When do the bucks start hanging out in bachelor groups? I changed camera cards and I have a video from March 30 with four deer in a group and they all look like they have antler nubs starting. Is that possible?

Read an article today about a company that's developing an oral medicine to kill ticks when they bite. Similar to what you would give your pet. The low dose effectiveness was above 90% and could last 30 days after taking it. It doesn't prevent the diseases the ticks carry but actually kills...

Soooo ... I put in a new outhouse last summer. Buried a 200 gallon tank, poured a slab over it and put up an enclosure. I'm wondering if it would be a good decision to throw some sawdust in and try to get some composting going. My old outhouse I threw lime in to keep the stink down. This tank is...

Has anyone used the polymer root dip for moisture retention? I'd like to plant about 10 to 20 oak seedlings next spring in a spot that would be hard to get water to. I was thinking of using the root dip and mulching to help them through the first year.

Has anyone here had to deal with this invasive? I've got a small patch started an I'd like to get rid of it as soon as possible while it's small.

Has anyone ever heard of a hormone/pheromone dump from deer when they've been shot or at the spot where they died? I thought I've read somewhere that this happens and other deer are alert to the area. Last year I shot a doe on one of my food plots and never got another deer on camera at that...

Stopped at the local seed store to pick up my soil test results the other day and got chatting with the owner. He bragged up a product called Humisol as the first step of a four step process for food plots. So I get curious and look up Humisol and find out it's a form of Humic Acid. Anyone have...

For the past 3 years I've had a bad infestation of unwanted plants in my food plot. Three years ago it was Marestail, last year it was Timothy and this year it's Devil's pitchfork. Is this just a natural progression and how can I fight it? I've been applying lime and then I disc the plot and...

Do any of you fellas use security boxes with your cameras? First trail camera I bought was for bear hunting and I used a security box and just continued using them on every camera I've bought since. But I just ordered a Garde Pro that you've talked me into and I'm wondering if I should get the...

Got my brassica mix planted two weeks ago and it's up and looking good. Everything I've read says to hit it with 100#/acre of urea at about 4 weeks. Do I have to worry about burning the plants when I apply the urea? Should I wait until next month to broadcast WR in the brassica plots? Do I need...

Does glyphosate go bad with age, lose its effectiveness? I mixed up some gly 3oz/gallon and sprayed some ferns a week ago, checked them today and they laughed at me. In the past when I used that same mixture from the same jug of concentrate it smoked the ferns.

Getting ready to do a fall brassica plot. I have very limited equipment, ATV, disc, ATV spreader and that's it. The plot isn't very big, about 9500 sqft I already sprayed with gly two weeks ago. Should I spread lime, about 500#, then disc wait 2 weeks and spray again? Then broadcast the...

Tick season is upon us and I know about using Permethrin on clothes. Has anyone tried or even heard of trying Bifenthrin? I bought some Bifenthrin last year to get rid of some yellow jackets under my porch and was thinking maybe I could use it on my clothes too.

I just started trying my hand at making venison summer sausage. First batch turned out pretty tasty. The only problem I had was getting the pork fat mixed into the venison. The grinder I have was a foolish purchase at Harbor Freight years ago when CWD was first found in Wisconsin. The thing is a...

What do you fellas use for training the branches on your trees? I'm looking to train the branch angles on my apple and pear trees and I've seen cement weights, water bottles, clothes pins etc. What seems to work best for you? I've been using shortened pieces of branches that I pruned off as...

Should I buy factory made surfactant for spraying or is it OK to dump some liquid dishsoap in the sprayer? I'm using a backpack sprayer and not doing very large areas.

Any Wisconsin land owners enrolled in the DNR's DMAP program? How much value do you see in it?

Didn't want to hijack the thread about screens and sun scald, so here's my question. How much coverage should I have when I paint my trees? Should I paint down inside the tubes? Here's what I put on last weekend when the temps were warm enough.

Any of you fellas use a headlamp for tracking at night? Looking to get a good one, got some recommendations?

Has anyone here ever made a blind from a plastic resin yard shed? My BIL is looking at a Suncast brand 7x7 yard shed for a hunting blind. He wants to put it up on a platform about 6 feet high and make some sliding windows for shooting out of. Good idea or crazy idea?
