I think walk-in programs are good. They offer some type of liability protection . It’s suited more for pheasant/duck hunting… or large chunks out west ? If a guy has a 160 acre block of CRP in Iowa and wants to offer public walk in—I’m all for it ! As an avid hunter I’d pass on CRP if public...

No that’s not what I said. If I have to let everyone hunt on my land it defeats the purpose! That’s public land ? I could just hunt public … I own land for several reasons, letting everyone on it is not on the list . Huge liability risks, wrecks the hunting. I mean it’s CRP way off the road...

That’s been brought up many times. You’ll get a few landowners to sign up for that? But there’s issues of course … I personally would not. I think I get $5000 in CRP right now, and I’m gonna let everyone hunt my farm ?? If the CRP is a 1/2 mile off the road, how would they get to it ...

I usually do, or I put weed mat over the seedlings. In most cases.

In Minnesota the DNR did an actual study on why there were so few squirrels on public land near the Minneapolis/St. Paul areas! Hmm, I think the average hunter can put two & two together. The Hmong hit the public woods in droves ! No study was needed ! The Minnesota & Michigan DNR are in a...

Chinkapin oak is one that I’ll monitor to see how well it does. It would be a nice mix for my farm .

That sounds like a hunt I’d avoid…paying extra to hunt public land in Oklahoma!

CRP field windbreak went in on Tuesday at my Iowa farm . No machines just hand planting … 85 trees ! All by myself ! I hope it will become a travel corridor between two blocks of timber . It is already a narrow spot —but this should enhance it. This location is back in off the road a mile …...

Minnesota is not the best big buck state, but I do think it’s better than Michigan!

I will be planting the following (5) apple trees this week in Iowa … Chestnut Crab Big Dog Apple Hawkeye Apple Arkansas Black Apple Dolgo Crab Courtesy of Chris Pool (Turkey Creek Trees) should be a good combo…

I’m just going to make 15-18 plantable sticks out of what I have . I’ve got so much dogwood at my farm , it’s endless. This is going to be an experiment on Napier soils in Iowa ? See how it goes ? Dogwood (pic) in Minnesota.

Need to trim em a bit .. going in next Tuesday!
