What suppresser do you recommend for a 350 legend. It's a Savage Trail Hunter Lite, 18" barrel. Thank You

I'm not sure if my blower lacks CFM or I'm getting an air leak, but it seems to either throw too much or too little clover seed with one click of the gate. On another note, I ended up going Peter North with chicory coverage in one small area of my plot. I thought the gate was closed and...

It's embarssing to be from MN. I need to change my forum name! A Precarious State good documentary about the situation in MN from a long time news guy.

I wish for it, as long as there's a good population of deer and a reasonable amount of hunters.

In short, high grading and EHD has really hurt areas in Southern Iowa. High grading is the reason in my little world of Missouri.

What has really hurt my area is there are guys that used to shoot the first 120-130 are now passing them waiting for a big one, which are often 3 or 4 year old high potential bucks. I long for the days when my neighbors tagged out by 9 am on opening day......and for the days before crossbows!

I believe it in MO. Heck, there are farms in Southern Iowa that kicked out mega giants back in the day that now struggle to get them past 160.

Do I dare say the swear word that is........Crossbow!

I've noticed a real lack of use with Enlist beans. We planted some in a 1/2 acre plot so we could spray Liberty to clean up marestail and there were still pods in the spring.

Some Hy-Vee locations and Scheel's in Eden Prairie removed self checkouts in the great state of Minnesota. Seems too many people "forgot" to scan their items.

The Matterhorn beat the big names and others in this test. I was surprised! It seems like the test method would translate to the real world too. I don't love the camo options but I don't think you can beat the value.

Here's 3 acres of your Carbon Load. I got a good rain shortly after planting on Aug 15, then it quit as usual. The grains component seemed to have burnt up to some degree, hope enough rye survived for spring coverage. Brassicas component look great! I didn't expect this high of a percentage...

Bill, I envy you and the fact your hunting is fulfilling for you, but we all have a different idea of what fulfills us. Some golfers are all about getting out there, hanging with the guys, and carding a 100 every round. They don’t practice and don’t care if they ever shoot a 95. Sometimes I wish...

Unfortunately, I will lose interest if my ceiling is 150. It's just the way I'm wired. I need to have upside or the perception that there is an upside to stay engaged.

Yeah, I've jumped around a number of times. The first two were significant improvements, but the last ones have been lateral.

I believe my glory days are over. I arrowed a 217" in 2017 and had another smoker to hunt in 2018, which was the last next level buck who's core area included my ground. Since 2018, each and every high potential buck has gone missing.

Yes, lots of factors at play all of which make the chances of the high potential bucks surviving to 5 and 6 years old very slim. Only 3 out 10 bucks have the potential to be above average and unfortunately, they are above average in size at 3 and 4 years old and below average in street smarts.

What do you attribute the lack of next level bucks on your farms the last few years to? I've noticed the same on my farms in North MO. The last next level buck I had was in 2018.

Do you have a lot of dry does in your area? I'm always shocked at the number of does without fawns in MO vs. my old land in WI. Fawn recruitment in MO is far lower. We haven't shot a doe on one farm in MO since we bought it in 2021 and the population isn't noticeably higher if at all. Maybe...

North MO = High Graded
