I try to keep in touch with land prices in my general area, I'd say within 1 County in any direction of where I live and some of the land prices I see are just puzzling. Example there's a tract that's square 1 county over and there is no cleared area just all river bottom. And people are...

I'm going to get my Seedlings ordered for my Replant in my low lying river bottom. I am planning on replanting 50 Swamp White Oaks. 25 in each area that's been cut pretty hard on the farm. And I'm thinking of also including Red Ossier Dogwood. I hear it can grow most places. What are your...

With my logging project done, and the project cleaned up, I've been evaluating my woods and debating if I should try to get rid of these absolute ginormous trees, they are HUGE. They have no log value as most are hollow in the middle. I have a feeling with them still alive there will be big...

I estimate that they've cut down 150-175 mature soft maples. I am very satisfied with their work and their carefulness when their working. Very cautious, but have the get it done attitude. Took roughly 4ish total days. Everything's on piles now and ready to get hauled. Also appreciated them...

Along with the logging project and replanting some swamp white oaks in areas of the cut. I have a 5 acre area on the west side of my bottom ground that is currently enrolled in CRP. It's kind of a buffer strip between the Ag fields and the timber. Currently the CRP isn't doing me much good...

So far it's looks likes a guys been pretty successful in this area of the farm. The regen is going to be pretty awesome I have a feeling. Any suggestions on trees I could plant back? Thinking Swamp White Oak as an option. I need something that will survive low ground, and can have water on...

My first impression is, Wow. The woods sure looks empty in areas when you take a bunch of giant old maples out. The one area they cut they doubled the bedding area size of an already existing bedding area that I already did some cutting on my own. It's very clear I should have let these guys do...

After taking my wife shed hunting,(she had some luck shed hunting, refer to photo below) my wife thinks she wouldn't mind trying to go deer hunting. I want to make it as comfortable and pleasant as possible. So it's going to be heated blind, heated socks, and hopefully a shot from 100 or less...

Tillable land prices here have definitely come off the highs, I'd say 10% at least depending on the piece, now the neighbor puts a land for sale sign on a 194acres 175 tillable. It doesn't border me but it's pretty close to home..... He's only asking about 30% more than a recent land auction...

I priced around between loggers a year ago. But I've heard murmurs of mills being short on logs. So has anyone gotten any prices on Silver Maples per 1000 board feet? If so what are you seeing for prices. I got a Grade A Grade B and Pallet Wood and a Long Haul Pallet wood price. I have...

Has anyone ever seen a deer with no ears? It just looks like the hairs of its ears are hanging out and that's it. Anyone know what could cause it? Was with another fawn that looked totally normal. Fawns were together, but no mother.

Was out swapping some batteries on a food plot, and looking around the brassicas a little bit, and found this. First one of the year. Looking back on the cam, looks like I have the other side to look for......

To all the deer that have survived the deer season in my county, we have no extra tags available. Thank God. Don't have many antlerless tags to start with. Been watching my late Season standing food sources, and my hopes are high for next year. LOTTA of potential still out there. Even after a...

Had some decent bucks to hunt this year, but nothing that made me say Wow. So decided to dedicate the rest of my gun season to hunting an ugly cull buck. For sure the ugliest buck I'd ever shot, he has the age, the body. He just didn't have the genetics. He had the same identical rack last...

I've had an opportunity to shoot this buck, but I elected to pass. Not sure how old he is. I don't think think he ll ever score high. He just keeps getting heavier and wider. The 2 pics are 1 year apart. Pic in the woods is last year. In the food is this year. He busts his rack up every...

Did some deer pushes on Saturday with disappointing results. So took my sister's boyfriend hunting on my sanctuary farm. Sat for 3 hours, when the deer started to pour out into the beans. With this young 2 year old 8 pointer. At first I wasn't going to let him shoot him, cause I really don't...

I have good late Season food sources on my farm. Accessing the spots isn't an issue getting in. But getting out is a real problem. There can be 30-40+ deer on the food after it gets dark. What do you guys find is the best way to get out so the deer do not associate my blinds with people and...

3.75 cash corn 9.50 cash beans 7-8% interest rates 17,500/acre land auction results........ and it needs 1100/acre worth of work to make the farm good, Tile etc etc etc. Something is currently broken. I'm not sure what it is, But Im currently convinced land prices do not have a thing to do with...

A friend of mine is a salesman that works at a John Deere dealership. Was chatting with him and he said new equipment sales have come to a screeching halt, used machinery has slowed down a lot. Even parts have slowed down. Commodity markets have been on the slide that is no secret, with interest...
