Here ya go!!!!

I don’t find one thing u said disagreeable in any way. And I have my opinions ;). This is “man using his mind to come up with simple ideas that work!” Started with Indians using cover scents & using furs or brush as camo, etc Same stuff. & I don’t have an issue with “technology” in most...

Depends what type of thistle & how bad. Gly will kill the “big ones”. Canadians will come back almost everytime. What thistles really need is something else to fill the space. Can’t be wide open dead patches. A corn or bean rotation is also ideal. Ya- triclopyr has residual. It’s for...

Someone has to be the pretty face & someone has to do the work. Each has their role & I applaud that team of slab slayers!!!

Thistles in grass…. I think I’ve run about everything known to man now…. 2,4-d is in every mix. If bull or musk i might use triclopyr or duracor. If Canadian…. I usually throw more at it…. 2,4-d, “opensight” (cocktail with 2 things) & either triclopyr or duracor or both if I’m feeling “angry”...

Elk hunters brutal - what u mean? You get over the counter bear tags? Looks like some nice ones!! Not that I really know :)

Ha!!! I have one too. :). I end up shooting all my deer at 15-20 yards with a bow anyways but it’s nice to have good guns, etc. Im certain we on same page…. I am all for variety of guns & some technologies …. But if it became “wide spread & common” that dudes were shooting bucks at a half...

Ya, I’d say 2 weeks in about right. In spring - generally covers most cases. Mid summer- could be different dynamics. U start getting past 2 weeks, I’d be concerned. Another way around this- few will do this…. Get polymer coated urea (can treat it yourself if someone wanted to spray it...

I have to admit- I can see their point of view. As we get so effective at KILLING…. Is there a point that it is just KILLING? I don’t know how one can regulate the range but I understand the concern. You make any means, technology or possibility doable to “kill things” - right, wrong or...

If they flowered- be nice to cut the flowers off & bag & dump em. Yes- 2,4-d for sure. High rate & check back if new flush of em later. Repeat if necessary. When u say “large” are u meaning they are the large thistle- as in musk or bull? Musk or bull have the huge flower and large plant -...

See if I can add anything I haven’t said before ;). My family is extremely wealthy & I inherited billions at 15 years old. :) My fam was poor but my grandpa ran a small biz & taught me the most about $. His gifts to me growing up were savings bonds. He was the one that got me to put my lawn...

I’ve seen maybe 10 bears in my life. You have shot 60!!!! Holy cow!! Think the bear was just curious? Ya, I’d be packing some heat. I still bet it’s safer to spend time around mother & cubs than be in the ghettos of our most liberal cities after dark ;)

Exactly what I thought of!!!!^^^^. Pheasants. Some introductions are clearly fine & the ecosystem can support or thrive off of them. Some are a detriment. Most introductions are not on purpose - everything from Asian carp, chestnut blight, covid, poison ivy, zebra mussels, bush honey...

Make sure super reputable guy doing it!!! I’m not gonna say it’s common but it sure isn’t uncommon…. 5 semi loads of grain leave your farm… u get check for 4 of them. 1 “vanishes”. Happens a lot. So- watch it close. If crops planted on time with ambitious & trustworthy guys - critical...

How bad is leak and do u need an excavator/dozer? I know some guys use bentonite for leaks & some positive feedback there. Dunno if it’s applicable in your case but worth checking into.

That’s an incredible read and awesome to hear these unique stories!!!! Keep em coming!!!

Here’s few ideas that did help me in beginning….. ask if folks will do land contract. Lotta times u could get in with infinite flexibility & ideas & probably less $ down. If find older folks where no kids- sometimes they give discount if u buy and they stay there for their remaining days...

I want to help folks do it that want to do it and don’t see a path or need help. Love it. I got told “no way u can do it” so many times growing up poor- it fired me up. I heard this one 30 years ago …. “If you don’t grow up in a farm or inheritant one- no way the average guy can get into...

Oh my!!!!!! When my fillets coming ?!??! ;)

“GREAT”…. 1) a job u enjoy or have passion/interest in 2) a wife that’s not insane. 3) owning any amount of hunting land 4) living in iowa & being able to keep this state GREAT. 5) Trump being Prez. 6) consistently getting on older bucks for your area. There’s six random examples of...
