    orders for spring

    If I needed more trees I would definitely order from midwest deer. I've been eyeing what folks post on here about their own trees you have on order. You'll be happy. Big dog would be a nice addition to the list. I might be changing my order from mehrabyan. But got (3) farklin ciders on...

    Stuck choke tube

    Use the silver never sieze, not the copper one. Copper can make thing corrode. Used to use motor oil or regular gun oil. Take it out every year. Do alot of shooting? Check the tightness with a wrench from time to time instead of cranking it on tight. Remington's hoke wrench is pretty...

    Best time to fell trees

    IF you need trees down for whatever reason. This is the best time to do it for the deer. They could use the buds on the tops to nibble on. Today I Felled some young black walnuts that will be problems for my apples trees someday. Also, thinned out some red cedars that block the roadside...

    Wheat field

    Rototill can cause the same issue. Old seeds dormant in the field, there's a ton of them. IF you rototill, wait 2 or 3 weeks after you rototill and spray some herbicide on the young weed seeds. Switchgrass planting depth is like clover, 1/4 inch or so. Letting that rortilled field settle a...

    Mine still hanging

    Alot of folks tout liberty as a good tree. When does liberty start dropping and when its close to tuckered out. Looking for 1 or 2 good month of october drop trees for a spot on farmland. Tresspassers are bad rifle season, so I usually only bow hunt there. The other parcel in the area is...

    Buckman Crabapple

    IF you're hesitant to get the tree this year, maybe topwork a branch in a little less brighter spot on a tree like the north side. This will keep that branch wet longer, so you can find out if fireblight or scab is going to be an issue. I believe buckman is a dolgo seedling, they can take bad...

    Muzzleloader Reliability tips

    Mine still hanging

    I got tons of trees and I enjoy making my own grafts over the summer. But midwest has alot of nice crabs there. And on really good rootstock. If his shipping is on par with other guys pricing, his $40 trees are worth it. That tree oaknut is holding up could be a 1 year graft. Thats what a...

    Girlding?

    Cut them in a pile here n there. A they can enjoy the buds this winter as food. Great oportunity to collect sheds in the branches. B. use the fallen trees as windfalls. Hit it now. When the maples start late winter sugaring, the chemicals will not set in. Girdle a top ring, then below...

    Stuck choke tube

    Sure it's rust. Wd-40 is an ok penetrating oil, not the best. But its easy on finishes. Get a really hot wet towel, put it on the outside of the barrel. Take a can of duster, turn it upside down. Spray a shot or two inide the barrel. Tube shrinks, while hot rag keeps barrel warm. Use a...

    Outta Site Blind

    As soon as you're done, you'll love it. Save time an weight, precut as much as you can. USe diesel mixed with motor oil as cheap stain. It'll be fine by deer season if you build it in the summer. Insulation is good and adds cost. Jusd do the floor and behind where you sit.

    Outta Site Blind

    Enclosed blind is the way to go.... Went right from too warm straight to too cold here in NY, atleast it feels like it. 356, What is the deck made out of? I'd be tempted to throw a bit of a 2x4 on the right side of the ladder to help you up and down, Remember with the wind, it's not...

    Food plot progression over the years.

    I seem to be at grains n clovers for 4 or 5 years now. Focus is moreo n soft mast past few years. Wondering what you guys have tinkered with over the years, and why you're where you're at now. I've been trying to shy away from fertilizer use. Bags are getting pricey. Hard enough to keep...
