Nice! Can't wait to start doing some that here. The fish should be running up the river anytime now. Especially with the recently warmup we've had.

Re: Chinkapin Oaks: I bought mine from Sheffields. http://www.sheffields.com/ I can't say I know a lot about them. I read a few online reviews which seemed to be good. I would be interested to see how they're stored as well. dbltree.. I might have to take you up on that. There aren't any...

Re: Chinkapin Oaks: I got Bur, White and Sawtooth. It's funny you mentioned the white oaks sprouting, because they were the main ones that were sprouting. A few of the Sawtooths were just starting to peek out but not nearly as much as the whites. I hoping to have more success with the...

Re: Chinkapin Oaks: I just had a box full of seeds/acorns arrive yesterday. I decided to try another avenue this year and plant with seed. I ordered a few pounds of acorns from a variety of oaks, some chesnuts, apple and pine seeds. Most of the germination rates are supposed to be above 90%...

I just checked out http://www.lovelaceseeds.com/ Looks like a great place. I'll be ordering a variety of seeds soon. Thanks for posting the link.

You're right, the deer numbers are unheard of. You can drive through the park and see deer at almost anytime of the day. At sunset, they're everywhere, like it was a zoo. The park is surrounded by the subarbs and cause plenty of wrecks. Some thinning would definately be good, IMO. I used to...

Wow.. a pretty extreme bill. Sure hope IL Residents can fight against it.

I plan on planting several hundred cottonwood cuttings this Spring, to provide some quick & cheap cover in certain areas. Last year I did some indoor tests with 50 or so Cottonwood & Willow cuttings of various sizes to test the root growth in plain water. I did get root growth from 80%-90% of...

Here's the Story! http://www.prairiestateoutdoors.com/index.php?/pso/article/grosboll_buck/

Definately, very interesting. I'd love to see what my 1918 farmsted looked like at only 15 years old! Too bad there aren't aerials for this area of KS.

We have a lot of milo fields around here, and i'd have to say it's my favorite crop to deer hunt on. When it's mature and still green, the bucks love to bed it in. The bucks were like clockwork in it this past September. About 30 minutes before dark, they'd stand up (usually 2-8 bucks) and start...

I had some for a couple years. They were kind of a pain, and I ended up letting them die. One big problem I had was keeping them in. At 1st I had an aquarium which wasn't big enough. So I got a big rubber tote and made a top out of plywood that I buggied to the tote with was tight. Then I...

Great advice... Large Cedar stands are probably my favorite area's to hunt. I would also recommend selecting tree's to take out, rather than clear cutting it all. Cut a few trails, make a few small clear cut's... just whatever it takes to allow the deer to get in an utilize the area. Then...

I send all of my capes & furs to Advantage Furdressers in Timball Texas. Very reasonable prices, quick turnaround and good work.

Awesome Buck! Congrats!

I walked around the woods over the weekend and checked all of the tree plantings. Most of them seem to be doing fine except that something has dug up all of my crabapple trees and ate the roots. I planted about a dozen 3-4 ft crabapples trees, and every one of them was dug up with the roots...

We just got back from Canada over the weekend, visiting & hunting with our good friends Dan & Jill Schafer. My wife Casi & I have had this trip planned now for close to a year & we definitely had a fantastic time. Dan & Jill were a blast to hang out with & are just a great couple. If you’ve...

Very Cool! Congrats to your son!!

Not to change the subject too much... But I plan on picking up acorns here real soon, as many of the oaks are loaded with them this year. What is the best way to distinguish the difference between a Bur & White Oak? I understand they're both in the white oak family, and have a lot's of...

That's a shame... one heck of a buck! I wish you the best in finding it.
