Hey guys, Does anyone know what is the best residual spray to use in establishing seedling and transplant red and white cedars?

:way: Amen to that! Food plots are great, but pale in comparison to browse and cover!

I took a walk today in the strip plots in search of sheds... No Luck, but the plots look good yet and there is still plenty of food! Soybeans: The Brassicas have been stripped, but there is still plenty available under the snow: Corn/Soybeans... Still looking good: Cereal grain mix...

A few weeks ago I stumbled across a thread and a guy was talking about hinge cutting aspen... I can tell you from first hand experience that hinging that type of trees does not work! These are poplar I believe, but poplar, birch, aspen... same type of tree I have a lot of these trees on my...

Yup Iowa Power Farm show in Des Moines... We set up our booth today and I can't wait walk around tomorrow and dream about food plots!

Anyone going to the Iowa farm show this week?

Paul, What are you thoughts on those Red Cedars planted in these ares? I have a project that we are working on that is very similar to yours... We had considered Red Cedars, but I thought that they were a full sun only tree?

With the first big snow fall on its way and temps in the mid 50s today, I took to the one final item on my "fall list"... "Winter list" starts this weekend! In the outlined section below I have an area that is mainly Reed Canary Grass with scattered Red Osier Dogwood. The house is not mine... My...

We got it in late because our to do list was very long this spring... but we planted some time in May on a tilled surface that used to be reed canary grass. After planting, we waited a week and sprayed with Round up and Atrazine... Some RCG did come back in spots, but we will hit it again with...

Putting some tile in... Now that hunting is pretty much over, I am looking forward to this habitat season's suck adventures!

I was taking a walk today checking out some first year switchgrass, when I came across this guy... I assume that he was shot on a neighboring property and bedded down on the edge of our first year switchgrass before dying. The good news is that the switchgrass looks good :)

I did some research and found out that red top is actually a cool season grass... which makes sense to me now because the mix contains clovers. It must be a cool season CRP mix... Wouldn't be my choice :(

Ok so I have a crp mix that is going to be planted this spring on a property that I help do habitat work on... (habitat work for free hunting = sounds good to me :way:) The owner picked out a mix that he felt was the "tallest cover" when I asked him what seeds were in the mix, he mentioned some...

I haven't really drawn any plans up yet... what would you recommend? How big of an area would be a minimum size? I'm thinking I could do a few odd corners here and there? or would it have to be bigger? (we might have to move this convo to the NWSG thread :way:)

DT, is the reason for only one centralized plot so that it is easier to hunt? If I had strip plots in 3 different areas as opposed to 1 would the only negative be diluted hunting? Or is there other negatives? On the todem pole of a deer herd, the lower deer get pushed around quite a bit... what...

DT have you noticed any ill effects while using higher rates of oust xp on sg?

In 2007 when we purchased our property, we made a list of things that we felt we were missing as far as key habitat elements. The top 2 on the list were evergreen trees for thermal cover and Native Warm Season Grasses for fawing and bedding cover. There were few evergreens and not one NWSG...

2 years ago I started yet another Oak savanna project... This area was an old cow pasture that had been taken over by cool season grasses. When we took over the property I immediatly planted a large food plot here. However, as I grew as a manager and read fourm posts from you all, I quickly...

Looks like 551 people have been visiting Dbltree's corner, the rest are uninformed! :D :way:

The area in the pictures above is a small area that was planted into oaks 6 years ago or so... The oaks are doing fine, but there is never any deer using this area... Why? The answer is simple! There is no cover! How do we fix this quickly and permanantly? Switchgrass... I will not be able to...
