I agree with hackberry. I would be cautious hanging a stand in it if that is your intention. That split in the trunk and the size of the tree would have me concerned with how solid it is Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m a lefty and have always shot right hand, right eye dominant. I am fairly ambidextrous with tools but not guns. My wife is right handed and struggled shooting until I figured out she is left eye dominant. Then she did better than me. Don’t fight nature I guess. Sent from my iPhone...

Sleepy Creek Tannery does a nice job tanning. I think they have connections with someone that sees fur too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have an old double door fridge a buddy gave me Years ago. There have been a couple I had to cut in half to get them in it but it is great for early season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Never been but the texas hunting forum raves about a guy from corpus christi named captain clint. Good enough reviews I have considered taking a road trip there and fishing for a couple days

Ha ha carry over! I bought some gly for work this summer, manufacture date of 2017 and 2018. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Contact your district forester, I think Jeremy Cocharan is in central Iowa. They will have a list of recommendations, one of them is the old district forester. A couple neighbors used him a few years ago and were very happy with him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Turf type fescue will look the best in dry years. Buy a blend that has some rtf(rysomitis tall fescue) in it if you can. It grows more like bluegrass so will fill in weak spots. I have a baseball field at work that had a little rtf in the bluegrass sod. It looks like you could burn it off in a...

Is there some grass on the trails now? If so just mow it a couple times a year and it should thicken up. Overseed or frost seed clover into it but in my experience the clover dies out in a couple years. I bushhog the trails through my timber and they have good grass cover on them. I’m always...

Plenty of cattle around here and one big feedlot 4 miles south. Even in years that ehd isn’t a problem I find at least one dead velvet buck in the crick. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m on the marion mahaska line and the big crick through my place has been dry for a month. It’s a matter of time at this point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A bunch of pieces to this and a lot of them have been mentioned already. Teen age hunter brought up a good point about his generation. They are happy to make enough money to meet their needs today with no real plan for the future. That isn’t a dig at Josh, he is living a life most of us are...

Worse if you are trophy hunting in my opinion. I started deer hunting in the early 90’s shotgun season. Pressure was crazy in my area. It was buck only and if it had antlers you shot it. Lots and dinks got killed but a fair number of big bucks too. Back then you barely saw a tree stand in...

Fall planted grass does way better than spring seeded. I would just plant a good Kentucky blue perennial rye mix late August and not worry about a cover crop. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I will get pictures of my neighbors bridge. It started out as two trailer house frames and then he added on to one end. Quit the farmer engineering masterpiece Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My neighbor has several bridges for his utv’s. The deer use all but the longest one, it’s pushing 150 foot. Another thought, get a mini excavator and cut a nice slope on the banks where you want the deer to cross. I reworked some crick banks on my little farm a few years ago and it changed how...

We had a top handle husky at a city parks dept I worked for years ago. Great saw for pruning trees and clearing small trees, took down some 10-12" trees with it and it got the job done.

I agree with Dave, log the maples to open up the canopy and then plant willows.

Close to 50% holding on my camera yet. Walked some public land this weekend and found 2.

Skip it sounds like you need to make a couple bait stations and set a bunch of snares. Hunting will get some but trapping or snaring would do the most good. A group with a good pack of hounds can put the hurt on them too, especially in deep snow. I had neighbors that ran hounds for several...
