We clear cut some spots on our ridgetop this past fall. I'd like to frost seed switchgrass in a couple weeks in some spots where I would rather have switchgrass than regen. Any guesses on the chances at getting the switch to establish? There's quite a bit of exposed soil from the skidder and...

Typically I plant my turnips/radishes around July 20-25th, and I get some really big bulbs and leafs. I was talking with someone saying to plant later because you don't want them to get that big, something about they don't taste as good as when they are smaller. I'm leaning towards planting...

I was hanging a stand in a willow tree last summer when a bunch of bee's got stirred up out of the tree. I waited until a frost and went in and hung the stand after the bee's were dead. It's an incredible spot, and this is the only tree we have in the area to hang a stand. The bee's are doing...

I keep hearing more and more about burning your woods. I want to find someone who knows what they are doing and set up a few burns on our property. I would like to burn an area we logged a month ago. I'm in Western Wisconsin, a point in the right direction would be great. I dont do fire, but...

Just want to make sure I won't fry my trees. I'm reading 3/4 oz per acre?

Our biggest hole in the bucket on this farm is lack of cover. Pines are too old for optimum cover, our clear cuts are regenerating, but don't have the holding power I want yet. The tag alders that grow along the creek is the best cover on the property, and a lot of deer utilize it. I believe...

Anybody having or hearing of rages deflecting? I talked with the guy who has a tracking dog that we used on opening weekend, and he said he has had 64 calls to track deer this year and 75% of the calls are using rage broadheads. He mentioned they are having shots that hit a rib and ricochet...

Anybody ever tried planting pompas grass for a screen? Every time I see some driving around it holds up really well, even after winter it is still standing tall. I think it would work really well, just be sure to control it. Once it is established burn it in the spring, and it grows every...

Had this buck show up last year on September 5th and he hung around all fall and winter. Neighbor found one of his sheds. He hasn't shown himself all summer until 2 nights ago, 2 calendar days after I got his first picture last year. I got this pic of him in a bean field. Any...

Anybody else heading out west to chase elk? I never have but was asked to go to Colorado with a few friends First week of September for archery hunting. Picked up a few calls, some uninsulated Danner Pronghorns, and have been watching a bunch of Primos elk hunting DVD's. I've been running and...

This will be our 3rd hunting season at our 105 acre farm and this buck has been there the entire time. My first pics of him came after my first card pull a month after closing on the property. I started calling him "Drop G2" because he bent his G2 in velvet and it almost appeared to be a drop...

Any advice on wireless cams? I have a few spots I would really like to keep tabs on without disturbing it to check cameras. For the most part I put them in easy access locations where I don't disturb things too much checking them every 3 weeks or so, but there are 2 locations I'd like to try...

I'm in the process of building a few box blinds, and I'm stuck on whether I want them elevated for a better vantage point, or if I want them on the ground for easier access and concealed better. If I elevate them it would only be 8 feet off the ground, I would wrap the 4 legs with some type of...

I ordered a Yamaha Viking yesterday, it will be here in a week. Now I need to find a trailer for it. I'm on the fence of whether to buy an enclosed trailer, or a regular open trailer for it. Any experience hauling a UTV with either of them? Will gas mileage be better with one or the other?

I haven't been posting up any of my properties on here, but this one is pretty good. It's a 160 acre property for sale about 10 minutes from Osseo. It's close to the Tremplo/Jackson County Line. It's a solid hunting property. The ridge running through the property is about as good as it...

Found about 10 ticks on my golden doodle tonight after 2 hours of shed hunting. Didn't think the ticks would be out this early, but I was wrong. After getting lymes last year I'm a little more wary about ticks. Anybody have any repellent advice? I'm in the woods almost everyday and feel I...

I'm going to be planting around 4 acres of switch this spring. Some areas will need to be worked up, sprayed, and planted in April or May as I was not able to prep some areas last fall for frost seeding. Other areas I will be planting were planted in corn/soybeans last year. Can I frost seed...

I have been thinking of a way to achieve planting pines or spruce, and not having to wait for 5-7 years before it begins to provide cover. Below is a sketch I put together of combining spruce or pine planting, with NWSG. If you plant either pines or spruce in rows, and NWSG in strips...

If this guy is 1 1/2 he would be an awesome buck to get to 5 years old, then put an arrow through :) This is on our 105 acre farm. This area has better than average genetics, the problem is getting them to 4 years old. They seem to get picked off at 3 years old, but we did get a few 3 year olds...
