    Is This Salvageable?

    Brand new June Gold peach tree. Was putting in a limb spreader and split the main crotch. Can I salvage - and best method - or just go ahead and cut off right fork?

    What Habitat Work Did You Do Today?

    Picked my trailer up today. I paid for all materials - new fenders, screws, paint, and treated lumber. Backwoods paint and body guy welded fender on, straightened other fender, sanded rusts spots, painted frame, removed deck and replaced with new boards. Charged me $325. I thought that was a...

    CWD conversations that are worth the time to watch

    I would guess a combination of coyotes, bobcats, and house dogs. But mostly coyotes and bobcats - fawn recruitment is low even in areas a long ways from folks houses

    CWD conversations that are worth the time to watch

    I read where some folks say predators typically do not eat ehd infected deer. I wonder if that is the case with cwd killed deer. I think I did hear in the AR cwd podcast that the researchers did see scavenged cwd deer. I have owned my property for almost 25 years and found two dead deer that we...

    CWD conversations that are worth the time to watch

    Yes - fawn recruitment and excessive doe harvest next to my land - my opinion of course - results in a high local harvest. I was just curious - how many deer do you take off your land and the density remains that high? I also realize your winters are different than ours - and you may well...

    CWD conversations that are worth the time to watch

    100% my opinion. I in no way believe anyone in intentionally killed all the deer in that area. What I do believe is different about AR - that I never hear anyone mention - is the extremely low fawn recruitment rates in this state. Fawn recruitment in the Ozarks - NW AR - averages about .4...

    So the regulations allow you to kill one on a regular license on your property and allow you to purchase two more tags for a total of three deer. No one else can hunt your property?

    Baiting, I know this has been discussed and discussed this is just my rant....LOL

    I believe there are a lot more problems than making it too easy. When I firsts started hunting, it was in Minnesota. There was a one weekend deer season in southern mn. It didnt matter. We were pheasant hunting, duck hunting, squirrel hunting, and rabbit hunting. Now, in AR. We have no...

    CWD conversations that are worth the time to watch

    The AR CWD research podcast has been posted here somewhere. The head researcher actually recommended that the state needed to INCREASE the doe population in the study area. They had left hunting restrictions as is when the five year study started - just to see what effect hunting was having...

    CWD conversations that are worth the time to watch

    I dont, but know a guy who lives in NW AR where cwd was first detected. He said their hunting used to be great but now cant hardly see a deer. The five year research effort in that area confirmed his anecdotal evidence - the study area saw deer density as low as one deer per square mile. That...

    Baiting, I know this has been discussed and discussed this is just my rant....LOL

    I have five grand daughters, four of them hunting. Both their dads are serious hunters and brought up before bait and big deer. All my grand daughters are extremely busy with all sorts of school related activities. This stuff is year round now - much more intensive than when my kids grew up...

    Raccoon trapping

    My Mt Cur treed a lot of them - like said above, low in a tree. He caught and killed just as many on the ground.

    Are the glory days of deer hunting coming to a close?

    When hunting dangerous game, a so called “game scout” from the game and parks commission will accompany every step. Supposedly, to insure there are no infractions concerning the taking of game. However, he carries an AK47 - and Zimbabwe does have a “shoot to kill” law in effect now for poachers...
