I know you've stated you're done frost seeding with this new line of RC, and that things need to be planned differently than with the old varieties. Would you say it's an awful idea to attempt to establish just a narrow travel corridor with Big Rock using the old method of frost seeding in Feb...

I followed Dbltr's page here some years back when I established 7 acres of CIR/Kanlow. It was 5' cover and screening in its 1st growing season. It's still a success, but it's thinned a little in the past few years. Probably a good thing? I've mowed it a few times but never burned or applied...

Is RC Big Rock good enough that you don't feel the need to mix it with a few lbs of say kanlow or liberty?

How long can switch seed stay viable in storage? Can you safely store it in a dry basement for a few years without losing much germ?

Congrats! Nice story and great buck. "Despite my amazing snort wheeze" lmao.

I recall an article around 1990 in an IL Game & Fish of a roughly 310 lb field dressed buck that became our new state record. It looked every part of it. I think it had a regular big 9 point rack. 203ntyp do you have any pics you don't mind sharing? I love pics and stories but I totally...

Hah no kidding. Something not right there. What's he have, 250 20 acre farms?

I agree with Rous's points. The herd was too big. That's when the most big bucks were running around. My county doesn't have any outfitters, so not sure how to comment on that. We've been looking at a few fb pages that are somewhat local to the area and to IL in general and I'm seeing no...

Are they making people more selective?

Maybe it's kinda like all the old muskie records from that era. They were straight up phonies. Hopefully not though! Looks big.

Bred does, geez scam artists. Should've built the fence and be done with it.

Cool story. Nice buck. How much you reckon he would've field dressed in the snow pic?

Fair enough. Obviously if the landowner doesn't provide yields then the auctioneer can't showcase them. It was probably a joint effort. You're correct it's a red flag. Tells me all I need to know.

Realtors will be the reason to artificially inflate a land sale here this wk. It's class A+ dirt, but a well known swamp to the locals. They didn't post any yield history on the website. I emailed to ask them for some yield data. He said no. Field looks great this year since there was no water...

Thanks for the pics.

Absolutely

So a bigger 4 yr old got beaten by a smaller 3 yr old? That's crazy. Can that be a common thing or kinda rare? Are buck fights more about attitude and skill or more often just shear body size and power? I haven't witnessed many throw downs in my life.

Coyotes were $40 probably 25 yrs ago. Guessing over $100 now??

Well damn. Good luck. Sometime if you have any free time and want to, post up a few seconds of that video showing the whole shot. Always learning...

If it's a dead deer I sure wouldn't give him to the coyotes.
