November 12 this year. 100% shed and not broken. Nothing appears wrong with the deer. Healthy appearance and seen him couple different days. Even appeared to be chasing does one evening. I’ve never seen anything like this year. By far the strangest year to date

Warm weather equals fewer birds? I dream of 40-50s in December. Goose hunters dream.

10x shot! Great buck. Congrats.

X2. What’s the point of harvesting her out of any other doe? The “cool” social media need me some atta boys and likes post? She’d be a very noticeable and easy Doe to follow around on your farm. Document her success each spring while fawning, watch grow old, etc etc. Guess the older I...

Hands down been the worst year for me from the camera perspective. Lush, green plots getting hit 1 in 3 days. No EHD that I’m aware of. Hardly any mature deer on cameras. Hardly any buck sign; scrapes, rubs, etc. I know the acorn crop is a bumper one, but when a corn field gets cut and...

Are those archery kills? Or youth hunters using sniper rifles, I mean 350 legends……..

yes I would agree with that. Spring was definitely dry. I would even go a step further and say mild/dry winter left the entire subsoil dry well into spring. But once summer got fired up, we caught a lot of rain that other areas missed. Some of the best crops this area’s ever seen. So I’m...

I guess why I’m so perplexed is the fact our area (Clarke county) has gotten good rains all summer. We didn’t enter a drought stage until we’ll after bucks had tipped and or even lost velvet. But I’mi in the same exact boat as well as my good buddies up in Warren county as well. It’s hands...

Who said anything about non residents? Guilty is guilty, regardless of who you are. What color you are. What your religion is. I doesn’t matter. But us Iowa residents love every time you boys from Minnesota cry………

Might as well bring this to the battlefront……

3 farms I had sprayed…….all a guy had to do was follow the flocks of turkey. They were out there hammering the worms. It was almost comical to watch. 30 birds just running around like rats plucking them worms out of the grass.

Spray. It’s cheap. Cost me 12$/acre with application to have the coop spray all my hay that was getting destroyed. it will grow back potentially. But a guys risk plants going into the winter with very little in the gas tank. Hard winter could very well kill your stand of hay, clover, etc...

+2 on this one. There becomes a time where from one hunter to another hunter you have to draw a line. It’s only 30 acres and you know someone who lives right across from the farm is hunting it. Had you not known someone else was in there the situation would be different. But just because you...

I don’t think anyone’s disagreeing with you. But when you buy from Welters, are they telling you germination rates and when the seed was packaged? Honest question because I’ve never heard of them. I’ve run into issues, specially at theisens where seed had very very poor germination. (bought it...

I’ve planted some of those cheaper seed varsities. I understand they work. But IMO and from my experiences over the years. Big and beasty has out performed them 10 fold. I live in an area that fall rains can be super spotty. Seems like big and beasty takes way less moisture to germ and get...

misread the plot sizes, might be time to get those glasses bought! Stick with the 50 lb bags, small amount of product. Best of luck with the plots! Keep us posted.

Keep the fertilizer simple. If you’re doing that many acres, your farmer buddy should be able to get you in touch with a local coop and you can buy bulk. It’s going to save you a lot of money instead of overpaying for 50lb bags. The numbers on the bag represent % of product. So 13-13-13...

Least they left him a few stands of water hemp. How nice of them.

Not sure where you are located and if you live around your farm or not. But if your food plots are located in southern iowa, we are getting rain as we speak. Huge relief. This should be enough rain to make your brassicas blow up.

The epicenter from couple years ago. I sure hope he’s one of the only ones.
