Just checked FB and there are quite a few Stihl br 600 - 800 in the $200-$400 range. I think you would be happier with a used br 700 (900 cfm) for the same $300 you would spend on your above blower (765 cfm)... but that is just my 2 cents. As for the mph vs. cfm, that is a balancing act. High...

I would look at Facebook Market Place (or something similar) to find a used quality name brand one (Stihl/RedMax) that fits in the budget... especially if you know how to clean a small engine carburetor (which is the #1 reason for the "non-running" or "poor running" ones).

I personally have the 800 C-E and paid the extra money for the MUCH BETTER comfort (soft backpack shoulder straps, back cushion, and padded hip strap) and adjustable telescoping nozzle over the 800. The "side start" handle is nice but not as important as the first two options I mentioned for me...

Another vote for the Stihl 800. Pay more upfront now for a commercial grade piece of equipment that will last a LONG time. You will find yourself using it more often than you think (yard work, moving snow, cleaning/drying vehicles/equipment, etc.) and it saves a lot of time vs other blowers.

3/4 inch 10ft EMT conduit pounded in 3-4 ft with zip tied matching height (I like the 8ft) plastic deer fence from Amazon (1x1 inch square size) keeps out most critters. I like to leave the bottom about 1 ft long and bury it so nothing goes/digs under the fence. If you want to be "fancy" you...

My fear/prediction: overall harvest will be slightly down from last year. However, the number of does, "yearlings", and 1.5 - 3.5 year old bucks taken will be MUCH higher than last year. Mature bucks over 3.5 years old will be WAY down. I will personally admit this is the first year I have...

First, thank you to Tmayer13 for starting this very important REAL HUNTER FEEDBACK thread. Also, thank you for being so open and honest, especially when things did not go according to plan. For me, I use to shoot a 3 blade up until 5 years ago. They were cheap and my bow hunting "knowledge"...

Cat is out of the bag. For dead calm and crunchy...occasional grunts the whole way to the stand and go between stomping like an elephant and galloping like a horse about 30-15 mins before legal shooting. Every deer within ear shot will come by within the first hour. This also works for...

While driving today in Mills County today i saw 4 bucks (all about 150) cruising open fields (one hot on a doe) between 11 - 2. Sat this evening and only saw a handful of does.

I had the exact same situation as Wapsi above but the fight occurred one property over in the timber. It was a big enough fight to clear out the woods of does and a handful of smaller bucks. Two 8 pointers took advantage of the situation and started pushing does around a cut corn field. Nice...
