Thanks guys! Rain was in the forecast starting at 1am and only had that day to get it all done. All or nothing type of day. I broadcasted and packed the seed as soon I finished disking, and rain started minutes after I removed the equipment and made it back to the cabin :emoji_slight_smile:

New small food plot in pictures

Thanks guys! I’ll use all your advice to improve it. I’d like to get a few years out of it!

One per year for the last two years. Unknown before that.

This is her second year around. Sort of unique to have and maybe she is got some weird cool genes to pass.

Its actually pretty steady as is but I agree that the legs are weak. The board under it’s not connected to the stand, only bolted on both trees and running diagonally under for extra support. I’m planning on adding more crossties and 2x4s to the posts. Also the legs were straightened after the...

Newest tree stand on the farm! Started this one back in the spring and worked on it every other week. Used mostly left over lumber so it is not perfectly squared totally not my fault hahaha. Next trip I’m bringing carpet and couple office chairs and then bye bye until late October. Start to...

Thanks for the responses. Will these scars hurt the tree?

Sorry it took me so long to get these pics. The scars are healing now and closely they do not look like they were chewed but some sort of disease instead. Either way help me figure out what is going on here '][/URL] '][/URL] '][/URL] '][/URL]

Your place is looking awesome. Lots of progress since last time I checked. I wish I was this handy.

There weren't many apples to begin with but there were a few hundred pears. There was not a single piece of fruit left. They weren't even ripe yet.

I placed a camera but it was after all the fruit was gone so I'm not sure the culprit would show. The camera faced the field where the orchard sits and not the tree cage. Since mid September I got pics of opossums, turkeys, an unicorn doe and coons (5 in one pic). Never seen or heard of...

The chewing has been high in the canopy. 4 to 15ft high and they also broke some branches. so it can't be rabbits up there. We have no bears here either. I placed a couple of live traps and caught a few opossums using dog food as bait. Could they be the culprit?

The war is on for the coons Thanks

About a month ago I came back from a week absence to my place only to find that all of the fruit trees were ripped off their fruit, all of it. I did not find anything left out of about 6 trees between apples and pears. Also, damage is showing in several branches as if something chewed on them...

Not that I posted regularly before but I was bbiondo in the old days. Nice to see a lot of the old crew here to keep sharing about the passion that we all have in common.
