One of our larger owls. Great Horned?

I'd guess if disease and laws don't kill the demand, you'll be spot on. Of course, then you have the economics that will come into play. The national debt scares the bejesus out of me...124% of the GDP. Definitely won't get there in a straight line...or will it? :D

So this is in Timber reserve and they are paying you to do the work?

Muddyrem...I've always wondered if, since it overwinters in cattle, if you could have back to back or even three years in a row but maybe stepping down in severity as time goes on? Have you ever found one or two per year after your initial outbreak?

It seems like anything connected to money is running white hot these days...you wouldn't think it would take much of a catalyst to upset the whole apple cart.

I was thinking possibly, at least a few that disappeared, may return. That would be a bonus for sure! That disease is about as unpredictable as the Whitetail itself. Good luck to you.

Frustrating situation for sure. I wonder what the approximate recovery time on a one time EHD episode is? 3-4 years?

I AGREE 100%. I agree with food plotting, I agree with grain plots and hunting on and around them. Totally agree with feeding WHENEVER you want. It's for the deer. As long as you are done hunting that property for the season. That is where we differ. It's against the law to poach and it's...

Baiting IS illegal during the season. Does poaching end on January 10th and start September 1? Do poachers adhere to season dates? If I were a poacher I'd start before and after the season. Less ears and eyes on you. You're the OP asking about feeders...do we need to run a background check on...

This is how we have high power hunting knocking on the door...think about it. Don't encourage the first step!

Bait/feeding throws off the vibe that they are one in the same...they are not. I really hate going against you guys on this...do you really think a poacher will change his ways because of a no feeding law? Did a gun ban stop the killing in Chicago??

Feeding is already legal during season if you're not hunting the property...why wouldn't you doubt that they would reverse that? Whether anyone wants to admit it, food plotting is a form of baiting, not as pointed but baiting for sure! I get what everyone is saying and in the perfect world i'd...

A huge can of worms that could also include food plots and could actually create more grey areas. What pulls and holds deer more than a unpicked corn plot, previously fenced in waiting for late season? How unfair is that? If a guy is feeding and not hunting the property with the pointed pile of...

This would be like saying, keeping a gun next to your bed to protect your family is a stepping stone to robbing banks.

Sounds like it's chainsaw time...thanks guys!

I have a mainly Hickory woodlot and would like to get some assorted Oaks going throughout. I was wondering the best way to go about this would be. I was curious the size of free space that would be needed for a young tree to thrive or maybe planting along the edge only would be a better bet...

I would lay your main foundation then come back and fill your losses with a more variety as Sawtooth, English, Pin, Burr or whatever trips your trigger.

Or incomes catch up with inflation...which creates more inflation. That's how it's designed, printing press vs. gold standard. If you're buying REC ground to make real money, you're kinda pissing in the wind or you have to be very selective. And if you had a Fed target of 2% per year, your...

Joshua...Thank you for hanging with this thread!! IMO the 1300 is such an anomaly it's not even worth talking about. I'm going to split one of your previous posts in two because it really is two thoughts. I think what might be happening is not only a lack of inventory but a lack of premium...

I guess I tend to agree but you won't know till it plays itself out.
