Any new experiences with Jerusalem artichokes? I like them as a garden plant. I'm thinking about using some of the extras to establish screening and perennial food for deer. Anyone have any new experiences since this thread was started?

That's what I use. It doesn't anchor big coyotes as well as soft-points, but I've never lost an animal with them, so I keep using them. For me the most important thing is avoiding over-penetration, and they are great form that.

That's how I see it. Syria, Gaza, and Yemen are experiencing nightmare conditions because of Iran. Israel and Saudi Arabia were on the brink of a peace deal, which Iran derailed with the Hamas attack.

I've been hunting and fishing in Mongolia. Back before I met my wife, I dated a Mongolian gal for a while. The fishing can be amazing if you get away from other people. A lot of Mongolians don't seem to know the difference between the river fishes, and I saw people keeping taimen under 18"...

Was it in Nashville?

Where?

Btw, I don't have those burping lids for fermentation jars. I use an improvised bag of water made from plastic wrap. It sits on top to prevent air contact, while letting the gas bubbles roll up around it.

Any clean glass jar will work. You can get a case of Ball jars at Rural King for $17.

Do you have a juicer? All my leftover vegetables, including greens from carrots, radish, etc., and I freeze the juice. Then I can have a small glass of juice a few times a week in the winter and get the nutrients I would otherwise be lacking. I throw the pulp in the compost bin.

Cat food, marshmallows, and sardines.

Ours plugs into the wall.

Is he really pulling ICE from Minneapolis, or is it just a head fake to get the protesters to move on.

Been trying to track down a TX22 for months. While checking the local gun stores for a new AR grip, I found out one of them just got one of the TORO models that has a threaded barrel and is optic ready. Couldn't let the opportunity pass my by.

I started using hunting deodorant.

No, we're supposed to believe that humans could. Scrapie didn't infect cattle, until it did. There are several different types of prions. Because prions jumped 4 species in order to get from goats to humans, the risk that prions could jump from deer to humans is not an unreasonable fear...

Would that not make the problem worse? If the deer is living longer, would it not have more time to infect other deer?

You can get a valve and alarm unit that will shut off the water and beep like crazy. We have one under the fridge. It's basically a cord with insulation removed in spots that shorts when it comes into contact with water. It won't clean up the mess, but it will prevent it from becoming...

Redmond salt is the one I put out as well. I put goat mineral with the salt in Ohio, but not in Ontario. Where I hunt in Ontario, the bedrock is dolomitic limestone, so the soil tests revealed very high calcium and magnesium there. I have toyed with the idea of dumping goat mineral or cattle...

They have to. Imagine the mess that would create if baiting wasn't allowed. I don't think those lists are particularly important, and I mostly disregard them. I couldn't even tell you what the threshold is for entry.

I've never fallen asleep while hunting. In fact, I'm more likely to be fidgeting in my seat trying to get comfortable. I think there's a good balance between comfortable enough to focus on hunting while not so comfortable that you feel like falling asleep. I like an office chair or an old...
