    Question on Turkey numbers….

    Quit going out west to hunt because there are no more birds - literally went to hunting farms that had 20+ gobblers to maybe 1 if you were lucky. But it is all birds, hens were down 80-90% also, has to be disease. We were down here in Illinois and IN also but seem to be making a comeback last 3...

    Wood ducks

    They work really well, just do a little homework on the details. Ducks unlimited use to have a nice tutorial on builds

    The Talk

    Only thing I can recommend is just talk to him about what his goals are with hunting. If he says he just wants to shoot a buck no matter the size, probably not going to change his mind. Had the same talk with family on our farm and now my son. I just want to help them achieve those goals and...

    When to spray grass and weeds in plot

    my clover is up and running already here and looking pretty good overall. I have 2 spots the grass really started coming thru and want to get on it before it gets out of hand. Is now to early to spray or will I be good? FYI I am in central IN so 180 or so miles south Kratz

    God has blessed America.

    Not a doubt in my mind it is on both sides - Niki Haley, dirty as they get, McConnell-crook. But I do believe it is heavier on the democratic side, and as Skip said, establishment all need voted out!! Expose it all and then let the American people decide who should be kept based on who voted...

    God has blessed America.

    This is 100% going to be true. We give billions to Ukraine and then they come back and buy US private military contracts and weapons - its real BS to make the insiders rich. they dig all this up and show it to thr American people, the dam on the swamp is gonna bust wide open I think there is a...

    A Straight Walled Gun for my Wife

    The 220 is an awesome gun but will kick your ass compared to any of the straight walls. The recoil on the 3” accutip on that gun is about 23lbs of free recoil - quite a bit for a small frame. I have the Ruger America 350 for my son 75lbs. He has shot 3 deer with it without a problem. Recoil on...

    The Future of Iowa Deer Hunting and a One Buck Limit

    Some real good points here - doing shots would be fun. Gotta feeling I would run some broadheads thru my arms thou - can go spear instead!! I do think there are lots of changes that could help the herd overall for residents and based on what I have heard from guys on here and good friends it...

    Brassicas not touched

    Been many years since we did a soil test, I cannot recall the specifics. I generally try to get mine in by first week of august, maybe I need to push that back to mid august. Do put Nitrogen down but not overboard, maybe we will lay off that. Can’t decide if we give it another try or switch...

    Brassicas not touched

    Our PH is around 7.4 - when I say untouched they don’t even eat the leaves after the hard frosts. I had heard it sometimes takes a year or two for them to start hitting them but I think I am done trying

    Brassicas not touched

    Well, I am on about my 4th year of running brassicas on one of my farms. This farm has 2 small plots, 1 is about 3/4 of an acre and the other about 1/4. The 3/4 acre plot I have about half in clover mixed and half in brassicas, turnips, radishes. The clover does tremendous and the deer love it...
