They dont clean them out completely. Used to hinge cut. Still do a bit, but focus on making a good bedding spot. LAst one I made hinge cut ontop of a few stacked logs to finish out a windbreak. I make a west and a north corner and a slight southern one. Covers the wind mos of the time...

I got some dolgo scion from turkey creek scion sale last year that was touted as later dropping dolgo. Wondering if thats big dog or not. Got it growing on a toringo, but will probably trim a bit off and graft onto a P18 this year.

swisher ones are pretty good. I'd spread fertilizer if I had one. Handle years of salt on pickup trucks plows.

I'd spray that, when things start to warm up. Doesn't need to be 65, but does need actively growing plants. And plants big enough to stick out of the thatch

Must be a pretty good dolgo to stil have fruit on it.

Used to be my muzzleloading season trick. Cut a few makes last 2 or 3 days of rifle season. Come back in a week or two and cut the high branches down lower, or do that off the bat.

Signal fire on m111. Was a twig in 2023

Liberty looks like a good one far as midwest's chart. I got 3 galarina's at home and 1 galarina on the farmland parcel I rifle hunt nov/dec. I can probably squeeze in 2 trees at the farmland I bow hunt. Debating the roostock for there. Got m111, g890 and p18 coming. Might just add a...

How does the 14 look and hold up? I thought 11 was the common gauge size. I use 10 feet of 4ft fence and works pretty good. A little nibble here n there, but central leaders out of 45 or so trees all have been good. I bought some surplus ends from a local hobby farm. Probably 500ft...

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...

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...

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...

what do you have for equipment sandbur? Have your vehiicles bring the water. Maybe not the best employee in the world. I call in sick when there's a dorught at camp....... My problem is my trees are too close to the main road. However, I plant where there's plenty of light and a...

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...

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...

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...

I spend a decent bit of time shooting muzzleloaders all year long. I do blackpowder competitions a few times a year. I probably shoot muzzleloaders 20 times more than centerfire guns. A few basic tips for modern ones. Clean your breech plug with a drill bit. Find a drill bit with the same...

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...

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...

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...
