So I’m on the hunt for an exact location for the future mini orchard. Last time I asked here about location for the sake of some preliminary info I was told an area that was slightly higher in elevation to prevent being in a possible frost “zone” I believe was the term. Also if I remember...

So I came across this video on none other then Facebook. Figured I would share it here. This guy has a set on him. That’s for sure.

So I’ve been gone cutting to some extent for quite awhile now. Now on my own property I’ve startesd ast year and the deer responded better then I could hope. I’ll hinge a bit more this offseason in the same areas as well. We know that getting sunlight to the forest floor rejuvenates the...

So I planted 60 3’ Norway’s spruce trees around the house for screening from the neighbors (less hey know the better) 43 of these trees did exceptional. They put on new growth. Filled out. Textbook results. I also have some that didn’t make it bc they are brittle and dry and snapped easily. The...

I’ve been hesitant of shooting this deer if given a solid opportunity. Part of me wished he never showed up and part of me knew he was a good first buck to take on the property. Well today he came out and stood 45 yards away while my muzzleloader was in hand. I took him. It’s bittersweet bc...

Just wondering for those who have property in a TSI program, how high or low do you leave your cut stumps? Last year I cut em off low. I know there’s no real right answer but I may leave them waist high or better this year when the saw comes out. Is one better or worse for promoting stump...

So I plan to add quite a few Norway’s this year. They do well in my area (Northwest NJ). I’m going to scatter them throughout the bedding area that I started last season and will improve as soon as season ends Jan 31st. I also plan to line/circle the perimeter of this area to act as a...

So for those that have read other threads. I planted an old access trail section of the property. I used the mix pictured below. It germinated within 3 days and we have had excellent rainfall ever since. Sun is currently my limiting factor. When using other varities of turnips I typically would...

2 weeks since broadcasting seed. Winter grains right at 6-7” tall. Brassicas are doing well. And looks like some clover starting to poke it’s head out. What do you see?

So in the thread I have with land tours that I’m slowly updating as I go I mention there that we got the first food plot since purchasing the property finally planted. The mix can be found in that post. I didn’t get pictures from the actual day that we had the tractor and rake in there but...

First year as a new property owner. Lots of blood sweat and tears. Soil isn’t the greatest but got all the amendments down as per soil test results a few months ago. Seed has arrived. Yeah it’s too much seed but it’s a slope and I want to seed more heavily and keep a certain amount on reserve...

Somehow I managed to lose the link to the soil temp maps. Can anyone just link it here quick for me? Thanks

So If this damn seeping pond ever dries out (nonstop rain for couple weeks) I plan to seal it with bentonite. How much will I need? I’d say it’s roughly 25 yards by 25 yards give or take.

So it’s avout that time. I have a vernal pool isn’t the woods that holds snow melt and heavy rainfalls till this time of year. It simple dries up and seeps out the bottom. Well it’s about fully dry now. I plan to get in their with the mini excavator and see if I can get it a foot deeper and then...

So last year I was so busy with the home purchase that I only hunted three days in September. Got a doe and my season was done. Buying and selling and all the crap involved burned all my time. Anyway the season before I shot a good buck. While he was dying I had a droptine buck with stickers...

Just curious to see who here builds there own strings/cables. And a couple other questions. 1.) what jig are you using? 2.) what serving tool do you use? 3.) what product would you improve on? 4.) if you don’t build you own....what’s stopping you Odd questions and topic I know. I’ve been...

Now that i have my own land one of the things I wanted was a simple target stand. I wanted a big face to shoot. I hunt with a compound and picked up a longbow again this spring after getting away from the traditional side for awhile. I also shoot field archery. So the ability to have a big...

First year owning the property. First camera set over the mineral I established in late March. First bucks on camera. Gotta get some more cams out in the next week or so.

So central air has run fine the past two weeks. Last night, nothing. Getting a hum and dimming lights every couple minutes. Being an electrician I’m thinking could be a capacitor in the unit. Fan on the unit outside works fine. Filters on the unit look fine. Air is being drawn up into the system...

What are you guys doing. I have a spring plot on a lease that I have. Getting ready to get clover in for this fall. I planned to get the clover broadcasted around mid August. Should the WR be done same time or should I wait a couple weeks to around labor day? Or should I do it all around Labor...
