    New respect for turkeys

    I always have said, only the smart turkeys come to the calls. The rest wander aimlessly. It's like hunting deer that have had a lobotomy. The smart ones are rare. :)

    Dogwood cuttings

    I'm pretty sure dogwood and Willow have their own natural rooting hormone as long as you rough up one side and plant them nodes up into the ground up a few nodes deep you should be fine The biggest problem I've experienced with them is that the deer will eat them before they get a chance to...

    Simazine and trees

    I had some winter rye in a 3 acre field that I needed to kill off for this year's switch grass I applied Simazine last week at 2 quarts in acre. I would like to plant Norway spruce around the perimeter next weekend do you think it is safe to do so?

    Tree Tube Options

    I do the same! Work great! I buy the 10 or 12 foot chunks and cut in half. A little more bang for your buck.

    Make Minnesota Iowa again?

    My town is split into two counties. I'm on the fillmore side. Looking forward to IA resident tag prices! By land mass, MN is essentially a Republican state minus 3 festering blue dots in the Metro, Duluth and Rochester. 78 of 87 counties voted red in 2024.

    Cedars vs pine vs spruce

    I have planted about 100 Norway Spruce in SE MN and havent caged them and they seem to be doing pretty well (minus the few I mowed down). Got the 24 to 36" variety from Yellow River Nursery. I have another 200 coming this year. Seem to grow decently fast. I would transplant more cedar, but...

    IOWA DNR STATE Forest Nursery

    Yellow River does ship or you can pick up in Marshfield, WI. I will say Scott is awesome to work with and there are no surprises. I highly recommend YR. However, trying to spread your dollars matters and looking to add some Arrowwood this year, so I think I will give the IDNR a shot with at...

    IOWA DNR STATE Forest Nursery

    I'm considering saving some cash and buying some trees from IOWA DNR for next spring. In the past, I have used places like Morse Nursery and Yellow River Nursery and have good things to say about both. However, I'm looking at purchasing some Arrowwood (which I can't get from either commercial...

    Persimmon planted and either tubed or caged.

    Good luck. They aren't the most robust trees in my limited experience planting 2 years ago. I have some replacements coming this year on warranty. Iowa, being further south, should help.

    I wouldn't plant cave in, plant RC tecumseh or big rock

    Would like to hear opinions on the most economical cellular camera plan when running about 15-20 cameras?

    Stick with Spartan. Worth the little extra and the durability make up most of the difference over time.

    Nursery

    Yellow River gets a thumbs up. I have also used Morse, they are expensive, but have a few species you won't find at Yellow River.

    Looking for ideas on tree tubes…

    Stakes-10ft 3/4 inch PVC (from Menards) cut in half worked well for me. Miracle tubes are worth the price unless you unlimited time to mess around with the knock offs.

    Your preference for switchgrass seed’

    I frost seeded 3 aces of Tecumseh in late March into bean stubble. The seed is perfect for frost seeding being a little smaller. I intended to mow, spray etc, but never did. We essentially had no rain all summer, but it turned out great. It has some foxtail and lambs quarter in it that I'll...

    LWCG 0.5 OR .75.

    Which one would you buy and with which seat? I have gift certificates, so has to be LWCG. Thinking of pairing with the solid 20 inch double steps. Im currently running a close to 20 year LW and sticks. Thoughts?

    Heated vest recommendations

    Seems like there are several options out there. Is the bulk factor the main reason to go with the Pnuma? I was eyeing up the ORONO as it extends up into the neck as well. After seeing this post reconsidering the Pnuma (hadn't seen it with my initial searches).

    Best lighted knocks?

    I have had them all fail. I like the Glory nocks best when they work. Much easier to turn on and off. Longevity just isn't a strength of any of them. I have not tried fire nocks.
