It’s possible that if you’ve used it repeatedly over the years that the ferns have become glyphosate resistant. Maybe try another herbicide for awhile. We like tenacity for certain applications.

If you have a business ID that is related to property whether a rental company or farm/ranching related, you should look into a wholesale account with RootMaker. I choose to use amazon as little as possible bc they are so full of Knock-offs of American Ingenuity products.

Good ideas! Was going to also bring my range finder up on a ladder before we start building to check angles & distances for our compounds as well as sight-lines for rifles. (with shoulder issue, crossbow might be in the future-excellent idea with the 3" screw)

Che is now in our plan! Thanks Catscratch for the info!

Not much of a project, but I do want to try collect some hedge apples & harvest the seeds to grow our own. I haven’t heard of Che trees but googled & they sound interesting but prob would need to be well protected in our locale. Do you grow your own?

Willy- that would be awesome! We love the “double slider window” idea too. Sadly, the few Osage we have, we won’t want to use, that’s a future propagation project. My Mr was at Milford for building so he’s more “solid bones” & I’m more the “ special features” but we wanted some input bc these...

Yes I’ve used them before- great niche market & solid products.

I’ve hunted out of a few shooting houses but am usually spot & stalk, however this property needs a shooting house. None of the shooting houses I’ve been in are what I would consider comfortable. I’m not a princess but my time of hiking in 2 miles off trail end to bow hunt elk in the snow at...

Octagonal shape is definitely in the running stylistically size is approximate due to two 4x8 plywood sheets being an east size to build in from. Have used the tinted deer view before, vertical bow & horizontal rifle & was very happy. Like the blackout curtains behind to prevent silhouetting...

We remodeled an old shooting house that had garbage windows & put in deer view tinted. Very nice set up. We are actually looking at camo window films for the backs of pickup trucks to cut & out & use on the outside of shooting house windows. Wonder if anyone else has tried that & has an...

8x8 bc we are together a lot of the times & will soon have grandkids coming with us. We also want to be able to have “sleep overs” in order to not be loud walking in with kids. Room for spotting scope set up to give them more to do as well. We had windchills in single digits during landowner...

Now that would be some trick to wake up if dead! But I get your point, the venting I hadn’t thought about was for condensation bc we are humid. But yes, venting for fumes is very important too! 👍🏼

Yes Tin & spray foam insulation for us too.

Good idea thanks!

Thanks!! Stairs are a yes & like one we’ve seen here, partially inside if not all inside. Indoor outdoor Carpet and insulating the floor are great ideas! We use armless wheeled office chairs that spin & have cushioning.

Thanks- Screws, plywood, & metal siding are a definite. We had talked about the roof overhang in regards to sunlight during bow season so that will help with rain as well & with the angle we will put the roof, it will keep runoff from muddying the entrance. Great thought on venting, hadn’t...

So before we even start to rough out plans for building a shooting house I thought I’d ask the forum here for “must-haves” and “avoids” when building our 8x8 shooting house in SE NE -windy whether hot or cold. We will be using pressure treated wood, tin-wrapped legs and will have either a small...

No offense taken:) I got what you were saying, but I personally put hunting over direct bait in the same category as deer dogging. Don’t like either, but won’t go there in this thread ;) As for your distant friend, shame the government looks at that when there’s so many other egregious offenses.

We don’t refill the kabob about 2 weeks before we hunt. NE state law is 10 days.

We've done it 3x now and this guy is the one that likes them the best but the woodchucks/raccoons made plenty of appearances too.🙃
