LATIN KING! I lived there 4 years for school, and this was our favorite restaurant by a mile. Overall the food joints there were nothing to write home about, with the exception of Latin King, fantastic Italian restaurant.

I’m waiting on my seed in the mail. As soon as it arrives and our 3 inches of snow melts, I’ll be spreading it.

It has taken me lots of “practice”, but if you spend enough time in the woods, eventually your skill will improve. The apps definitely help a lot, I tried several field guides and websites.

I’ve been grafting the wild mulberry over to Illinois Everbearing. No fruit yet, but they’ve browsed the new shoots heavily, so either graft up higher or cage.

Merry Xmas to me!

I’m getting an IWOM for XMAS. Fingers crossed it works as advertised. Right now I wear an uninsulated boot and thin wool sock to the tree, layer a heavier pair on top, and use boot blankets. Fine until wind chills dip below 30 or its snow out, then I go to the Baffin insulated boots. Boot...

I absolutely target patches of MFR during my scouting and hunting on public as it’s great cover and its the only thing that keeps other guys out. I have a hard time leaving it on private, but if I clear out an area and provide the sunlight, something thick will grow up.

If you’re cutting and spraying stumps, I’d just use roundup. If you want to spray the bark without cutting, mix diesel and triclopyr at about a 4:1 rate and spray all the way around.

Trail cam pics can make it difficult to enjoy the current hunting season. I have nothing over 140” on private this year and nothing over 150” on public so it’s hard to bring myself to hunt for and shoot something that’s “small” compared to what I’ve seen in years passed. I’m planning to whack a...

Depends on the weather, but all day sits don’t make sense to me until November 1. A cold front might change my mind, same with the movement I see. But I’d rather sit all day 11/2-3 rather than burn myself the first couple days.

I’ve been scouting the heck out of public, and the crop has been really spotty, which has concentrated the deer, but also likely the hunters real quick. I’ll be in an oak ridge the first couple of days.

I’d spend some of your free time in-season scouting where you’re going to be bowhunting next year. If you’re brand new to the area, it’s going to take a while to figure things out, but in-season scouting with nothing to lose will allow you to push deeper than normal and figure things out. If...

Simplest: winter rye You can add clover to feed deer in the spring or fix nitrogen for next fall’s crop especially if you’re considering brassicas. You can add radish and feed oats for variety. All of these can be broadcast and will grow whenever enough moisture arrives. I’m all throw and...

Whatever the boot, if you’re going to wear them every day, you will get athlete’s foot and eventually nail fungus unless you: 1. Buy two pair and alternate days you wear them allowing them to fully air dry between use 2. Utilize a pneumatic boot dryer or UV light shoe sterilizer 3. Use an...

Are burns best yearly or every other year?

Passing is a good move, you’d hate to wonder forever how big he might have been. He would make a cool euro mount though.

I’d be giddy too, that’s a really good one.

I’m so astute that I’ve had to learn that lesson the hard way, twice. I sprayed Roundup/2-4 D on same day as a brassica planting (radish, rape, turnip). Interesting that it only had an effect on the rape and turnip, and I ended up with a clean, pure stand of radish.

I think we can all agree that summer sucks

I’ve owned my current property for 8 years. Doe harvest has been very limited as the population appears well below capacity. Plenty of food and cover, no discernible browse line along with food leftover into March are all signs that the numbers are steady. I’m taking one every other year on...
