No, it's not mine. Things would be very different if it was mine. I can probably talk to my uncle and get it sorted. I've seen 7 deer so far, but man are they skittish. The pumps shut off an hour ago, and it's amazing what I can hear now.

Well I was having a nice morning sit in Ohio until some jerkoff came and started pumping the oil wells. The entire forest sounds like industry instead of the peaceful silence of nature.

They look good, just a bit young. Release those skinny walnuts, and let them put on a bit more girth. If you take down some lesser quality walnuts in order to release the nice ones with clean logs, you can cut them into rifle stock blanks or even pen blanks and sell them online. It won't...

Totally depends on circumstances, but I get really disappointed if I go a full day without seeing a deer, no matter where I'm hunting.

No, I don't have enough experience to have a favorite. I do think a blend is better than a single type. Someone above mentioned Managers Mix. It's probably what I would try next if I can get ahold of it. I just buy from Merit because I can go there to pick it up.

Can you elaborate on that? I'd like to know everything he has to say on the subject.

Great stuff. Congratulations on all your success.

Sounds like a good idea. Just plan to have the beans as a summer plot, and any pods that form are a bonus. Plan to broadcast a fall plot into the beans after summer. This gives you the best of both worlds. Road screen is a good idea. Then add a bunch of Milo to provide late season food as...

I wouldn't object to a shooting test for rifle hunters. We do it every year in Norway.

Looks good. How was it? Are you a new convert or a long-time shank admirer?

Rut is more or less over in Ohio, it seems. Smaller bucks are forming groups and devouring food.

Allow year-round hunting and trapping of raccoons. Or... Mandatory annual shooting test for all archery hunters.

Yes. Probably because at the places I hunt the deer are not used to hearing or seeing such vehicles.

Sounds good. Grab some scions.

Pretty neat! What's the flavor like?

The different plants will mine different types of nutrients. The different root structures wil help the soil structure. Adding legumes, especially annuals, will add much-needed nitrogen. Having a diverse mix will help ensure there is something the deer will eat.

I wouldn't go simple in the b ginning. I would do the most diverse mix you can get to germinate.

I think squirrel hunting might be my favorite type of hunting. My ideal weapon is a shotgun with a red dot sight and size 5 steel shot. My uncle prefers a super-accurate .22 with subsonics and takes headshots. I like fox squirrel braised in a white wine sauce, but there are literally...

You can use that pressure to your advantage. You should be scouting that public area to learn as much as you can about it and how it affects deer in relation to your property. I consider each day scouting worth about 10 days of hunting. If rifle season is open, you can scout and hunt that...

Amazing looking property. I would rent a springtooth harrow or some kind of cultivator and rip through the thatch and get down to the dirt. Then plant a diverse mix that includes at least some daikon radish and annual clover. You could buy an implement and sell it after if you can't find one...
