Brassicas and small grains want nitrogen. Clovers more so P and K. In my opinion, even though you may loose some through volatilization, it is still your best bet. When farmers side dress their corn around here, it's either urea or knifed in solution. I follow the farmer's protocol personally.

Our deer really browsed the waterhemp early. Not much use now that it has dried out a little bit. There is no question that many weeds have a big benefit to wildlife, especially upland birds. Just don't tell a farmer you're letting them propagate.

Congratulations! Being a father is the greatest thing ever!

I like to be higher(20 ft plus), but you really have to watch the shot angle if the trail is close. If I'm hunting in a cedar, I don't usually worry about getting too high up.

I would plant it through the latter part of June. 104 day corn should work pretty well. It won't probably be dry until December, but it should mature, or be very close by the first freeze.

If my 06 Allegience wasn't still going strong, I would scoop it up. Bowtech had a great run of bows for a few years.

I was thinking about this last night while I was looking at some old videos. Every tom came up to the DSD from the side/behind and stood looking over it. Most of those were facing the blind. I a going to start putting my DSD jake facing away from the blind. Right or wrong, I'm hoping this will...

I'm in Yankton, and it's not quite that bad here. We were just a couple degrees warmer, so we didn't get quite as much ice accumulation. A good chunk of it came as rain. There is a pretty good coating of ice on everything now though, and they're calling for more snow tonight and tomorrow.

Great stuff, congratulations!

With the drought, there is a serious shortage of forage out there. If it's still a relatively good stand of brome/alfalfa/clover, I would be a little hesitant to rip it up. Simply because hay should be high priced again this year. Of course, pure alfalfa will be priced higher, but even crappy...

How old is the stand? Alfalfa produces autotoxins that inhibit the growth of new seedlings. This is the main reason why inter seeding alfalfa is seldom successful. If you can, it is best to rotate the field away from alfalfa for one year, to allow the toxins to break down.

X2 I would have a little for you, but I doubt your gonna be in Yankton, SD anytime soon. Dealers usually have a little "plot seed" left over.

I'm in Yankton, and it was very tough on our area. It's amazing how barren some of the old trails and bedding areas are! I think 50 to 70% is pretty accurate, if not a little conservative.

I posted part of this footage last spring, but finally got the rest uploaded. Nebraska's only 11 days away! Put the res to HD, if it works. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Yjhc0OIpZaY

^^^^^^^trapperman.com is a great resource. Just sort through a lot of the bs. With your access to that much creek ground, I would lean towards 1 1/2 coil springs on drowners, in pockets, as already mentioned. I like to set areas heavy, take out what I can, then move onto the next spot. I think...

I sold all my fur to a local buyer, so I didn't have any in the auction. But, I was very happy to see how we'll the coyotes and coon sold. I know the local buyers catch a lot of grief sometimes, but I hope they made some money at the auction.

Took my last deer to Glenn. I was very happy with the work. Whomever you take it to, take a good look at all of their recent work. Not just their showroom, or their award winning heads. To me, I don't mind paying a little extra to make sure I don't end up with a donkey with antlers staring at...

All I can say is keep it safe as you can. A gentleman last his life on one of these hunts down in Nebraska a few weeks back. I used to go on a lot of these hunts, growing up in Central Nebraska. Never did consider it very safe, but I'm not going to condemn it. Just be safe!

^^^^^^^^ What he said. I have had the best luck with 100 grain BTSPs and cheap Remington 80 grain SPs out of my ruger. If you're not worried pelts, your options are pretty well endless.

That's an awesome deer with an awesome history! Congratulations!
