I'm running out of what I've been using to shoot nutria in a suburban neighborhood pond setting. I need quiet and accurate ammo. I've been using the CCI Quiet-22 Segmented HP 22 LR ammo. They're 40 grains at 710FPS. I've been pretty happy with them. My shots are usually about 100 yards. Before I...

I was at my mom's today for Easter. I planted this Durana clover 17 years ago. All that's been done is mowing. The whole pasture isn't as thick, but does contain a very large percentage of it.

Has anyone seen this? This is a pretty cool idea. Most of us have done something to encourage native plants/trees on our hunting properties. This is an idea from Doug Tallamy who is the T. A. Baker Professor of Agriculture in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of...

KDFWR just announced a confirmed case of CWD in Ballard County, Kentucky. It was a 2.5yo hunter harvested buck. https://fw.ky.gov/News/Pages/Chronic-wasting-disease-confirmed-in-Kentucky-for-first-time.aspx

My farmer has been planting corn for the last two years on 4 acres. It's been a great draw. We have a deal worked out in which he keeps the corn and puts in a cover crop after harvest. The only drawback is that the cover crop gets in late and leaves a little too much time without much food for...

This fall I'm considering dispersing a bunch of tulip poplar seeds in a stretch I want to screen. I know they grow fast and I know they start shedding limbs as they get taller, but what about coppicing them once they get a few years old? What size do they need to be before cutting and allowing...

Below is a link to Interesting new research by Dr. Johnson at UGA that shows evidence that creating a doe factory IS what you want to do in order to have more bucks. The study took place from September through December on 3 different properties. In September, the does and bucks used different...

I know corn kernels don't contribute much in the form of nutrition besides energy, but has anyone seen nutritional values for growing corn leaves (fresh growing).

I like to keep an eye on the content Dr. Craig Harper puts out. Another member told me about this latest video from him.

I'll admit, I've not bought BOB seeds before just because of the stigma. But, I don't really know if it's always justified. I have bought BOB seeds before too. Some of these companies don't just put generic seeds in their bags. Some of these seeds are specifically bred for the purpose and...

This buck appears to have a missing pedicle. I don't see an apparent injury. The glowing eye would seem to indicate he is not blind on that side. I don't recall this buck from previous years. It will be interesting to see if I get more definitive pics.

I have to basal spray about 1600 trees next month with triclopyr 4/basal oil/blue dye. Where is the best place you've found to buy it? This place seems to have a pretty good deal if you factor in the free shipping. https://www.solutionsstores.com/triclopyr-4-brush-killer-garlon-4

Any ideas on the fastest way to screen this from roadside view, or is this impossible?

I should have taken pics of this trees stem arrangement, but didn't. Can someone id this or narrow it down by its bark. I have quite a few of these trees. I thought sourwood at first, but some are pretty large.

I've never been a big call person, but I found out the dad of one of my daughter's friends at school makes duck calls and grunt calls. So, I got one from him. I thought it was really cool, and it does sound pretty good too. He said the wood was spalted maple. Who knows. I may let my daughter use...

Does anyone do back to back corn? I know it's not normal and back to back crops are usually not done, but I've been so impressed with corn, that I'd love a way to have it every year. Deer have been in it for months. Maybe a crimson clover base with corn planted once it is finished?

Could it stand on its own without them or does your property require them as a major piece of the puzzle?

My 3G Spypoint cellular camera keeps telling me I need to upgrade my camera because 3G service for it will only last until July before my camera stops sending pics. So, I'm looking at what to go to next. I'm cheap, and the Spypoint has worked great for me. But, I'm looking at alternatives since...

If you're into oak regeneration and doing FSI to encourage that in the dormant season, I wanted to share a tip given to me by a forester to make sure I don't kill any oak saplings that I'm protecting. I have a tough time identifying saplings in the winter for some trees.

For those of you who have successfully edge feathered for both screening and bedding, what are some tips you used to promote that?
