Where's Don??? He would be telling you that deer will eat what we think are undesirable plants. Those tall stems give deer some cover and comfort that might just keep them walking through during hunting hours. Considering they are in there, why mess with it? You're not planning on putting a...

When it comes to my property I don't have a ton of time to try different things. I'm not even sure how to say this without sounding stupid... My place is far enough away from home that I try to ensure what I'm doing gets "done" when I have the chance (meaning - it works but it might be a bit...

Right after spraying some gly on the field, I got this new visitor. Always cool to see.

I'm hoping that under this buckwheat my clover is quietly growing. A month ago:

I've had such terrible luck with planting over the years that I've started earlier and earlier. This year I'm just trying to get back to clover and leave it. My filed is the only one around for miles in the big woods so I get a ton of browsers in there. So planting has been a challenge to get...

Not everyone gets it but man I am all "fired up"! The work I did, mixed with some rain really looks to be paying off! My trail cam has been sending me pics and I've watched this field come back to life based on my planting efforts. I rarely hunt this field, maybe once or twice early season when...

I just wish i would have left it. The other atuff i planted gets hammered before it can mature or it doesn't grow. The clovee ha dles the browsing I get well.

I hope not.

One exhausting day in the field!

I used Glysophate. I wish I hadn't. But I just did it again (mainly to kill competition) and re-seeded with Crimson and White...

I have regretted for 2 years that I burned off my clover (chemically). I'm focused on trying to establish it again. I'll be seeding my field this weekend actually as we're finally supposed to get some rain. 2 weeks ago I sprayed all of the crap in my field (and I mean just unwanted weeds were...

Kind of "off topic". I'm in the process of restoring my clover field. About 3 years ago I had a beautiful field that was almost looking like the pic on a seed advertisement. Then I decided that I wanted to plant a brassica mix so I sprayed the plot with some Gly. WHAT A HUGE MISTAKE! I have...

I have 2 experiences... I made a clearing in my woods at home and just cut the trees level with the ground. We're talking mixed hardwood and bigger trees 12"+ in diameter. Eventually they just rotted. I cut them down as close to the ground as I could get and I was able to go right over them...

A sharp chain and a reliable saw. after that, unless this is your livelihood I suspect things don't matter as much (I can be 100% wrong here and might just be making myself feel good by saying that). My saw was a gift from my dad (it's a craftsman). Saw blades need to be sharp and usually...
