honeycrisp x enterprise will be off patent soon too. One that caght my eye was big deer from SLN. Good crabapple found from planting 100 sweetango seeds.

Should have a 2nd option. Do you own or lease. Some big acre answers may be lease. I own 6, play around on the field edges of 430 acres of family AG spot, maybe more 1000 including his farm at his residence, and then part of a club that lease 650 acres from a logging company that leases...

Think prices will tank on things soon. Already seeing it with classic cars. Prime top dollar things will be right up there. Real fancy guns like citori's real old 19th century guns. but the jewel in the eye of the average joe, that stuff will go down in value. LEss expendable $$$ for the...

Not an ideal plot, but I have sping planted oats, turnips, and clover and had it survive into hunting season that year. IF I had several years of failed fall plots I be doing that again. I had my august planted fall plots fail at camp this year. I reseeeded one plot mid spetember and some...

Some tree places say to use woodchips / mulch without a weedmat. It keeps the critters out of the mulch. Sort of gives them a nice tunneling area. Stone might be not needed. I had about 1/2 of a row of plum trees get girdled by voles when I started out doing this. MY real problem was not...

Not many true blue spruces out there. Often white spruce is sold as blue spruce. They get some sort of black needle cast fungus. Fungicidal tretment in the spring would probably fix them. White spruce have less problems with that fungal disease. I got heavier clay soil at home. White...

Alot of love for those coppers if you want to put them on gunbroker. I like a gun that makes a solid hit on game. Used to do the 20ga slug gun thing for a few years. Never quite happy with my groups. Went to the 450 marlin and been happy for many years. Now my bad neck disc cant handle to...

Just saw this was 4 years ago. Natty is still active on here.

Those worked great in my factory remington cantilever barrel. MY gun also like the lightfield hybrid slugs too. Might be some lead fouling, but worth trying. Also, you can reload your own saboted slugs too. I annaully go thrugh my ammo boxes and I'm due. Usually recharge the dessicant in...

I ask santa for a bag of clover.........

adding fertilizer and pelletized lime is ok. Adding too much is not ok. You can go to your spots now and add lime to those areas. 2 tons / acre of lime into 6 in ch deep soil is 1/10th of lb per cubic feet. 200 lbs of fertilizer per acre at 6 inches deep is 1/8th of an once per cubic feet...

I wanted to buy a flashlight to go with the shotgun I am giiving the youngest one here. A streamlight and a cheapie basic one so the good one stays with the shotgun. I picked this one up at home depot for $20. HAs green and red lights too. Thought it would be good for a fellow hunter on your...

Im guessing spotted latern fly's probably get killed with malathion too. Not very high on the nasty level for pesticides like some others are. Get a extension wand for your sprayer. Could esily reach up 10-12ft up the tree with it. I went semi-pro with a backpack sprayer and a milwaukee...

I would of bought him that Winchester. However, oldest kid wanted to pick it out. Paid double that for a mossberg. Might need a 12ga if all the kids got em. They still make browning bps shotguns

You get a deer this year sandbur? No -28, 27 here in NY but a bit too windy for the deer liking. Got till tuesday, then the day after christmas until new years for more muzzleloading. Not sick of the cold yet.. I can drive 2 hours and take my flintlock for walk in PA till mid january or end...

Nice buck. Nice muzzleloader too. What kind is that one? Got regular iron or those fiber optic ones? Open areas I normally use one with regular open irons. More wooded places I use a lyman peep sight with the front sight painted in glow in the dark paint. White isn't so great, shoud paint...

Nice walleye. My best chance for walleye is the lower niagara river in Naigara Falls. Sometimes go there for training at the power plant. Wife likes New Years there. Probably doing that this year. I use spoon n spinner for steelhead and walleye is a bycatch. Usually toss em back since I...

Got the flu last weekend of regular muzzleloading here in NY. Window hunted from home. Just another day for the rye/clover doe factory, mom n 2 kids. My home doesn't have a ton of land, so I use the scoped omega. Make sure I hit em good. What are you PA folks using for flintlock season...

Nobody needs hunting land really. People want it, your parcel looks nicer than the other guy's, he will not mind paying the extra money. Helped a buddy put a foodplot in and some mild improvements to hunt there. New owenrs liked the house, but kept talking about the foodplot out back. Even...

the neighbors pay land tax on your bedding is good. You can be less quiet on your land. I would focus on a good seclusion route from those thickets to your property. Like a maze of spruces that you can run a mower though the maze once a year. Could mix in some dogwood in thee too. Little...
