I'm genuinely surprised there hasn't been more discussion in this thread about ICE. Turns out they think they can enter your home without search warrants...

I can think of a few of his policies that fly in the face of American and Conservative American politics. Also, this could very well be another North Korea-type announcement that ends up being nothing.

I think all of these could potentially be explained by someone placing the camera or changing out the cards recently and the deer reacting to that lingering smell. I don't think bucks understand what the camera is nor do they walk on one side of the tree to avoid it. I have no doubt that they...

I was studying up in Fayetteville in January 2009 for that really bad ice storm. I remember it being somewhere between 1-2 inches of ice. Probably the nastiest winter storm I have ever experienced. Most didn't have power for 3-5 days. I remember walking with friends at night around town and...

I would have to dig for them, but I have had bucks quarter away from a camera that was up in the tree that whipped their head around and looked right at it. This was a no-glo camera. I'm convinced that with certain video cameras that record in video mode they can hear a high frequency sound when...

Yeah, I have not splurged for roundup ready alfalfa. It's not the cost that has kept me from pulling the trigger yet, but logistics and need. I will definitely be planting some in a year or two.

I think this is what the kids call sane washing. Threatening to invade one of your closest allies because of some "virtue-signalling tool" that is apparently worthless, is all the more reason to question Trump's mental condition.

Apparently a renovation at the Smithsonian, which is also on the National Mall, was going to cost around $2 Billion before it was shelved. I am sure adding in the fact it is mostly below ground in a swamp and all of the federal regulations for federal buildings post 9/11 isn't helping. A golf...

Bill Winke has a few videos on them. I think if you time them right when they get planted, you can have them fill in thin areas of your plots.

Has anyone bailed and covered an alfalfa bail from their plot with the plans of feeding deer after the season? For the larger plots there might be enough to get a bail that could be clutch as a protein source after the season. I would think you would need to harvest it dry and keep it dry, but I...

How have their been too many houses built?? We are still short something like 4.7 million homes.

Exactly what I was considering as well. Maybe a few with painters tape just in case that works a little better.

I use the 6 ft orange fiberglass reflective stakes for 5 ft Miracle Tubes. They are very cheap ($108 for 100) and easy to install. One of the downsides is that deer or racoons can pull the tubes up off the stakes.

I have planted somewhere over 1000 tubes. Their failure rate is definitely higher than with cages. I am still using tubes for some tree species because the ease of installing them in the field is still worth it. If my property was largely established and I was only planting 10-20 trees per year...
