Modify trailer like a lowboy with recessed sides that extend. Look for a Donahue trailer. They can be dropped flat on ground. Then you drive across it and set drill on sideways. Then you remove/tilt up the tongue. Not sure how much of a pain that is with that drill model. Finding the right...

I don't have an answer for you. But 20 years ago when I was doing forestry and wildlife consulting full time..it was base fee plus a fee per acre. Round numbers would be $1800 base fee plus $10/acre for less than 200 acres. If someone balked at that fee structure then I just charged $100 per...

Good looking work.... but why pick up that little shed? Hardly worth toting out of woods. Lol

That is a great and simple method for drills. It also works great with multiple species blends in drills. I use that method with our customers and it works well. When you do several hundred drill calibrations each year.... simple is your friend.

I will admit I have not calibrated a firminator since the first ones were sold back in early 2000's. This method has some assumptions such as seeds per lb. But better Than guessing. But you can use Seed count method for broadcast spreaders. for example:Rye has 18,000 seeds/lb With a 90lbs...

Seed charts are as useful as women's clothing sizes... Seed sizes vary too much from year to year and variety. Not to mention coated vs non coated Seed. Calibration takes 3 minutes.

Congratulations on a great deer. Even better story. Thanks for sharing with all of us.

Cedars will burn very well. A large propane tourch works well. But if you have dead grass or leaves then you gotta deal with that catching fire. That could snowball if not careful. It's pretty simple but could get away from you if not careful. Chainsaw is less problematic and just as effective.

Congratulations Charlie, many more to come.

Congratulations. Great deer anywhere. But extra special from that location.

Amazing deer. Hope he finds his way to you.

Ain't got that many fingers and toes....

If income was not a primary objective and hunting was.... I would consider requiring a cover crop of your choice. Also that no fall disking of waste grain or organic material till after hunting season. A tilled under corn field in November sucks.

Those are some nice looking sunflowers. The deer didn't eat them all. Nice tall variety.

You should be drawn and quartered for even thinking that..... Deer are amazing creatures in what they eat and when they prefer certain plants.

Fire in spring will likely result in the larger stems to resprout and be even worse. Fire in August and September will have better results in controlling woody plants. But you can be alot more precise with a triclopyr application and spot spray. You are wanting to use triclopyr 3A version. It...

It all depends on your objectives. If you want to add organic matter at higher rate and have more biomass on ground to suppress weeds.....crimping helps alot. That is assuming you crimp the right species at the right time. Crimping breaks the stem on mature plants. It is highly likely that...

Have planted about 10 acres each year for doves. Deer will eat them. They don't produce alot of tonnage of forage. Use a JD 7000 Finger planter and it does a good job with size 2 sunflower with a population around 18k. Have drilled them but they produce smaller heads with same population. I...
