My point is you’ve come on here implying that the TWRA biologists and officers, many that I know well and respect, are falsifying CWD test results or intentionally introducing it to the herd as part of some grand interstate conspiracy to defraud sportsmen across the country of license dollars...

Don’t go talking about things you don’t know. Those counties are very rural/agricultural. And unlike some state agencies, TN Wildlife Resources Agency gets nothing from the general fund, so there’s no imaginary money about to fall out of the clouds. What do they have to gain from this? Heck if...

Get somebody local on the ground with you if Maine offers that service. In the meantime, tell us what you are managing for and what equipment you have. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hack and squirt is good until the sap starts flowing. In TN, I quit by mid February but start again once leaves are fully expanded. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m not spud but there isn’t really a tree too big, but as tree size increases, hack and squirt becomes cheaper and faster. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have dove hunted with a pump, semi, O/U, and SxS. The pump is the slowest to a second shot by far but I may well shoot it better than the rest since it’s the gun I learned to shoot on. I can get a 3rd off almost as fast with a double gun as I can the pump. I don’t know that I’ve lost any...

I got an article in my email about it. I can’t remember who it was from but I’ll dig and see if I can find it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Something I recommend on pollinator habitat- throw a bag of bird seed sunflowers in the grain box if you are drilling. Instant, pretty color. Deer love to chow on the wildflowers too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No longer the case. CRP was gutted in this farm bill. CP42 is no longer an option but you could plant a similar mix as a CP2. 50% max cost share, no SIPs, no PIPs, and soil rental rates are capped at 85% of the county average by soil type for new contracts and reduced another 15% for re...

Jack beat me to it- connect the blocks of timber with some sort of permanent cover. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Somebody just dated themselves big time! How did you come up with that? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They look like egg cases but I have no idea what put them there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
