Does anyone know if there has been any movement prohibiting trail cameras and e bikes on public lands? I should draw this year but if this is likely to pass in the next year or 2 I would wait to apply then. E-bikes are really changing how public land is hunted.

My dad has a F/S utv sprayer. It works awesome. 100gal with 18’ booms. I should put a gps on it to be more efficient. I spray approximately 20-30 acres each year.

I am about 20 miles north of the Iowa border. About 45 minutes from Decorah. If anyone makes it up north I could meet them.

I have a banks 600 feeder I’d sell for $250. I’m in cwd zone so I can’t feed anymore. Hasn’t been used since 2016.

Do you feel it was worth the investment?

Looking at different options for an electric spreader to be used on atv or side by side. Primarily use will be spreading fertilizer, clover and rye. Anyone have any feedback on the herd...

The cwd deer that I’ve shot all appeared fine except one doe. She looked somewhat skinny. I have no idea what happened to the bucks that didn’t make it back. Almost assume they died because friends and family in the area never got any of those bucks on camera either. But I can’t say for sure it...

MadCatted, what state did you observe and research this? I am from Minnesota and my dad’s farm is basically ground zero in the SE. I have personally shot 3 does and 1 buck that have tested positive since cwd was first detected in 2016. We never allowed sharpshooters on our farm but they have...

Yep. I should have clarified, a combination of each for a brassica plot.

For those of you drilling radishes and PTT. How many lbs of each are you putting down an acre.

This is exactly why you guys need to fight like hell to keep crossbows out of archery. *Minnesota

That doesn’t sound good for some of you. I don’t know what’s worse, EHD or CWD? DNR killed 57 deer on neighboring property and 108 within 1.5 miles of my dads. Last January-April. I know how some of you feel about slim pickings, not wanting to shoot a doe and having no mature bucks to target...

I think that’s pretty good Skip. I’m a non resident. I really hope they don’t change anything. MN is a total disaster. Endless seasons and now they are sharpshooting on 2 sides of me over corn piles until April. I can’t wait to get back to Iowa in 4 years. I’d sign a petition if you have one...

I think some of each. We have harvested 3 bucks that tested positive for cwd. None of them looked sick, they were 5 years and older. We have found dead bucks every year. But that has been the case the last 15 years. I do have pictures of some sickly looking younger bucks and does. No doubt the...

It’s happening in MN, 20 miles from the iowa border. DNR has ravaged the heard. They’ve added 2 extra cwd hunts after the regular firearms seasons have closed. Added landowner hunts followed by 3 months of sharpshooting. Going on year number 5. Not to mention, unlimited tags on does and bucks...

Anyway you could hinge cut 30’ around your property? In a few years it would be so thick and nasty that they couldn’t see past that barrier into your property.

Thanks for sharing, worth the listen.

Don’t worry about foxtail. I was in this scenario 10 years. Asked Paul Knox on his take. He said let it go, don’t worry about it. The first year I had nothing but foxtail. Kept it mowed so it didn’t get too tall. By year 2 i didn’t hardly notice any foxtail. And had a great stand of switch...

Thanks for sharing the video! That really looks like it would work perfect. When seeding Forbes, do you separate from the grasses? Or do you have the seed company mix everything together and just use the bigger hopper? Thanks again for sharing this.

In southern Minnesota the WSI is a little different then the northern part of the state. This year the winter severity index in the southeastern part of Minnesota will be 32. 32 indicates the number of weeks the deer have been/will be hunted in 2020/2021. I’m so thankful we don’t have all the...
