    Help identifying oak species

    I originally thought this was a pin oak but now I'm not sure. The leaves on the outer branches look like pin leaves but as you get closer to the trunk the leaves are fatter. I'm going to plant some of the acorns regardless because the turkeys seem to love this tree.

    How bad are autumn olive and honeysuckle?

    My property is very wide open as it is an old cattle pasture that 2020 was the first year for no cattle. It is mostly big mature trees but they are scattered. I'm in the process of planting trees and shrubs, but am planting some every year instead of all at once. There is quite a bit of...

    Spring tree planting timing

    Going to get some tree planting started this spring in our pasture. I ordered 500 cedar plugs for screens and sporadic cover. Virtually zero cedars on the property right now. I got the email that said they will ship March 15th. That seems early to me like maybe ground too frozen to plant trees...

    Air pruning beds

    I know it is common practice for you guys to use rootmaker trays to air prune tree roots. I bought some of those to get some acorns started this spring. I have since kind of gone down the rabbit hole of air pruning beds. I know they won't grow as fast as the rootmakers but potentially grow more...

    Dad scores a good one!

    As some of you guys know, in 2020 my dad decided to build a big pond through a watershed project and kicked the cows out of his pasture to try to make it better deer habitat. The last two years we have planted food plots and only hunted the edges of the pasture, trying to create a sanctuary when...

    Good luck tomorrow!

    Good luck to anybody going out for the first gun season and stay safe. Hoping the groups by me behave themselves and maybe run a big boy past me.

    Mineral question

    I know putting out mineral gets different reactions from different people. I am wanting to put out mineral this year for the first time. I was wanting to put the mineral close to the food plots because I already have cameras up there and has good traffic. My question is does put their mineral in...

    Tips on re-attaching antlers

    I posted about my buddy shooting a good buck in muzzie season and that he was going to euro mount it. One antler snapped off when he shot it. The other popped off during the course of butchering. Do you guys have any tips on attaching the antlers back to the skull after it's all cleaned up? Will...

    Memorable hunt with my best friend.

    I am a little behind as this hunt happened over a week ago. I got to spend a hunt sitting with my best friend in one of my homemade shacks sitting over corn stalks covered in snow. The original plan was I was hunting for a trophy buck, but I told Sean he could shoot a doe if there were any in...

    Protecting small trees from rubbing

    I have a young windbreak in my yard that I have struggled to keep deer from rubbing each year. I think the trees are 3 years old now. At least some of them are. Every year I have tried something different to keep the deer from rubbing them and nothing has worked so far. Tried the repellents and...

    Updated 2020 new pond thread

    Long story short, because of a watershed project my dad is building a pond this spring. Thanks to 90% funding by the taxpayers. Without it we could not afford this project. The pond is going to be 6.6 acres and 33 feet deep. But that isnt even the coolest part. The pond is being built in my dads...

    Question about a shot

    Pretty sure I already know the answer, but I took a shot at a buck I had been watching all year and rushed it a little bit because he was staring me down. Too much smoke after the shot to see what happened. All I could find was a big pile of hair where he stood. Looks like gray/brown hair. Not...

    Bad genetics or a freak year?

    Was wondering other guys' thoughts on if this buck has bad genetics or just a freak year that made him like this. I have no history of the deer and only one set of pictures. I did see him driving around tonight and looks like a big bodied deer. Just curious if the chance comes up if he should be...

    One tough buck

    I thought maybe you guys would find this as interesting as me. I will start with the back story. I farm full time so I rarely get to bow hunt. Normally I go late muzzleloader only but I had trailcam pictures of a couple bucks I liked do I got a landowner tag for shotgun and took my smokepole out...
