I have 3 iron will Wide 100gr heads. All three have been shot into a rhinehart a hand full of times. One has been through a doe and cleaned. The head used on the doe has the slightest break on the tip. This will not affect the head at all. These have been kept oiled and have no rust. Come with...

I’ll add, These fields have never been sprayed with chemicals. They’ve been limed and fertilized but never sprayed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My plans are to spray this field with Gly after a frost or two. Starting from the base of the hill to the back i would like to convert it from the current hay fields into a NWSG/forb/pollinator mix. I don’t really care to disc on the sides of these hills for the sake of erosion control. Can...

Just took a walk to the back of the farm on a hillside that wasn’t mowed. There looks to be sparse little bluestem scattered throughout the whole hillside. Hopefully there’s more throughout the field that was mowed that i just didn’t pay attention to before it was mowed. Sent from my iPhone...

This is the original picture i posted. We’ve had intermittent rain, i wouldn’t say drought though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is how it looks as of today Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can anyone identify these grasses from this picture? It’s all i have of our fields from this summer. My initial plans for this field was to kill all the cool season grasses and allow the natives to come in from the seed bank but I’m noticing our fields are now all brown after being cut in...

Here’s another spot on my farm that I’m considering doing some work to. This one in particular is a ridge top about 60yds wide and 200yds long. It looks like this from one end to the other. 4-6” diameter pines with an occasional sweet gum. On one side is the property like which immediately turns...

I know exactly what you’re talking about and that’s about where this spot has gotten to. If a man got dropped into the middle of it i don’t know that he’d ever make it out in one piece Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s the direction I’m leaning. While there is still plenty of browse around the edge, if you get down on deer level and look into it, not only is it tremendously thick, but there is no browse at deer level inside. I believe cutting trails through it and doing a herbicide treatment will be the...

I’m in East Tennessee. Lots of topography here. I see does pile in the thick stuff but most buck bedding I’ve found is focused around terrain, generally on the leeward side just on the edge or military crest where they have a sight advantage as well as wind direction and thermal advantage. This...

This area was basically a small clear cut on our property 4 years ago on a flat in the head of a long hollow. It’s a great spot for bedding, but I’ve let it get away from me and now it’s a 7’ tall impenetrable wall of briar from this flat about 100yds down the hollow. I can’t find any trails...

Went back and read Dr Harpers write ups as well as tracked down an old students that helped him on some graduate projects. As far as the field management goes, it seems very straightforward. Spray cool season grasses this fall, possibly again in the spring and let it go. I was shocked when Dr...

I can actually access from any direction. The 60 acres to the left of my property i have permission to access as well as the property to the right. The property to the back is an 800 acre lease that i am a part of so i can access from any direction necessary. As of now while the fields are mowed...

In East Tennessee, just west of Knoxville. The fields have been cut by a friend of mine for the past 10 years or so solely to keep me from having to mow it. I do not have any cattle nor do i get any income from the hay so I’m ready to turn the hay fields into something that will provide for deer

Hello all, first post here. I’ve been reading and learning on here for some time but I’m posting now to get some general ideas about habitat improvements for my property. We have roughly 65 acres in East Tennessee. Our property is long and narrow, around 0.6 miles long and 600yds wide at the...
