So I will hopefully soon be one of the individuals that will be moving to Iowa so I can chase mature bucks. Being from Wisconsin and having had the opportunities to hunt the best areas of the state (Dane/Buffalo/Trempeleau counties and many others) I have hunted in great areas, bad areas, over...

Hey Everyone, My wife and I are in the process of hopefully within the next year to find and home w/ acreage and permanantly move to Iowa. Talking with a lender, land broker, etc. Recently, I was talking with my relator who will be selling my current home (he sold me this home and over the...

Hey Skip, what is the rule of thumb that you use when planting them in their final planting spot? 1 foot tall, 2 feet tall,etc.

Well today I started transplanting my better trees to outside while continuing to keep my smaller ones inside to nurse more. I can’t believe how much I really enjoy doing this. Crazy how it all starts from a little acorn too. Once these get a bit bigger, I am going to move them to their final...

As we speak, wife and I are repairing rooms, throwing out/selling stuff we don’t need, etc to make our house ready to go to hit the market as soon as we find something. Tomorrow I am also talking to a local Iowa bank in the area I am looking to buy in order to get a loan pre-approved. Just...

Trust me Skip, there are days when I wish I was growing and tending to my veneer walnut trees instead of battling in the market....way less stressful....lol

Here is a typical morning for me….day trade and listen to podcasts about land buying, selling, habitat management, tree planting, etc. My wife tells me I have issues…..lol

Hmmmm....that is something I may have to try next year. I was told to get the cones which I like because I don't use a ton of material in the beginning stages and it doesn't take up much room. Next year I would LOVE to give chinese chestnuts a try. You gotta great setup!!!!

First time growing trees from acorns. Never thought I would get so excited growing trees….lol. Getting ready to transplant the bigger ones to pot to get a bit bigger before I plant them. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions are more than welcome.

TBH, I have created a few things, but they are for my needs. Yes it may be a product everyone in the world would want, but I am at a point in my life where I just don't want to deal with all of the headaches that would come with creating a product, getting patents, etc. I just want to live the...

LOL....We did teach in the public sector, but were hated for our views. They kept asking us to be a part of the teachers' union. I asked them to show me where every penny goes to my union dues and if any of my dues go to the union presidents' 250k salary who does absolutely nothing, to go...

I am with Muddy....would love to be involved in some of these to learn the ropes!!!

Hey Everyone, Thanks so much for the advice. All the advice you gave me I 100% agree with and maybe I just needed to hear it from others. Update: I spoke to my realtor (a friend of mine and I taught all of his kids…lol). and told him my plans. He was excited, told me the real estate market...

Definitely a great listen...as Skip stated, you can fast forward roughly 15 to get to the good stuff. They are explaining what Skip is telling us all daily of how these bills are made, who is creating them, and how we really need to stick together and keep bugging these guys if these bills are...

OMG!!!! Well at least you didn't lose an entire blind in the process as well. You can't be an expert in EVERYTHING!!!! lol

Skip, No worries on the glitches...they are going to happen especially in technology. Rome was built in a day!!! Just keep your tech guys grinding and eventually this will be the best site out there....wait....it already is with all the knowledge and insight that yourself and the members...

Just listened to the most recent podcast that had Skip on there discussing how he would tackle a 50 acre parcel that was just bought. What he would do Year 1, Year 2, etc. Fantastic info Skip. I took notes...lol. Keep doing these!!!!!
