I considered doing that. Looked into the best trees to buy and everything. Called a local forester just to check (I'd read on the internet 40 yrs would get you to harvest). He said that in my location it would take 80. 80yrs of cattle seemed like a better alternative.

I don't think they even bag corn in white bags anymore. Was in a CO-OP recently and they had pallets stacked high with camouflaged bags of corn. Said that's all they ship now. All the other feeds and whatnot are still regular bags. Big business!

Any benefit to cutting the lower limbs or fertilizing younger walnuts? I walked our place recently and found several trees that I could barely get my arms around and touch palms on the other side. A friend of mine said they'd probably need 15 more years. Wondering if that can be sped up some.

Holy crap! Shelled corn, on the cob, a block, and apples! Quite the pile!

2 weeks ago. I think he looked better in real life, but he looks pretty hagard now.

This pic just screams old and worn out to me.

"Expect" to see zero. Usually see 3 to 10. Depends on time of season and how I'm hunting. I could sit the edge a bean field and see 20 does and spikes a night. Or I could sit a mile away on a small bedding area and maybe see one mature buck and nothing else.

Any Ag seed should work. But there are lots of different varieties. Talk with a CO-OP or a dealer and should be able to come up something that fits your needs perfectly.

Congrats!!!

The deer did not like going into my milo plot this year. It was full of pumpkins and sunflowers. They ate the edges but stayed out. First time in a loooong time that I had sunflowers make it to bloom. I never thought milo could be used to protect other plants but it did. I think it's...

Lol

Black powder would be fun! I'm thinking .22 or .17hmr though. Sounds like an easy enough way to skin them.

I put boards over sheetrock that was painted to match the wife's "accent wall". Live edge with plenty of gaps to show the color behind it. Doubles as a kick shield for the bar.

Squirrel migration... I can't get the image of a bad beer commercial with waves of tree rats invading a park and getting in Chevy Chase's hair out of my mind. Looks like I need to get out on a few hunts. Skinning them is the worst! Used to shoot one, sit at the base of a tree cleaning it...

Buddy that logs walnut. Sent me a pic a few days ago of a tree he said will bring $5,900. Might be worth her time to find the right buyer.
