I have a black lab pup that is 14 weeks right now. My son and I will be training her to be a shed dog, but our current shed collection is only 2 antlers that are too sentimental to use (my two son’s first sheds) and a few off of a deadhead that I’m hesitant to use incase it trains her to look...

I've been searching this forum and other options for a late dropping pear that is cold hardy enough to handle zone 4B (my place) and 3/4A (a buddy's place that is also looking) and haven't had much luck. I'd like to find something that holds into October and November would be even better. A...

I have 2+ acres of pure reed canary on my place that I've been struggling with. I'm going to keep throwing in some longer cuttings that I've had marginal success with and will continue to plant 100-200 ROD seedlings into it every year, but I'm getting impatient and decided to do ten 20' pockets...

I’m on my second year of planting a brassica plot. Year #1 was the first year I had a plot at all so it took a while for the deer to find it and get turned on to the brassicas. A few would munch on the forage radish, but the real action was after season. I’d have 10+ deer per night on it in...

I'm wondering what others are using for an electric fence to protect a food plot until hunting season. My food plot is roughly .6 acres. I'd like to plant beans in the spring then over seed in the fall with brassicas once the beans turn brown, but I know the beans won't stand a chance based on...

How long can a person store cuttings and how would you go about it? I know it's easiest to harvest them around the same time that you stick them in the ground, but I have a lot more free time now than I will in the spring and I'm trying to maximize it.

I have question about how to best get willow and dogwood established in large open areas of reed canary grass. I have a 4+ acre section of my land that is almost exclusively reed canary grass and I'd like to turn it into a mix of bedding cover and browse. It's a relatively low area (not much...

How big is everyone making their tree cages for hardwoods? I did a search on the forum and found information for conifer cages, but didn't see any info for hardwood. I'm mostly looking for protection from deer rubbing and browsing off the tops of the tree. If they nip off the edges of the...
