    Tactacam Contacts?

    I've been trying for eight days (five different chats/convos now) to get a RMA issued to me so I can send back a defective camera and pay to "upgrade" to a newer model. Long story short, their website form isn't working and they can't do anything manually without that working apparently. When...

    Storm Damage Question

    I've got a younger tree that was leaning heavily. I tried to straighten it with what I had, and I went back to try to fix it up a bit better, but this past week we had a few storms and it partially snapped. I don't have a picture of it once snapped. It bent over heavily about 2/3 of the way...

    Switchgrass seed into existing grass

    Purchasing an additional 40 acres this month and want to screen along that fence-line. I've had really good success with a few different stands of switch on my property across the road. Two were seeded into corn/bean stubble, and one was seeded into clover. Frost seeded then sprayed each area...

    Proactive Trespassing Messaging?

    Buying another 40 across the road from my place - woohoo! On my current property we've been very fortunate, I know all the land owners and we communicate and have had zero issues with trespassing/permission to retrieve game etc. The new piece however borders a piece that is hammered during...

    Leaving Standing Corn

    Didn't get a buck yet, and the coming weeks are busy with travel. Setting sights on late season. Asked the farmer if he'd be open to me buying 1/2 to an 1 acre of corn to leave standing and he's good with that. My question is, do I leave that corn standing where they like to be the most, or do...

    Willow Cuttings Question

    I cut a pile a week or so ago, and put in water (also some dogwood that haven't rooted yet). Went on vacation and came back to them rooting out already (in my head I thought it would take longer). How long can I leave them in the water before I have to plant them? Can they root out for...

    Shack/Cabin Footings?

    Just purchased a 12x20 cabin to be used as our warming house/changing area and an occasional spot to sleep (live an hour away so overnights aren't too common). Curious on your opinions on what to set it on. Crushed rock pad? Rock pad then cement blocks? Footings? Something else? Just...

    Switchgrass help

    Checked on my switchgrass plantings for the first time in month. Assuming the grass in the pics is switchgrass (?), it seems to be doing great in the first picture which was the most important screening area. Assuming that is switchgrass, thanks to all of you for the advice. If it's not -...

    QDMA Deer Steward Course

    Anyone do this recently? Looks like prices are discounted right now. My intent would be to take it to just increase my general knowledge... Just curious on the quality of the content and if the depth is enough to warrant paying vs just consuming free information via forums like this and...
