Busy doing the podcast!

Had a quad with 25 gal sprayer w/ gun this spring. Worked like a charm. Could snipe runaway flames from 10yds away. Was actually a ton of fun and super effective!

Is that an access trail to a stand? When do you clear it? I've always loved the idea, but been gun shy about the middle of season intrusion needed to actually do it.

I have done similar. This year's deer brand was RWW. I planted RWW gen 2 RR in the same field as enlist ag beans I've used for years. 3 fields, 2 different properties. All side by side. The RWW are taller and a prettier yellow. They LOOK tasty, but have witnessed zero favorability by the...

I can't tell if you're being funny or not with the bowling ball talk. So you're saying the SEED bean you're planting needs to be larger than average? and it will inherently produce pods with larger beans in it? Does the larger bean have better flavor? What's the attraction? Never heard...

I've been chewing on the same thing recently! Been planting my beans on 30"s for years and will have a drill for the first time this spring. Wondering if I should do 7.5 or 15 in the water hemp fields? For pre I have been using Outlook for a few years and it works great on pigweed and water...

Who did the plan?

I can't speak to his place - but have been able to read through a few plans done for different guys in my area.

and send the sharpshooters to Guantanamo

Is browse on the pumpkin plant itself in the summer ever an issue?

I don't know how you care to implement it, but I've recently ran into fixing broken field tiles being point of tension for one of my fields. I just went and did it myself before it got out of control, but a couple years of neglecting broken ones can really create a mess of your place.

If the general public could see plans from the higgins crew, it'd be shocking. Surprised they haven't started their own fencing supply company by now.

Varies across the neighborhoods, but I'm seeing nearly 2/3 shed out already it seems! Still too early to go look for me. Hate to bump them out while times are tough

40 yards max, and no there was never any major trail or movement through there, just a few stragglers that would get down wind at the end of the night. They come from the timber to the SW/S, feed through naturally, and on to the wide open cut fields after dark. I am simply just wanting to...

Respect your stance and tend to agree, just not really applicable in this case. I'm trying get them to stay away from me! I do like your draining the pond analogy though!

First timer here: This past spring '24 I encountered a situation where to discourage deer getting downwind of a permanent field blind, I ran a 75 yd strip of fencing across a section of my open field. Used 6ft T posts and woven wire fence. The top was around 5.5ft high, and left a ~10in gap...

Sounds like you need to come up with a different way to access, or abandon the plot/stand all together. Not sure on your farm size/layout, but eradicating their choice bedding seems counterproductive. Typically much easier to move the food than move the bedding.

Cut the rest of the stuff like locust & honeysuckle. Don't cut or hinge the hedge/Osage trees. They're old, gnarly, and make for some of the best big buck thickets in the midwest. Kill the Honeysuckle & locust, and replace them with single oaks and cedars. That mixed with your hedge trees...

Interesting seeing the fandom of box elder. Where I grew up they were pretty much the only "tree" besides mulberry and hedge that grows along ditches and in little thickets. Always considered them junk before knowing what they were even called. That said, have always noticed that they re...
