Well this is what I ended up doing. I'll find out tomorrow after his sit if he tolerates it. I think it will help when he sees improvement of concealment, but you never know...Thank you much

I completely agree with the dark curtains and opening only as far as needed. That is what I do. I am trying to find alternatives to this to make the old man happy, he may only have a couple years left hunting. I thought a good alternative Maybe the Privacy mirror. Like the ghost blinds they...

Was this privacy tint or privacy Mirror? I was worried that the mirror may be too dark.

This is what I do. But trying to get dad to cover his big windows is a challenge.

No, just the thin camouflage curtains. He is pretty set about being able to see out of all sides

Has anyone tried using privacy mirror film on their box blind windows? If so, how did it work out — was it worth the effort? My father has to move around quite a bit due to hip and back pain, and the large windows in his blind make it easy for deer to spot even small movements. I’ve already...

I purchased some on sale bareroot apple trees that are leafing out. Leaves are about the size of squirrel ears. Is it okay to prune them as I would a dormant bareroot small apple tree. I usually remove all the branches and cut the stem down to 30 in.

I would try to save the scrawny tree. I have cut back trees like that before with good results. You could cut off the trunk old main trunk just above the lowest shoot and take a few inches off the top of the shoot as well. That would give it a good chance at stimulating growth. Most likely...

Another option would be to plant them this weekend, they would do good in the ground as well

The wand on most tank sprayers should reach 25-30 feet pretty easy. That's what I do with my 25 gallon tank sprayer mounted on back of UTV

Are those fruit trees you have caged in the plot? Is it safe to spray Cleth by apple trees?

I like using turkey loads on them when they are way up high

I am always looking for them, they really go after the oaks that I have released from the aspens for some reason.

Porcupines love my oak trees, and can cause a lot of damage to them. I look for them in the winter when there easy to see in the trees and take them with a shotgun. Anyone have a better way of thinning there numbers?

Yes, I have a bunch seedling apple trees starting to bear fruit and just wanted to check options instead of just grafting over to other apple varieties.

Anyone have any luck grafting other fruits to apple trees? I think I heard it can work with pears, how about plums?

I have gotten the best growth from trees I have pruned aggressively at a young age. Red lines are removing whole branch and yellow lines are heading cuts about half the branch. Cut the top of central leader as well, which may put up 2 to 3 more and prune back to 1 in mid summer. IMHO

Did you end up liking them? They are becoming one of my favorite tasting apples and the tree is clean and thriving in northern WI.

I planted this strip by discing clover. I did not nuke it. It was a blend from deercreek seed, think it was Buck and Birds. I don't believe they have the same mix anymore but similar options.
