The key to public land bucks is to either find a isolated one that doesnt get bumped by other land users or to find the escape point and hang a stand there. There are some dandys out there just got to think things through a bit more to score consistently on them.

Madison County I sent you a PM.

Are you growing these for human consumption or wildlife? Dwarf trees are a poor choice for wildlife. You will not get highly branched bare root trees especially if shipped (unless they are tall spindle grade dwarfs). Primarily because root size and vegetative top growth needs to be balanced out...

I would dig a hole and temporarily plant them. Protect the trunks from mice and rabbits and mulch them. Dig them back up late winter and plant in their permanent homes. If you leave them in the pots unprotected over winter there is a very good chance they will die.

Bobcats are cool. They must be on the move the last few days. I had one sitting 20 yards from me the other night. It was walking down the trail, stopped and sat down. It looked around a bit and then walked down the trail another 10 yards and sat down again. Didnt want to spook it too bad, but I...

Great deer!

Yes it can be done. We send our velvet racks off to a freeze drying company. Make sure you put any velvet racks into a freezer ASAP after you recover your deer. Generally once a buck starts to shed its velvet in less than 24 hrs they are squeaky clean.

Way to get it done! And on public land to boot.

There were not alot of doves around here for the most of the summer. Thought it was pretty odd as we typically have good numbers. About 3 weeks ago they seemed to show up, drove a stretch of dirt road that probably had 500 birds setting on the power lines, fence and road in 1/4 mile stretch. 4...

Your right! I love mine.

I read a research paper that indicated you can actually get a antler to grow anywhere on a deer if the cell tissue from the pedicel area is transplanted. I have seen the same thing on antelope much more frequently. The will have small horns less than 1" long growing on their foreheads and the...

Deer! Well they dont kill it off, but where I am the will by pass alot of crops to eat it this time of year. Pig weed and lambsquarter are higher in protein than alot of things.

Dont apply nitrogen to fruit trees after the 1st of July. By doing so you encourage new growth late in the summer that may fail to harden off and then you get more winter die back. If your fruit trees are currently putting on 8-12" of new growth every year then there is no need to apply much if...

Some people call it southwest injury (usually occurs on the soutwest side of the tree). I just call it frost cracking, happens when the temps are warm enough for sap to flow and the bark absorbs some radiant heat, then cold temps hit and the freezing temps constrict the bark and a crack develops...

Nitrogen is released from legumes when they are terminated, naturally or otherwise. Biggest consideration is how much moisture the ground cover is removing from the soil, and thus stealing from the trees. Ground cover next to trees can also serve to shelter insects and rodents that are best kept...

I have used the Ever Calm and think it does help. I agree with what others have said about deer still being able to smell you, which is true, Scent Lok clothing is complete bunk as well. I know people with pen raised deer that have put it to the test. With Ever Calm I really feel like the number...

Yes there are actually a few Harrow varieties, such as Harrow Delight, Harrow Sweet, Harrow Crisp they all originated out of a Canadian research station. In general they do have good to very good FB resistance.

The amount of nitrogen released by the clover will be minimal. Nitrogen is released from the roots when the plant or in some cases part of the root dies. Another issue arises if you are going to spray insecticide on your trees as the clover will attract pollinators while it is in bloom and...

5-7 days typically for an individual flower. With that being said flower buds typically open over a course of 7-14 days on any individual tree. Not all flower buds open at the same time. On a mature, health, tree there may be 10,000 flowers or more in a given year. Even if only 10% of those...

You will be fine planting the trees into that soil. There are different crabgrass formulations and some labels will say not to apply around trees if they will bear fruit that year.
