I second running the flash on medium output on Reconyx cams. I haven't noticed negative reactions to Reconyx but have with Spartans when we first started using them. Seems better the last couple years. No idea why.

How is the overall population directly around you? EHD? How long have owned it and has it always been that way? Do you own next to Ranger, the droughmaster, haha? Sounds like the population in your area is low and they move into your cover when it gets cold because you have food and good...

My farms are also in Mercer, one since 2005. I agree with the quality of mature bucks being down. I noticed a drop off around 2018-2019. Increased pressure is my diagnosis as well: crossbows, more guys being selective but not selective enough, EHD, CWD sharpshooting, guys from down south...

Hideous rack and we also confirmed this guy was an a-hole. He was always willing to battle and was all over our farm so I gunned him down. He looked even worse after breaking off what he had. I sent his teeth in and he was aged at either 3 or 4, they were not certain. Either way I didn't...

I agree. Fawn survival on land I owned in Wisconsin was much higher vs extreme Northern MO where I own now. Almost every doe in Wisconsin had at least one fawn. Totally different in MO. This year seems better but there are always plenty of does without fawns. There were no coyotes on our...

If it happens I hope they grandfather in landowners.

The only 2 cell cams I've used are Reconyx and Spartan Go Cams so my experience is limited. 1. Spartan Go Cam: I set the trigger interval at 0 seconds and it's set to take 3 pics so there should not be a rest between trigger events. I rarely get more than one trigger event on a specific...

How dare you! Haha….

I would ask if MO accepts federal funds to "fight" CWD and if so how many dollars. If they accept funds, I don't see them implementing any steps to improve age structure.

I'm 100% certain Spartan Go Cams spook deer in SOME cam locations. I have not noticed an issue with the Reconyx cell cams we now use.

Excellent point on segmentation, take a look at Buffalo County on Onx. That is the future.

I’m with Rous14 and firmly in the camp of more bucks = more chances that the “right” bucks get to older age class. Only 3 out of 10 bucks have the genetics to get Uge, and 99% of guys will kill them at 3 years old. I’d have killed them, and did, 10 years ago. Everyone is at a different point in...

How much lower have you seen rec ground sell for in your area?

I laughed when you said you wouldn't ever hunt Missouri. I'm still trying to convince my wife to move to Iowa.......

Have you had success establishing a clover plot when planted with brassicas?

Trycolpyr in late July/August is what my private land biologist suggested. CRP maintenance is much more involved than I initialy thought. We have sercia we need to deal with too.

What did you spray them with? I have to battle some back too.

I'm 5 hours from my farm so timing when the crop is ready has been tricky. The rye is good to go on Memorial Weekend some years but other years, like this year, it's not ready. The other reason is I'm converting more of my plots to clover and chicory. Between the distance and constant...

It weighed 1050 lbs with the front adapter plate. Adding water adds about 75 lbs per foot.

Selling my 4 ft crimper made by I&J for Drop Tine Seed Company. Like new, less than 10 acres on it. It comes with a 3 point hitch and a brand new, still on the pallet frame to pull it behind an UTV. The frame is red. I ran it on my front end loader with an adapter plate so you will need to...
