Number of deer taken is variable by year, but the answer is - not enough. This year was two does and one buck. There are seasonal shifts to food for sure. My property starts to stack the deer in around the beginning of October and they usually stay until the food is gone, generally December to...

I agree, same around us in WI. Both of my bucks were positive this year in WI, you couldn't tell it by their age or body size. Both were mature. As I've mentioned before, there are areas in SW WI that have (anectdotally) had a problem getting older/mature deer sightings in the past ~5 years...

I mentioned in a subsequent post that my co-workers's children have an open invitation to hunt there. In a few years that will end once my kids are of age. I know that fawn recruitment is a problem for you and you keep your doe harvest limited. In many areas of the upper Midwest, does...

The age structure thing is what worries me the most.

Soil samples? Pretty sure we have 2' of frost in the ground still!

Friends and co-worker's kids have an open invitation to hunt but you know how that goes, no glory in doe hunting so ultimately its a 300% increase in pressure without the pay off.

OK, I am active enough on my land I know how much browse pressure there is. I can't harvest deer according to what my browse survey shows, so what difference does it make? My hunting zone is nearly the size of a whole county, there is certainly nuance within that large of an area. In fact my...

Who is going to complete those? In MN I've had between 20 and 40 deer on my 70 acres nearly every evening in the fall for 12 years. The first few years I lived here I could kill one deer all season in this zone (doe or buck). Then it went to where I could pay $20 for a "bonus" tag for about the...

Ol' Allen has that freak in him

Incredible save that shouldn't be over looked on the way to gold!

What a great game, out matched but not out played!

Of course. Rumor on the street is Monday or Tuesday things may heat up.

Kansas, it's moving west to east

That's good and I'm glad to hear it. Why continue with the bailout then, seems unnecessary?

Thanks for the correction.

The Trump administration has said it, because of retaliatory tariffs from China. "Severe financial losses caused by retaliatory tariffs" straight from the USDA under this administration.

If it wasn't needed, then what was the point, to buy votes before the midterm with American's tax money? Sounds like a Democrat move to me.
