How's your trees doing CrazyEd? Mineare young, but many got 3 to almost 4 feet of growth on them. Soil is rich, but I put 2 doses of lime out there for them this year. 1/2 ton in the sping and a 1/2 ton around labor day.

Jst planted it this year. Pretty sure that one is on anty. Got atleast a 5-7 year wait probably. 1st year or two of fruit won't be typical.

Take a few pears and put it on top of something like a piece of plywood. Get a good idea if the deer like it. Good place to put a trail camera out too. wild pears get huge, the cedars might be a little bedding spot for a doe and her family.

I like the old school. Kinda fell weird putting a DNZ one piece on my glenfield model 30. Looking for a lightweight one. The glenfield used to be my bushmeat gun. Something to walk around camp with. Used to have a Lyman 66 on it. Eyes getting older, but not that old yet. So I put the...

I have several antonovka rootstocks growing to maturity as early trees, as well as a few dolgo's, and a trail man or two. I got more wow'd by january and February droppers than the usual October and early November ones. I do have a few 30-06's and crossbow trees. Likely this year I am...

Looks more like a gala or Fuji than a red delicious. Those are more 1960's and 1979's varieites. There are many different apples out there, around 4,000 cultivated varieties. Many more one off's. That could be a seedling of a apple tree. Could be a shoot from a root of another tree too...

I've divided it up and mixed it in with bags of pelletized lime. Thats my usual. Folks often just add it to their sprayer. Again, no alfalfa expert, but 1/2" seems like a max for me. Oats can go deeper. Firminator is very nice. I'd put the oats in there only. Then after the pass...

my treestand on the AG I hunt is like that. They got a 500 yard run to the neighbors woods and alfalfa field. There's an island of rocks n sumac trees they run to to take a stop and relook around. Popped a few freezer queens right by that island. 175 yards.

See what the end of season deals are. I am ok with my barret, but oldest kid might want a crossbow to borrow. like for decade or two,

I think I messed up a bit at camp, too many later trees. Deer some years leave cam to winter a few miles down the road. This year planting will all be october early november crabapples. Our camp is getting more n more sightings of moose, no clue what they do in the winter up there. Lots...

You have enough land to get nuisance / crop damage permits? MAybe letting another hunter or two come by for early bear could help out too. Might be a new can of worms though.

Be nice to post a pic of those trees. Only got 1 m7 at home on sundance, it's growing like a weed. Stole a bit for scion on m111. Best varieties I have seen localy at home depot is wolf river and honeycrisp. 3 years go they had some liberty, but haven't seen them since.

Anybody have one and go to a fancier one? Not sure what I am missing. Got a xp 370, maybe 3 years old. Mostly hunt AG field edges, so often it's only a 15-20 yard shot at best. Rifle blind to foodplot at home is 30 yards to the plot. Plots is another 50 yards deep, so a 50-60 yard shot is...

Before you go with bigger tires, load the truck up some. When its loaded down, have smeone turn the wheels left and right. Look at clearance while your turning. Thats the most common tire rub issue. Forgot the exact model, but I have some firestone AT tires that came with my used 2019 ram...

You can use a bit of silicone lube spray on the gaskets or clean them with windex then use automotive wax on them.

IF possible after tillage, wait a week or two, then spray a light gly application. Wack those young weeds. You have a cultipacker? Disc, spread oats, cultipack, then spread your alfalfa seed and pack again. You have a spreader that does small seeds well? I use a solo 421, works great for...

At home I have blocks 25x25ft 2 wide 11 long. I also have single row a6ft apart. At camp I have them scattered like yours. Liming with bag spreaders is not fun. I have a tow behnd gandy 3ft drop spreader which works great for rows. Broadcast spreaders make alot of dust, even with...

MY pre plant recommendation was 5 tons / acre of lime. Did about 2-2.5 tons/acre while I was digging the holes for the trees. Been doing 1/2 ton / acre yearly since.

Whats your predominate weeds in the area? Id go for another soil test, especially if your discing. if you need some potassian or phosphorus. MAke sure the soil test includes boron too. Can add boron while spraying.

Whats the coldest big dog has seen? I m wondering if the deer can eat all my apples once they're mature. 39 apple/crabapple, 2 peaches, 3 pears, severla mulberrys too. 6 acre parcel with 1/2 acre and 1/8th acre foodplot. Got 3 in the foodplot right now. Probably have about 10-12 deer...
