Was able to capture this double set of photos this Spring of a doe having a fawn. Should have bought a lottery ticket that day lol.

I'm in! Lets do this!

Tried for Zone 4 for with 3 points this year, and was a no go for both myself and my bro-in-law. Next year should be a guarantee at least!

My recommendation would be to also plant the shoreline edges of the pond with some common arrowhead and/or pickerel plant to help filter the water. These plants also won't encroach into the pond like a cattail would.

We sell and direct ship polyethylene liners at Wisconsin Lake & Pond Resource, and also install larger ponds across much of the lower 48. My suggestions for plants are common arrowhead (deer and ducks love them), softstem bulrush, pickerel plant, and cattails (can take over pond though). Here...

I couldn't agree more about using rock or sand! However, most don't have that luxury. As long as the soil/spoils getting put on top are not clay heavy they will settle and have clear water. Clay is the main reason why you would have a "muddy" pond consistently. That is also why we never use clay...

Also, make sure to cover the liner with landscape fabric which will not only help protect the liner, but will also help the deer gain some footing on the liner if they go through any substrate.

Personally I would cover with a sand or gravel if available. If dirt is only option to cover liner, then I strongly encourage installing beneficial aquatic plants, applying pond colorants, and adding beneficial bacteria. This way you can balance the ecosystem. The Culicoides midge that causes...

I have a couple the 100 gallon Banks Wild Waters on my client's properties and I have mixed feelings. They do seem to draw in deer very well, but the constant having to fill gets old especially during the hot months when evaporation wipes out the trough constantly which in turn requires more...

I have pretty much strictly used synthetic liners as I like to hold more water for water quality purposes. I typically shoot to have my ponds 4+ feet deep while maintaining an adequate slope for deer to go in and out. I also cover the liner with landscape fabric (6 or 8 oz). If available in the...

I have grown many turnips in my day with some getting very large as seen in the pictures below. The deer have crushed them regardless of size. I have seen anything from a ping pong ball to a basketball size turnip and have seen little preference to the deer come winter time!

Personally I would plant a row of Techny Arborvitae for fast growth and optimum blockage. On the inside you can then plant some trees that take a bit more time to grow, but give a permanent blockage at a mature height such as a Spruce. Plus you will have no issues with leaves or seeds falling...

Hey guys what are your go-to seed blends or plant types that you plant in heavy shade and filtered sunlight areas?

Love these kinds of posts!!!! The stories on here is what I love about the site! Congrats on a great season!

Hmmm.. Can't say I have ever had an issue with any of my ten coverts. If you have issues with yours I suggest you get in touch with their service department. Best customer service around!

Only nine days left to enter your trail camera photos!!!

We are definitely looking forward to another great year of photos! We always tend to get a good handful from IW.

Good morning IowaWhitetailers! Over at Haastyle Hunting we are putting on our 5th Annual Trail Camera Photo Contest. We have some great prizes again this year, and wanted to make sure that our friends on IowaWhitetail got the chance to send in their best pictures. The link for general...

A great camera for the price, and very user friendly would be the Covert Scouting Camera MPE5! Awesome little camera with great pictures!!!

He was in a 100 acre picked soybean field. If it was just him I would have made an army crawl to close the distance. However, too many doe eyes in the field at that time.
