    OK wild hogs

    Took Hudson on his first father son out of state hunting trip, chasing free range wild hogs with thermals. First night was real good, got six, should've had more. Kids had a blast! Hudson shot his first hog all on his own, tough situation too. Had three hunters in a line, 87yds from three...

    Hudson's biggest buck to date

    Hudson is in his third season of hunting. He's had some great success and is loving every second of it. We've gone out during youth season a few times but only saw a few does and 1.5 yr old bucks. He still gets super excited and a little antsy to shoot something but more comfortable with not...

    Rye...now??

    For what it's worth, we're going to be seeding some rye for cover crop and erosion control on farm land here soon. I'd be surprised if it sprouts now but come spring it'll be the first thing to green up and will provide food/soil protection first thing this spring. As far as seeding it prior...

    Something I learned about EHD….

    I've noticed the only thing to eat them is maggots. They're normally very gross, not touched by any varmint.

    Switchgrass

    Update on our July 4th drilled switch. We didn't have the clean weed free planting like I've seen on here. Our prep was four applications of round up, crop oil, and atrazine. Still foxtail and stubborn weeds pushed through quickly. We drilled right after the spring rains had completed and...

    Pottawattamie County

    We've noticed a decline the past few years. We'd loose a couple to EHD each year but then last year was the mega die off. We found 30 dead, young to old buck and does, everything. We didn't even cover half the farm, we just hit the normal hot spots shed hunting and then stopped looking and...

    Pottawattamie County

    I'm hunting the county north of Pott and it's awful. Worse heard I've ever hunted in my 27 years of deer hunting. There's still deer around but man it's a small fraction of what it used to be.

    Switchgrass

    Yup, we got nervous cause once we planted, then the summer heat and dry period hit. This stuff germinated in less than week with little moisture in the top soil, a splash of rain, and the roots took off and found the subsoil moisture and were set. I'm honestly shocked. I figured this stuff...

    Switchgrass

    Interesting thought process there! Makes sense. Dad finished up mowing today. One of the areas of switch we drilled is an old pasture ridge top and east facing hillside. This is really the money spot of all of them we drilled. Dead center of the farm, it's already a deer sanctuary with just...

    Switchgrass

    We drilled RC Big Rock on July 3rd this year. The prep work ahead of time was we burnt with fire the entire area this spring. Dad sprayed the new growth 4 different times with a mixture of roundup, atrazine, and crop oil. Each time we'd get a great burn down but weeds would come back very...

    Tree Planting

    Getting ready for youth season and had the boys out with me at one of our old tree plantings. Planted these in 2012, mix of oaks but the reds, whites, and chinkapin have done excellent. Unreal the growth they've put on! No acorns ever documented on the whites or reds but I've been seeing...

    Camo clothing

    For me it's not about the pattern of Sitka, it does look cool, but I don't believe it helps hide me any better. Shoot, I wear brown or green pants in the early season with some cheap walmart shirt. But when the conditions get cold/wet then that's when Sitka shines in my opinion. I've never...

    Turkey Poult concerns slightly relieved….

    Only one group of poults here so far, there's three hens and 8 poults from two different clutches with them.
