Jake, that was a very informative interview. In fact it caused me to try to research the high oil corn. I found that there is not a lot out there on it but I rolled the dice on what Tony plants and will give it a go this year. The plot will be a little over 2 acres and split between traditional...
I watched a recent episode of Bill Winke's on tree pruning. One of the experts on it doing the pruning pointed out an area that Bill planted into fruit trees that was surrounded by timber in a relatively small area. He said those areas are not good places to put fruit trees as cold air settles...
My buddy talked to someone in the WY game and fish and he was told that 3 points would get a general tag this year. I said that was very positive thinking as it took 4 pts to get a general last year minus the randoms. Perhaps they are thinking the new zones will allow for that. Good luck to...
Thank you everyone! I have loads of naturally occurring grey dogwood and the deer browse it but I want to add more variety, also the nrcs biologist isn't a fan of it as he says it can be invasive. I have a couple spots on this farm that would lend to that theory.
About three years ago, my dad...
I'm renewing my continuous crp. One of the practices I'm doing allows me to plant shrubs. I will be planting 4 rows of 2 kind of shrubs. I have loads of elderberry on the place already but I know it is bombproof. I think wild plum would be a good one but not sure how much it get's browsed...
I know you want to kill the honey locust, but if you notice certain trees are targeted for their pods, you might want to leave them. I have a few that the deer hammer every year regardless of how bad the winter conditions are. I've killed hundreds but these few are safe because the deer flock...
These are two of the bucks that have spent several double digit minute visits at this mineral lick. The 5x5 is new since last week. A new half rack typical 5 pt that has a 2" kicker off his G2 showed up last week as well.
Put mine out the first Sunday in Jan. The deer have been hammering it since. I'd keep refreshing it every 2 months if I didn't plan on hunting in illegal zone spelled out in the baiting law.
Like IBH1983 said, you may get some of them to stay. The las few years this has happened on our place and the best have stuck around. The place has ample food opportunities and generally we killed the oldest on the place that same season so there was room for them to move into the area.
