Not really sure....ask Native Hunter....he will know. Some trees I can id in the winter, while others are more of a challenge. If I am not sure....I just wait until they leaf out and then try to ID it then. If the leaves are too high to see well or clearly...use Binos. I have even taken...

So I am making this post in response to some questions I have received in the past regarding posting some of the images I do. It typically goes like this..."How do you draw on your pics and post them?" I will be honest in that I am NOT the most computer literate person around....I just use...

Anyone familiar with Sam Bilhorn or Whitetail Partners consulting out of Wisconsin? I stumbled across him and was curious if anyone here has any knowledge/experience with him/them.

I just made a post on my property tour about how I have worked some willows on my place that may give you some pictures to go with my suggestions...

I was also looking at some of my "edges" as well. I like to use edges to help my property feel bigger and to expand my cover options and offerings since they are so limited. What to avoid...with a "hard edge". Here you see an abrupt transition of "cover" to no cover. Here you will see an...

Took a walk today.... Here is how I took a single stem willow and over time, I have since turned into a shrub. Bringing cover done to the deer level and going from a single stem to 100's. This area is where I took several willow "trees" and have reset them as well. Cut them to the ground...

If you have black willow and if you cut them back they will stump sprout like crazy with multiple stems. I prefer to put/make brush piles/screens with what I cut down. I would suggest cutting in rows or small sections and space it out over a few years to keep them at different stages. The...

Indiana was a slug only state for a LONG time. Then they opened it up to "pistol cartridge rifles" and now most common centerfire rifle bigger than .243.... I have not seen much of a change in the way I hunt as most shots are still 100 yards or less. I will say that a slug puts one hell of...

Of all the ammo shortages I saw a few boxes of 25-06 the other day at the store and thought...."who the $%#^ shoots that?" Funny....

It was interesting watching it the first time. At first I was like, "what sort of ragged little buck is that?", then he had a buddy that got a little bigger, and then another buddy, and then more and bigger and it was like a buck parade! If it wasn't a video and not seeing them move and...

Might be...typically shed season here is pretty poor. Them bucks live on the neighbors place, and visit mine. They have all/most of the cover...I have the food. I'll certainly keep an eye out for them though.

Depending on the situation (if you own the and or not) I would put out the little marking flags (the little wire ones the utility companies use) and mark where the edge should be. I know my local farm retail store has them in different colors in bundles of 100 for a reasonable price. And...

The most bucks I have ever caught in a single video.... Card pulled earlier this evening.

This came off my cam today... I thought bucks didn't group back up for a while yet.....

Shelves here are pretty barren as well. Unless you are looking for some pretty odd ball stuff. I was able to get in on a delivery thru Midway USA a few weeks back on some 5.56....but am anxiously waiting for another opportunity. You know hard it is to post about this and not get on some...

I I do, but I have a low deer density and thus how it grows beyond the reach of the deer. I would suggest you take measures to ensure that when you do cut it back that you don't simply allow the deer to destroy it. I would either trim back only half the plant, trim back half of the plants...

You will find that elderberry can grow out of the reach of deer over time in low density areas. Just give it a hair cut and bring it down to within reach again. I have a decent amount of it and it seems to like damp soil conditions with a decent amount of sunlight.

So I have some smaller field buffers....ranging from 30' to 120' wide. Mine mostly have a mix of native weeds and switchgrass in them...so the grass itself gets to about 5 feet tall or so during hunting season. The few times I have had to track deer thru it, or into it...you simply have to...

I just tossed this together so it's by no means a plan....but it will get you thinking and shows some ideas you may like. So the like "X" areas is where I create some blockades to control deer movement. We need to "push" those deer to venture deeper into your property. The red lines are...

Where is your access point? Is using the river/large stream tot he east an option for access? Is the large area that appears to be grass in play - is this area on the table for habitat work? What ag crops tend to grow North, South and East of your place? How do you like to hunt? You bow or...
