Thanks for your response, The forester did mention TSI to us and replanting trees......for a decent fee of course! AND he is related to me! We had a little meeting today about things and fortunately where I work ( city government ) we have a forester and I am pretty sure we managed to talk her...

I did misquote the size...were gonna start with 2 that will be about 2-3 acres each with 2 smaller ones that are about 1/4 acre each. The 5th is slightly bigger about 3 -4 acres. As we get better cover in the timber we have 6 more areas we might do something with those combined might be around...

Why zero maples? They make good canopy for cover?

I like your idea on the vertical plunge cut! We all have been thru multiple chainsaw training and safety classes. Were City workers (3 of 4) who sometimes are required to use chainsaws. We were planning on 2/3 to 3/4 cut and use wedges if needed. None of us are good with tree id but we managed...

You have alot to say here and I love it! Lots of good advice. We ( our group ) have been following a antler/age restriction rule for around 20 years. Does for meat or genetic screwed up bucks. Antlered out past ear tips and hopefully 4 1/2 yrs and up. I passed on a 8 pointer last year but after...

I should add.....We get lots of deer from the neighboring farms in at night. The south, west have lots of timber the east and northeast is pasture and crop fields but not alot. Every night the North east is a hot bed in our crop field. Anywhere from 10 to 30 deer by sunset. Our 1st goal for...

I will check it out. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. Do you need to do much to prep ground for switchgrass? Can it be put in partially into the timber? the farmer plants very close to the timber edge. Currently all of our stands are easy to get to from the road side and we can walk pretty easy into them. We rarely bump...

We sat in the rain..... The first deer we seen was at 820 am. The deer was walking fast broadside to me at 40 yards. I could not believe i missed. The deer was a 165 plus 10 point. I was sick. I have been hunting deer for 36 years! Buck fever is alive and well. After missing the first one the...

I also have lots of half rackers that are 5 to 7 points on the one side. I have 3 bucks that i have seen in last week with 12 or more points. Had a 27 pointer taken across the road with 1 bigger than that on camera
