    Sick Deer?

    Thanks for the responses guys; haven't seen the deer in person but might have a sit on a field one evening to try and get a glimpse. Maybe the lighting is making it look worse too.

    Sick Deer?

    This is the first deer I've ever seen on my property in PA that looks sick like this - what's the possibility of it being CWD/EHD? Anyone ever have just a lone sick deer and have it not affect the herd? The area I'm in is pretty far from any confirmed CWD cases but seeing this worries me

    Prescribed Fire Threat to Mature Trees

    Thank you natty, some units of my property I've been doing TSI which has left a lot of debris around/against standing trees. I'm thinking of doing prescribed burns and then doing TSI immediately following in the units i haven't touched yet and cleaning up around trees I want to save in units I...

    Prescribed Fire Threat to Mature Trees

    What's been everyone's experience doing prescribed fire in areas with mature maple, black cherry, aspen, beech, hemlock, and yellow/black birch? That's what my property mainly consists of and I'm worried if I attempt a controlled burn it will kill my mature trees since they're not "fire-adapted"...

    I'm creating a habitat management reference document for the members of this forum. I need your help first.

    Vote to add American Mountain Ash to the list! Just got notification that the 15 I ordered have shipped I've sporadically had a habitat/deer management list on my computer too - helps to keep things somewhat organized

    Tree Planting

    I've never trimmed the roots - if they're too long I just open the hole up a bit more, never had any issues but interested to see what others say

    Green Giant Arborvitaes

    My parents have arborvitaes at their house in the suburbs and they're bare from 4' down - the deer eat them so they look ridiculous. I guess if you have a lower deer population and more browse for them to eat to stay away from the arborvitae they would be great

    Pochuck Land Tour

    Wild Turkey population is tanking across most of its range

    Glassing for elk in Idaho this past year I had a tree land within 5 feet of me; I was lucky I didn't have my headphones in I heard it starting to pull out of the ground and had time to jump out of the way if I needed to. Never can be too safe in the woods

    Grafting Bradford pears

    Pardon my ignorance but aren't Bradford Pears invasive? Are their fruit any better than normal pears?

    Turkey Strategy

    I feel like we always hear about deer hunting strategy: hunt downwind of bedding areas, pinch points, etc etc etc, but we don't often talk about turkey strategy. I've only been able to kill two birds: one by dumb luck in Texas and the other calling in a mid-afternoon Tom that was so fired up...

    Let's See Your Hunting Knives

    A little tricky to get to but my guide was able to get them without dealing with most of the guts. If you search it up on youtube there should be videos on how to do it. I'm still going to be doing the standard gut-skin-quarter for whitetail though; the gutless method is only better if you're...

    Let's See Your Hunting Knives

    Yea my guide used the "Gutless method" so he skins along the back, takes the backstraps and quarters without having to deal with the guts at all. Very popular in the west but less so in the east
