The guy that convinced me to use hack and squirt said to use an old cafeteria style ketchup bottle as your applicator instead of a spray bottle. The tiny tip and lack of aerosolization ensures it only gets on the tree you intend. I, fortunately, don’t have any high value trees in close proximity...

I would love 4K an acre prices for good hunting. Land within an hour and a half of my home is basically all 12-25k an acre. It’s gotten so bad that there is no way I will ever afford to buy my sisters shares out of the farm that’s been in family hands since the 1870’s Sent from my iPhone using...

^^^^^ ya, Baker is the guy to ask on this. He even has his protein made to his recipe and spec. We had a bad enough drought this past summer and early fall that some bucks started dropping antlers before new years, and several had dropped before Jan 15th season closer. My dad put a trough...

I obsessively watched most of their posted videos over the last couple months. I love their food plot designs. Wish I lived in crop country and could get plots and standing corn to look like that! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Our growing season in the south is just too conducive to providing forage… get some sunlight on exposed ground, and it will be 5 feet tall by the end of the first growing season if we can get decent rainfall. I will be hack-n-squirting a bunch of honey and black locust over the next year or...

I finally deployed my battery only packs in the field with a couple cameras this past week. I never did get around to sponge painting them, so hopefully being over a mile from the parking lot, and being mounted high, will keep them from being found. The BMS board drained a surprising amount of...

I love how the whitehouse cites the problem THEY CREATED as justification for not sending Allie’s oil and natural gas… in a sense blaming energy company exports for the low reserves here at home. This administration is absolutely incompetent. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Now do the $70+ TRILLION US debt, and $60+ TRILLION of unfunded liabilities the taxpayers are on the line for…. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am still not convinced that the correction has happened, and especially not with how horribly things are going with the Chinese housing and debt markets. I really think the house of cards in China is going to fall soon, and all of our largest investment firms are HEAVILY leveraged into those...

Actually, with global birth rates plummeting, we are looking at a probable population decline starting before the end of this century. Societies pulled out of poverty and provided modern healthcare drastically reduce their birth rates within 1 generation. The global birth rate is currently...

On the whole, though, he is correct. Statistically, picking stocks doesn’t beat an index fund, especially when cost differences are taken into account. Buying stock through your employer (typically at a discount) helps the margins, but for me it is just too many eggs in one basket for me to...

Oops… this post is irrelevant because I thought I was posting on a different forum. Dang Tapatalk makes it easy to forget which forum you’re on! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think that’s sturgis. The actual pioneer of TnM was Paul Knox (AKA LickCreek, or Dbltree depending on which old forum you were on). He documented everything he did, worked on the method for YEARS, and is still sorely missed after his passing. He did champion the virtues of Rye, but...

Hahaha, I totally forgot about that insult… One of my better ones, if I do say so. Also, Jeff Sturgis claims to have invented or pioneered every dang technique to have ever existed. He would probably be my least favorite hunting personality. He is the least open-minded person I think I have...

Was that the bottom, or is this the dead cat bounce? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
