    Recommendations for stock tank waterhole size

    I've got a 75 and a 60 gallon tank in the woods. The 60 is an oval and was easier to dig in as it is shorter in height. Both get used. Dig it in on a hillside and they auto-fill.

    Supplemental Feeds

    I've also heard about their stomachs needing time to adjust to changing seasonal diets. Below is a link to a podcast regarding creating stump sprouts due to logging and their nutritional value to deer. In short, their study states that (100) 5" diameter maples that were cut down and stump...

    Wolves showed up on the property.

    Peplin - Was it Saturday when they were on camera? Sunday morning I had 8 deer, 5 bucks in my front yard which is unusual. I'm about 1/2 mile west of the highway.

    Thanks for sharing this link. I listened to all of them. I wish there would be more info like this out there from universities or extensions.

    Lease Out Hunting Land?

Someone paying you "expects" bucks and will shoot the best buck they see on Saturday, or the first buck they see on Sunday. Even if they don't shoot anything, most would...

An early antlerless could be an alternative to a...

    Early Antlerless with Youth Hunt

    I see some other states have an early antlerless hunt that coincides with the youth hunt. For counties that may need to thin the herd, what are your thoughts on this and do you think it would be more effective than the later season antlerless hunts?

    Land Loan

    I went with FCS on my loan. They gave lengths up to 30 years at a fixed rate for recreational land. You are able to refi your term and rate 1 time per year at no cost. Went from a 25 yr to a 18 yr in 3 years. I will use them again in the future.

    Marathon County WI Land for Sale.....Would you Buy or Run Away

    I drove past this on 29 on the way to Wittenberg today. Some notes at 65 mph. Two hunting shacks on power lines visible from 29. South east of it is a swamp. Terrain is pretty flat. Timber looks fairly young, 6 - 10". I would look elsewhere.
