I got a pic over night of a 120” 3 year old, this makes two bucks in this age bracket over three spread out farms in SE Ohio. Ehd has destroyed my properties like many on here. I have couple doe and handful of yearling bucks and fawns across the three properties. Both bucks have poor genetic...

With ehd destroying my Ohio herd, I’ll likely be attacking habitat plans during my trip in a few weeks. Would any of you reccomend planting barefoot pear and apple now? I have a good dozen or so trees I’d like to get in the ground, my other option is June which has proven to be dangerous with...

I’m in extreme drought in SE Ohio, my properties lie in the darkest shade of drought on the monitor that there is. One decent rain of a quarter inch since June 20. My new blue hill pears (12) have been watered weekly and often bi weekly with 5 gallons and the last two weeks the leaves have all...

I grabbed two of three of the new reveal 3.0. Anyone have thoughts, I haven’t got them out yet, curious how they are performing.

The prescription provided by the forester was for larger acre + cuts above the military. My thought was those cuts will serve as doe bedding being closer to the food. My idea was add cuts close to the military to give the bucks ideal bedding. I have found single beds on the military between...

I’m planning on doing some bedding cuts this summer during my trip to Ohio. My hill country property has no conifer, no plum, and minimal shrub minus some spice bush, a very little rose, and autumn olive. I’m looking to do some cuts as prescribed by Madison Raber on the far end of the property...

Anyone have luck with either Morse persimmon or any of their pears? I’m trying to find a place to buy persimmon. But bluehill is always sold out before I can get to it. Any other recommendations for persimmons that are a little more mature than seedling? Anyone ever try hybrid pear from Morse...

Property is 110 acres

This question has been asked before but seeing if anyone has changed their thought process. Where are you placing your orchards? One single orchard or multiple? Are you placing them in a destination food source? Are you placing a couple in transition plots? Any in interior kill plots? Just...

There’s no corn or beans for about 2 miles, maybe 3. Got a guy that plants smaller plots mile n half away. There are folks close by running corn piles which I’ll have couple feeders out to combat/compete. Got an acre and half of ladino mixed in with RW clover, frost seeded two weeks ago...

Southeast Ohio and heavy soil.

Thoughts on a broadcast of the wr clover into the vitalize mix? Would it need to be drilled or would broadcast +rain work

I’m thinking for my goals a mix is ideal, living 2000 miles away it makes sense to plant something I have to worry less about. I was just curious if there were any diehard bean guys that would jump in and tell me why beans would be a must. Probably a stupid question, keep in mind I’ve lived in...

My new property did pretty good this year for first year, had three bucks over 130 using in regularly. We cut corn about three weeks ago and it’s getting hammered every evening often times with 20+ deer. I was surprised that 3.5 acres of corn wasn’t torn down by mid November. With spring coming...

I appreciate all the insight. I’ve already purchased 4 acres worth of Switch so I’m going to move forward on that plan, probably not to the crazy degree I was thinking but definitely get some screening in and section off food into quarter acre chunks. My buddy is frost seeding clover in the...
