I put pollen patties in the beehives yesterday. Pruned about a third of the trees in the orchard today

If you have hogs, make he most of them. Buy a thermal scope

My grand daughters keep my freezer full👍 Way more exciting to me for one of them to kill a deer in a food plot I made.

Haha - dont bother me a bit. Would Be the first thing I was a master at. Unfortunately, most of it goes away starting July 1 when supplemental feeding - outside hunting season - becomes illegal due to a cwd positive within the county. Still wish they would ban baiting completely - like most...

I do a fair little bit of native plant management - especially for ducks but quite a bit for deer. I spray it, mow it, disk it, etc and have even planted some native plants. I dont consider these areas food plots, and wildlife uses most of that ground very well. I consider my food plots and...

I am just the opposite - I would give up deer hunting before food plotting. I spend far more time planting and maintaining food plots, watching them grow, looking at game cam pics from my food plots, etc - than I do hunting. To be honest, I have pretty much quit deer hunting already. I could...

I consider my food plots bait - wheat and apple trees are not native to my area. We have killed far more deer out of food plots than over bagged bait.

Many hunters falsely believe in absolutes. Brassicas attract deer on my land, so they work everywhere kind of thing. Deer management and deer hunting wouldnt be as fun if deer always did the same thing everywhere. In my experience, Ben is correct - mature bucks can be very difficult to kill...

Agree 100%. My life would be so much easier, my bank account bigger, and my deer hunting better - if they would outlaw ALL baiting - and enforce it

I bet back in the 90’s they had very few bears or coyotes. Deer populations in N GA are down significantly, largely due to bear and coyote numbers - that werent there 30 years ago.

Zero. So far, I am not seeing AI cutting, loading, and hauling logs, running chicken houses, taking care of cattle during calvng season, fixing my plumbing, or filling my gas tank with me not getting out of the truck, attaching a new fender or replacing new boards on my 16 ft utility trailer, or...

A season worth of ducks in a week. So now 42 ducks is a season worth? We used to average 120 ducks apiece in a season on public in SW AR. That is how far duck hunting has fallen in AR when you kill a limit everyday for a week during almost record cold - a true anomaly - and probably left your...

The biggest problem I have with baiting ducks - as flooded unharvested cornfields are - are the potential impacts. I can put out bait on my place for deer and affect my land and potentially my bordering neighbors. I probably increase my deer population 25% over what it would be without baiting...

The baiting laws are different for deer and migratory birds, though. It is legal to pour out 500 lbs of corn for deer - but not for ducks - yet it is legal to plant forty acres of corn, leave it standing, flood it - and hunt it. That is not a normal farming practice anywhere I have been. At...

You are familiar with the controversy over duck baiting laws - right. In my opinion, it is more of a cluster than deer baiting

What herbicide schedule did you use - if any?

I have planted milo in mixes before, but have never planted milo solo by itself. Is there any secret to it. I want to use it for deer and ducks - but will the deer eat it all before early winter flooding. I would prefer a shorter milo like WGF sorghum - because of water depth in flooded areas -...

One of my goals it to attract as many does to my property as possible. I try to do the exact opposite of what Jeff Sturgis recommends. I have three spin feeders with their own doe groups. While we dont hunt those feeders, I know the presence of the feeders increases my doe density. I believe...

You can deer hunt with a gun for 86 days in GA. It is kind of hard to tell about KY - maybe slightly less than 40 days including all youth seasons. At any rate, 86 days standard modern firearms season in GA. 16 days standard modern firearm season in KY?

I pulled a tick off my puppy today. We had lows a week ago of 5 degrees - which is cold here. Did not get above freezing for several days. First day after the cold and ice when it got in the mid 50’s, skeeters were out
