That year was rough!!! I found 12 dead on the 130 acre farm that I hunt.

He’s very food motivated…much like a dog.

I believe it’s a fox snake

Looks like Curtis will be pruning today at work! Lol

Heading down to the farm tomorrow to plant our last acre of food plot, a mix of rye, oats, clover, radish, and winter pea. After that’s done, we’re putting up some mock rub/scrape trees.

Cereal rye…can’t go wrong

23. Matthewfox_45 Don’t expect much other than a doe or 2 from me after last years dream season.

I’m an equal opportunity poster on social media. Doe or buck, it doesn’t matter to me. I’m a proud hunter and I like to share my kills….most of which are does.

Had waterhemp and marestail bad at the farm. It was taller then I’d like when we sprayed it…2 pints per acre of 2, 4-D smoked it.

Love your new profile pic

How much bait do you put in them Skip? I catch plenty in z traps and never fill up to the trigger

In my experience seeding yard grass at work, I’d give it a couple weeks. That’s purely anecdotal evidence so take it for what it’s worth. I’ve also seeded brassicas a week after spraying and done fine, but also had plenty of rain. Sorry I don’t have a better answer.

If Curtis is now a woman, and I think he’s cute, am I straight?

Found a dead raccoon on campus when I was a tree trimmer. It was winter time, I thought it would be a “fun” experiment to see what happens when ran through the chipper. All it did was “rattle around” between the feed wheels and the drum. Really gave me the chance to savor the flavor. Took more...

I believe there’s 3 species of poisonous snakes here, timber rattler, massasagua, and prairie rattler. The second two are only found in a couple of specific spots, so the odds of encountering them are pretty remote.

I’m almost 100% sure that neither are found in Iowa. Northern water snakes are commonly confused as water moccasins.

A lot of guys I know don’t use dog proofs when the ground is frozen hard. If the trap doesn’t come out of the ground, you lose all swiveling in the trap and chains and will have wring outs.

The disk helps stabilize the trap I believe.

There’s a pretty good Meateater podcast about this very topic. Pretty informative

I did some research a while back into that duck hunting situation that Skip shared. I’m pretty sure those kids still ended up getting charged with trespassing. Or something similar. The other dude was totally in the wrong for sure. But if I remember correctly, the landowner told them not to hunt...
