Browning Defender Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

It's a quick method of estimating when your sight judging deer on the hoof from a blind or treestand. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

I burned some CAB points and bought my first cell cam this past weekend. Went with a Browning Defender after running a normal Browning the past couple seasons and been pretty happy with it's performance. Setup of the wireless cam has prompted me to call customer service twice so far. The...

I read an article once about sight scoring typicals. add up the tines and add between 90-100 for frame. G1 - 5x2 G2 - 12x2 G3 - 10x2 G4 - 6x2 G5 - 2 frame - 100 168 gross he might be a little longer but most of the time we "see" more length than reality great buck !!

"While early August is the preferred planting date range...I would definitely plant them later if I was short on moisture and was just in front of a nice rain and be glad about that." My last couple seasons of brassicas have been planted right around 8/1. Germination was solid but growth - not...

Just picked up a low mileage 2015 Honda Rubicon 500 last night. Definitely a little different on the trans vs my 05 Sportsman 700 but I have read some good things about the Honda's dependability as a work ATV (which is my main focus). The wife is under the impression that the Honda is "her...

Copied from an earlier post of mine back when total harvest numbers were posted for 2019. IDNR deer harvest data - 2019 vs 2018 Warren - decrease of 31% - 2019 - 1,957 - 2018 - 2,836 Lucas - decrease of 29% - 2019 - 1,636 - 2018 - 2,294 Clarke - decrease of 34% - 2019 - 1,305 - 2018 - 1,966...

Wow, not much between the ears there.

Good luck with your search and decision. I think a lot of your decision will rest on how much work you ultimately will ask the tractor to do. My farm only has so much area to develop into food plots (a max of 4-5 acres or less) so in my case I did not need a $25,000+ new tractor. I stumbled...

Great thread - I have a spot on my timber farm for a pond that has the wheels in my head turning. I need some clarity on a family-related contingency topic first before I go forward. It's always fun to dream future land developments - good luck and thanks for sharing the photos now and in the...

The buck I called Lefty was a bully. I had him under 60 yards at least 4 times in three different seasons and he managed to always stay just out of range. When he finally did get into range, I was so focused on getting an arrow off I rushed the shot and hit him poorly. Next to no penetration...

I have a single axle 12ft Aluma. I like it but did have to get some welding done on it last summer. I have hauled an ATV, swisher mower or flip disc but can't fit both pieces of equipment.... Wish I had a 14' Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Congrats again on the new dirt buddy - I think you are going to enjoy that slice of so Iowa !! Access sometimes dictates equipment choices (I know from personal experiences) and no doubt in my mind that small plot work can be done with the equipment listing you stated. If you integrate a...

Great content - not involving my 4 kids more in my outdoors passion is one of my biggest regrets. Various circumstances dictated their lack of involvement, including my selfishness at certain times in the past. They are all adults now and driven to pursue their own paths and passions in life...

FYI - sounds like the US 10yr notes hit an all-time low today - 1.31%. the US 10 yr note moves many loan/mortgage rates so now is probably a great time to lock in finance costs.

Boyd is spot on - deer populations are not anywhere close on a statewide basis to 10 yrs ago...I hunt two different regions of the state on a regular basis and neither region is close to 2007-2009 levels. The recent EHD region where my farm is located took a very hard hit this fall. My...

Just got a rate reduction from FCS. 15 yr loan at 4.46% gross, net of 3.46% after the current FCS rate rebate of 1%. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

some BIG public tracts in Lucas (multiple Whitebreast units, upper Rathbun, etc) would equate to a lot less EHD kill reporting in Lucas county. Warren is much more geared to private land ownership overall for the county.

I do not have much honeysuckle on my farm but am starting to notice it some in a few areas. What is the options for removal. Hack and spray larger ones and dig out if small enough. I saw a you tube video about removing BHS using a Mattock and it looked pretty slick if done in the spring when...
