it appears MDC is using CWD as a trojan horse to keep deer numbers down. I believe the special interest groups are encouraging and pushing the CWD fear mongering agenda as a way to reduce our populations. Have a positive in your area...

    FWIW, I asked a few follow up questions to Joe's original email, namely if the survey results had changed over time of moving the rifle season outside the rut. There has been some improvement, but it does still appear we are in the vast minority (15% historically to now 20%). This does...

    Brassicas

    I think you're misinterpreting my response to the earlier question. The question was asked "given the time of year". My response was based on the time of year, (going on Labor Day) for planting date for the specific mix list of seed he mentioned. It wasn't based on "blindly throwing out...
