Been many moons I've been working on this habitat stuff. Learned a lot of lessons, and nearly all of them the hard way. I've quit doing lots of things I used to do.
What have any of you quit doing, or found a better way to do since you started this hobby?
I can throw a few starters out there:
I quit fertilizing
Bought a four wheeler
Upgraded wheel barrow to a polar trailer for wheeler
Upgraded to a blower seeder
Upgraded to riding lawn mower
I about never spray anymore. (I did spray to kill quack in a new plot last year, and have one to do this year)
I quit buying trees
I buy mulch by the 10 yard truck load
I quit hunting from ladder stands
I built my own power plant of which Foggy is completely jealous
Started using the no-gutting/no-skinning method / Moved my butchering operation 100% indoors
Kept working on fixing my trails until they were clean, smooth, dry, and connected
