In the summertime this is a small fill-pit on my property that I use for trail repairs. This winter since the moment we got snow, it’s just been a deer magnet! I took a few pics. The pit is dug out of a glacial esker that runs the length of my property. It’s a 25’ tall mound of gravel that...

My wife likes to watch wildlife behind our house and occasionally spreads a 50# sack of corn out there…mostly to watch the deer. Well a flock of 9 turkeys figured out what was up, and now show up within minutes of the dump and hang close all daylight hours. I happened to be out by her feeding...

The farmer who rents my tillable ground has an alfalfa field a few miles from my place. I’ve watched it closely now for 3 years and I’m just dumbfounded at the deer that thing attracts. Even now after many hard frosts. I must have one! 😂😂. I have a 1.25 acre spot that’s the best dirt on my...

A friend came across a free pallet of 25 (??) year old Alsike clover seed and gave me a couple of bags. I think they are 100# each. I’ve never seen seed in cloth bags before. I’m doing a germination test on it now, but a local farmer told me he figures it’ll be fine. Anyway, alsike is said to...

What do you all have for jacks in your shop? (Anyone with a nice hydraulic lift can piss off😂😂) I have 1/2 ton truck, cars, tractor (8000#), UTV, ATV, ZT mower and snowmobiles. I need to jack all of them off the concrete floor of the shed at least once or twice a year each. I currently have...

We recently moved into our new house and it is “wired” with several Cat5E cables…all terminated in the basement near the electrical box. One goes to the family room, the bedroom, my office, and the kitchen. Right now I have the “Standard” Starlink router in the middle of the basement at the...

I have a 30 acre clover hay field that attracts hundreds of geese every day in the early fall. Twice a day actually. They land in one spot in the morning and slowly work their way around the entire field over the course of a few hours (grazing) then they leave and come back before dark and...

I’m just a homeowner with some land to care for and I rarely put more than 100 hours on my tractor each year. Of course I change the oil in that every year. No question. But how often do you change out the gear oil in implements like snowblowers and brush cutters? They each get maybe 20 hours...

I’ve always had a very strong bias toward buying everything I possible can, locally. I’ve been this way my whole life and I’ve generally had the luxury of being “able” to pay more to support my neighbors - so to speak. But the tiny Feed and Seed in my adopted community at my hunting farm...

I had about 10 acres of basswood and hard maple clearcut this summer and I just finished dragging the trails clean and getting about 1” of heavily compacted soil loosened up. Basically destroyed my drag doing it. Nevertheless, it’s done and ready for seed. The trails and log landing area I’m...

Suppose you were building a new home at your hunting farm and planned to have a yard / apple orchard area of around 3.5 acres. You also have around 5 acres of food plots and 2miles of trails you keep mowed today with your tractor & bush hog……but both are easily smooth enough for a ZT in dry...

With all of the rain we’ve had this year I’ve only been able to partially mow my clover / chicory plots (5 acres) once. Even 4 weeks ago, any low spot either had standing water or was so soft I dared not go in. But I cut most of it about 8” tall (removed 4”). It absolutely blew up since...

For a long time I’ve planned to “become” a reloader one day. But I’m probably not going to do that. I have about 300 rounds of personally once-fired, de-primed, .300 WSM brass that I’d like to sell. Most of it (240 rounds) is the Winchester Supreme silver brass cases. The rest are regular...

Before I became a tractor owner I always walked past the “jumbo” tool rack and secretly wished I had a reason buy some. I now have wrenches and sockets up to 1.5”, giant crescent and pipe wrench’s, and a 30” breaker bar. The only sizes I get much use out of are the 1 5/16” and the 1.5” on...

Any suggestions out there for a decent respirator? Mid-tier priced? Right now my uses would be on Gly, 24D, Triclopyr, and Bonide on apple trees. I’d use it about 4 times per year with a backpack sprayer and/or atv sprayer. What are the attributes I should look for in a mask?

My wife had some time to kill and stopped at a yard sale out in the middle of nowhere Northern Wi. She met an elderly man and talked with him as she shopped the stuff he was selling after his wife’s passing and a whole lifetime together. She was bawling I’m sure 😂 He got to telling her a...

I’ve used my backpack sprayer without great success which leads to thinking of buying a fogger for spraying my mature trees. But I’m cheap….and I started thinking about a way to not spend that money on a single-tasker. I have about 30 mature trees up to about 25’ tall. But if you held your...

I have a JD4066R that is pretty tight in the cab but I’d really like to be able to carry a short barrel rifle in it while I’m out on the property. Possibly a pistol too, but a rifle for sure. Likely an AR platform (.22 or .223) or some sort of brush gun / guide gun….with a shotgun tube and a...

I really enjoy seeing other people’s food plot weapons. So post ‘em up! Implements too! I’ll start with a couple of my baby :)

I’m guessing it’s not the final word but I, for one, liked doing business with them. I planned to do more in the future because, in spite of the upfront pricing model, I felt they made the absolute best and I was willing to pay a little more and wait a little longer because I could 100% prove...
