    Has anyone remodeled a mobile home?

    There were two old mobile homes with some poor folks living in them when I bought my place. I never stepped inside as they didn't have money to move until I closed. Turned out a LOT rougher than I had imagined. NO way was I going to spend a dime on them. I gave them to two guys to scrap them...

    Tv antenna booster/amplifier

    The "dual" version works well for me: https://www.channelmaster.com/collections/antenna-amplifiers/products/amplify-adjustable-gain-preamplifier-cm-7777hd Mount it up on the antenna. Power is sent up to it via the RG6 cable the signal comes down on. It has two gain settings available.

    Hack and squirt timing

    You need to hurry up, may already be too late to H & S, or girdle. Once the sap starts flowing up the trunks it flushes out the herbicide, keeping it from getting to the roots.

    How to treat skunked dog?

    The skunk spray is greasy, so you need something strong to cut it and not just smear it around the dog. We had success with GOOP hand cleaner.

    Predator guard for 4x4

    I made a guard from plans I found on the internet. Was quite of bit a work - probably just buy the next one.

    Any 25-06 fans??

    I've had a Win 70 with a VariXIII 3-9 in 25-06 for a long time. Sweet gun. I carry it in good weather. My two sons have killed deer with it too.

    Predator Trapping

    I don't try to trap coyotes as they don't seem to be a big problem. I have too many deer as it is - and coyote trapping is probably too advanced for my lazy arse. I do hit the possums and coons every other year or so - trying to help the turkeys which are way down in population. I started...

    Control of multiflora rose in woods

    MFR will be one of the first to leaf out in the spring so you can hit it with herbicide without killing off your desirable plants in the woods.

    I’m declaring a holy war on coons

    I started with dog proofs but have gone to body grips inside a cubby box for a number of reasons. Dead animal is the main one. 5" is the max size allowed on land in MO, works fine on coons. Walmart Ol Roy dog food for bait.

    Sanity check - wanting to enroll in CRP

    I'd also recommend you go lay it all out to the NRCS people. Busting sod to plant crops to enroll in CRP may not fly like you hope. Even if they are taking new CRP enrollments in 4-5 years.

    Eye Bolt Trail Cam Mount

    I like them too, however one caveat. I had one mounted on a t-post as shown above, had plenty of pics then a deer walked up to it and messed with it, knocking the camera straight down. Not a problem until a heavy rain - that Moultrie hanging upside down got water in it and fried.

    PTO shaft question

    Don't know about all PTO shafts, but some are only able to slide together in a certain orientation. Was helping cut silage last summer and a PTO shaft got pulled apart (square shafts) on a wagon. A button/groove on shafts were there to make it go back together such that the u-joints on either...

    Where to Find, Fertilizer and Lime

    I've taken my utility trailer to the local fertilizer plant, spread a big tarp on it letting it hang over the rails, dump the fertilizer on it then folded/strapped it all down. Hauled it the 15 miles then shoveled loads into the broadcaster on the back of my UTV. Saved quite a bit over 50 lb...

    Pond update and structure question

    On a Saturday morning in August 2017 we were trying to put the finish grade on the dam of my new 2a pond. Skies opened up and we had to quit. The pond 90% filled THAT night. Was worried it would all be gone the next morning. A week later another heavy rain put it over the emergency spillway...

    When to remove tree tube?

    I have 700 5' tubes. If it wasn't for them I would not have any trees due to a high deer population. Mostly oak and some chestnut. (direct seeded chestnut BTW) Sure, some issues with the tubes but overall a big win for me. I have taken some off large trees before they "filled the tube" so I...

    Safety glasses with chain saw

    I wear the orange hat with ear muffs and mesh screen. Be safe out there - a fellow hunter/habitat guy two miles away (I did not know him) was killed a month ago by a barber chair smacking him upside the head. He was able to try to make a cell phone call to his wife but it did not go through...

    Bur Oak or Swamp White Oak?

    SWO acorns form at the tip of a 1-3" "stem" or peduncle. I don't see these in your cap picture, although they may have broken off.
