I've got 4 points this year for Elk in Wyoming and 3 for mule deer. I think next year I'll be applying. Lots of research to do but after doing caribou in Alaska last August I think I'm all geared out.

Definitely talk to your local game warden/conservation officer. It sounds like they're abusing that regulation. If it's a consistent thing they're just allowing them to run wherever they want and hunt any ground. Document it and take pictures. Put up no trespassing signs. This has been a...

DNR likes to shoot them :) No way they'd allow a herd to get established with farmers in my opinion.

I see everything using blankets or insulation on their hives during winter? I left my hives with the small gap in the spacer open and didn't wrap them in anything. Will they be ok or do you need to wrap hives for winter?

Those look really nice. I'd like to get a couple years of growth on mine before I move them out to a permanent location. My biggest concern is if the roots would be able to withstand winter temps being above ground in a raised bed or pots. Most of the trees I've gotten bare root seem to be at...

Was thinking of trying my hand at grafting next spring. Seems if you buy rootstock in bulk you can get MM-111 for around $1.50 a pop if you're doing 100 or more. I've got the grafting tool, tape, wax etc but do we run into any problems with overwintering them? I've got a couple hundred 3...

We could definitely use some water down here in Winterset. The 2nd year trees are really growing fast. Having soaked the new trees for around 10 hours this year I feel it really made a big difference with them getting established. Watering once a week right now but the mulch is doing its...

I got another 20 apple trees planted in this spring and have been using the fertilizer schedule that was on here. Last years trees are really taking off. I always have some nasty asian beetles and I know that time is approaching. They killed a 5 year old sweet cherry tree last summer even...

Keep up the good fight!

Was seeing if anyone has gone before or might have any reputable air taxis to use. Trying to knock off a bucket list with my father-in-law this late summer/fall. One outfitter said the Indians and DNR have really cut off most places south of Fairbanks for Caribou at this point.

Personally I think mature buck mortality rate is quite high. Unless you own large plots of land, little pressure and good neighbors I can see it being aggravating. Stack up that they're more likely to get killed during rut fights, catch EHD more frequently because of their antler size in...

Been out the last few nights. Most small boys 2.5y just rattling antlers and pushing the does around. Had a mature deer come into beans at dark. This morning a couple small boys but the loudest deepest grunt I've heard from deep in the woods. It'll be here good soon...

Had a mountain lion on my camera a couple years ago. Definitely a mountain lion. Too large for a bobcat.

You see it every day...farmers tearing up any last remaining trees and cover for a little extra space. I figure the moment a naturally occurring issue occurs the effect is only multiplied when there's lack of proper habitat. EHD & drought...deer all flock to the same food and water sources...

That's super impressive! I planted 20 trees this spring (Rockingham Red, Yates, Keener, Virginia Winesap) from Century Farms. All have been doing awesome and are caged with 4ft wire and mulched. Already have another 20 coming next spring (Newtown Pippin, Hewe's Crab, Blacktwig and Swiss...

I ordered a couple dozen late dropping variety apple trees from Century Farms to plant this spring. Very nice company to deal, good pricing and tons of great information. My issue is that I have 3 black walnuts surrounding my food plot area I'd like to plant them in. I know they recommend...

I read some on this and it's usually like stated above...just a respiratory infection. Keep in mind deer are coming out of rut and have been doing a lot of heavy running and have worn down immune systems. Bucks are much more prone to this as well as getting infections starting in the head from...

That's awesome! That is some crazy mass. Love that watering hole!

went in the coon tonight with 7 inch gills. 3 good runs so pretty certain they're going strong Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I'm doing about 2 acres of beans this year but I'm fencing them. Brassicas are really hit it miss depending on how cold it get it would seem. People seems to have good luck with fencing them. Beans and standing/knocked down corn are money makers if you can get them to last. Sent from my...
