We bought our farm in CRP, then transitioned to row crop when the contract expired. I tried farming using vacation and holidays from my day job. Left little time to hunt so opted to custom hire the farm work done. I found that the planting and harvest windows were not friendly to hunting for...

So you are hunting fall turkey season and skipping deer??;)

After turkey hunting Saturday, I happened to spot this two year old shed. It was in a place where I think I should have found it by now. With the chew marks on it, I think the squirrels moved it.

Fast growing and short lived, too.

Congrats Dakota!

Second hunt of the year couldn't have gone much better (well, maybe). Carrying all the gear in like a pack mule, the toms were gobbling from the roost to the west. I decided to change where I had planned to set up. I got the blind up and decoys out, was setting down at 6:23 am, with them...

Congrats Darrin. Funny how the switch flips sometimes.

There are rooting hormones that you can dip the cut end in before stabbing it into the ground. Might be an unnecessary expense. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Teaser. Quick morning/season overall. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Role of genetics and nutrition MSU link I hear lots of people planting fall cool season plots or fencing deer out of food plots so that there is something to hunt over. Maybe let them eat when they are growing that rack? Copy/paste from above link: Habitat Management In addition to...

I fight hackberry, wild cherry, black locust and mulberry as invasives all the time, so maybe one of those might be an option. Hackberry and mulberry are my preferred if I had to pick something to leave/plant. Wildlife really like eating mulberries according to my cameras, especially raccoons :(

Congrats! With the hunting and cooking, sounds like you got them hooked for life.

No pictures, yet. ;) Though should have taken some yesterday. It was opening morning, had two days off work. I could hear the wind howl but it's opening day, Man! Can't skip it. Terrible night sleep Sunday night into Monday morning. Finally just gave up and got up at 4 am. You'd think...

The radio station I listen to ran an ad lately where they warn of problems using hard well water for spraying herbicides. Short 30 sec ad so it doesn't go too deep into it. That wouldn't explain one tank being fine and the second a train wreck though. Don't think farmers have many options on...

Congrats Curtis!

Congrats! Wind isn't too friendly out there!

Nice! Look's like a windy opener tomorrow. Hope not to chase 300 yards!

This is really aimed at farmers, but might be some information to be gleaned from it: Click here for cover crops

It was getting a good start in year three when it was burned. IF it got burned every other year since then, I think it would be really thick.

Maybe 10 years ago I bought some switch seed from Welter’s and frosted seeded it into established brome, no spray or burn that year. Burned in maybe year three, not since. Coming in fairly nice for the minimal effort. Working on clearing olive that had gotten out of hand. Burning would help with...
