Cowpeas, no pods Milkweed (not a plot but an observation), 90% no pods yet EW, lackluster Canamaize, do well but for short maturity should have larger ears Clovers, great Spring planted AWP, doing great Fall Brassica, slow germination but doing well now Winter Rye, slower germ start but doing...

For those who hunt public in WI I suggest checking the recent maps because this week I noticed 1000's of acres that were Open MFL last season are no longer listed so my assumption is that they are now going to be Closed-MFL. This has been the trend for a number of years now but it seems to have...

If you haven't checked the meeting results yet you can here by looking up your county. My take was that they are looking to do a statewide ban on baiting, get tighter restrictions on deer farms and give the DNR the leverage to do what they are doing this year in MN...

http://www.startribune.com/dnr-authorizes-special-hunt-to-stop-chronic-wasting-disease-in-southeast-minn/406134986/ I feel bad for those owning land in the area.

While researching some areas to Elk hunt next fall I came across this nice little tool so you can compare things side by side. http://www.hillmap.com/

This is family property so there is only so much I can do here unless I buy it. My son and I will be the only ones hunting it this year to see if we think it's worth buying and putting more work into the habitat. It's full of deer but quality is unknown yet as I haven't checked the camera yet...

Is corn seed supposed to last more than one season? I had some leftover stuff I planted a couple weeks ago that had very few plants come up. I know it was dry for 10 days and then we had heavy frost for two days so I'm not sure if that was it or not. It was just for a couple small strips so it's...

I watched this guy for almost 6 years, it was fun.

I posted in my farm thread but I'm re-posting this here too for those that don't follow. This is looking up from the new food plot area. Question is would you hinge cut the low end of the trees as a visual blockage for deer bedding above (area #4 see farm thread map) or just allow the natural...

I have a small hillside with soil that only goes down 5-6" before you hit rock and I would like to fill this area in with shrubs to act at cover/browse but wasn't sure what might grow in these conditions. The other option would be to plant a small stand of prairie grasses up top.

The show and tell thread for what goes on around my farm. Just finished creating a mini-plot with a water hole right where the ridge pinches in. This year I'm trying a mix of high-sugar ryegrass and WTI clover in this location. This spot lies just South of ridge top bedding that runs...

Has anyone tried getting a resolution to the table? Seems like anyone could do it under the format guidelines. If you wrote one, what would it be? I know I would like to see private land deer season open on 9/1 with public keeping the same traditional date format. That way it's up to the...

http://www.jsonline.com/sports/outdoors/railroad-crossing-bill-moves-down-track-b99672634z1-369566021.html From the Clements Fishing Barge: It would seem that the Senator from Racine, Senator Wanggaard is not going to even let the Railroad crossing bill come up for a vote. I talked with...

Been taking the last couple of weeks to clean up my past mistakes and where I did not have enough time to properly clean certain areas up leaving it too thick. Anyways, one thing I've noticed is that not one single tree I have hinged to be a canopy has been used and my best success being where I...

I was thinking about planting some goldenrod were I am scatter planting spruce. Has anyone purposely planted this from seed? If so how well did it do? I have some on the farm already but not much where I'm planting so I was maybe going to give it a boost.

Interesting article, could this be a factor as to why we're seeing lower deer numbers in many states? http://www.northamericanwhitetail.com/conservation/whitetails-crossroads-crops-contributing-whitetail-decline/

Just trying to get some intel as to what people's success has been if they have a kill plot. How big, what shape or terrain features does it have, is it in ag or big woods, how far was it from a feeding plot or larger ag, how far from bedding was it?

I have a couple large poplar that are wind broke like a hinge cut (little holding wood) but 8 feet up and are hung up on another tree. How do you approach situations like this safely.
