We were 13-15’ spacing Dont know on the rootstock

Amish built in northern Michigan. Mostly cedar. We like them. Time will tell but for $700 they’re hard to beat. Can’t hardly buy the lumber much less the time to build one for that. The windows from this particular seller we bought it from are too narrow for bowhunters though, so we are going...

Haven’t ever had crabapple before. Do the deer eat the small berries on this type of species? I’m told they are a great pollinator so that was main reason I planted them but I’m interested to see how the deer prefer them or not.

Hope so. Guess time will tell when I see how many make it. Hoping that over the next 90 days of dormancy that the air pockets in the holes/soil will settle with the rain & snow over that time.

Well, we got a ton done the last two days before the really cold air hit. Headed back home now to beat the snow coming towards w central IL. Got 17 trees put in the ground (skid steer w auger). 7 Bartlett pear, 4 Arkansas black apples, 3 red fugi apples, and 3 red jewel crabapple. Staked and...

Yea Thursday is high of 34 and Friday is 22 so with the skid steer and auger I’m hopeful we can get most of them in the ground and caged on Thursday but maybe that’s wishful thinking. It’s been really warm for the last couple weeks. Just one of the many disadvantages to being 5 hours away from...

Looks great! Approx how many feet of fence does each tree have for the cage do you know? Looks like around 5’ diameter cage?

Trying to post a pic of the bigger trees the guy has and it’s saying the file is too large. Probably 10 years ago now I had Don Higgins out to my farm to plant some pines and apple trees. He said provided u don’t have a bunch of frost that now is the best time to plant them while they are dormant. ‍

The small ones (5’ anpprox) are in pots yes. I am also going to a big nursery Thursday morning and the owner there has crababpple and apple trees that he says are 36” root ball/older bigger trees that I’m going to barter from him. But again, don’t have much/any knowledge of what I’m doing...

Rookie fruit tree planter here so go easy on me haha…. Headed down to the farm this weekend (west central IL) and among other projects was planning to put around 10 fruit trees in the ground. Have skid steer and auger. Most of the trees are small diameter potted trees, maybe 5-6’ tall. Planning...

Hard to square increased efficiency with a significant reduction in overall harvest though. I can see what you are saying when it comes to the biggest/oldest bucks but when it comes to the overall herd it doesn’t make sense that the harvest is down and not steady or up with the increased...

Appreciate it. Thats what I’m doing so not sure. Don’t get great sunlight where I have them so guessing that’s probably the deal

Can u describe your process from opening the solar panel out of the box to how you mount them for me possibly? I’m just not getting anything close to that with mine

Few guys on here talking about how long their cuddebacks are lasting w the solar panel…..I have not had that kind of luck. Wonder what I’m doing wrong? Do you guys do anything to the solar panel when u take it out of the box or do u just hook it up to the camera and roll? I’ve put new D...

So I’ve tried 3 cuddelinks as kind of a test to see if I want to go all in on them and I must be doing something wrong bc I have the D batteries in them and the 3600 solar panel and I’m getting about 4-5 months before everything is dead. Maybe I just don’t have a couple of them in a full sun spot?

Ok gotcha. Thought you were recommending the Spartans? Is that just for when you’re not running multiple on a farm or something?

Out of curiosity for those that have 6-15 cams on one property, is the cuddle link system the way to go? Seems like it would be based on monthly plan cost. I have an assortment of probably 12 cameras (not all cell) on my home farm and I’m considering whether I should just switch to cuddle link...
