Got a few buckeyes given to me- do deer eat them at all? Guy gave me a few burr oaks too- the acorns off them were the size of golf balls or maybe slightly bigger, was crazy to see that size. I have a few chestnuts already growing on year 2- just really trying to get super diverse. Any...
I know many won’t be a fan when I say this- mainly due to people who break the laws are going to break the laws.
I think we need a shed season (at least on public)- I know guys who start the moment gun seasons are over just because they are afraid someone else might get them.
I think if you’re...
Are they first gen cameras? I’ve noticed my first gen’s are blowing through batteries ever since 5g starting kicking off statewide. My newer ones no issues
Not a bad read- it is crazy the amount of shed poaching.

One of many I took here in Northern Iowa. We see them once a year it seems- this year multiple times. This was the best- they really danced across the sky
I currently had 7- used to be the pro plan or whatever but some of the cams barely took pictures and some took lots. So backed it down but that was a mistake. One property is 2 hours away so they are handy. But over $50 a month for 500 pics per cam- looking at others now
Me- I’d give it a try. Yeah they don’t look good, but you had 2 reasons they could have been stressed. If it doesn’t work you’re out a little time. If it works- I want some next year!
My opinion- we’ve became our own enemy. Who wants to shoot a 130” deer when we’ve got 160” on cam? Well guess what- those 130” breed just as much and spread bad genetics. I think the years of “managing” has actually sent a lot of areas backwards
That’s the downfall- people just assume fences are always right. He might think twice if they decide they want to bulldoze a path through along that fence ♂️
All the private sales I know of haven’t gotten any “deals” from family members. Basically saving the realtor/auction fee is enough for them. They just get offered first is the only “win” I’ve seen
Looks like my area as well- they move out into a grass patch north of my house which I can watch with a spotting scope. Not brush to hit their antlers- and can see all the sides around them. Its amazing how smart they are really
If it’s all the same- then it doesn’t matter. Kind of end of story?
But again- I’d do SE for prevailing wind- no matter what- you are going to have wind. The SE would hunt larger due to that in my area.
Yeah- we are getting a new survey done when we add an acre to our piece- it’s a mess. The last time we dealt with the fence on a different piece- our lawyers said neighbor did not have to pay half because we only wanted it as a “boundary” and not for livestock. No idea if that was true- but...
