    What motivates you as a habitat guy/land manager?

    Lol, that's a good one! To be honest there are quite a few beer bottles under tree cages on my place. Not much better than going for a long run, grabbing a beer, then walking the orchard and plots to cool down. Beer is about as close to drugs as I get.

    Encouraging Article on CWD in Missouri

    CWD was first documented in Colorado about 60 yrs ago. It's been around a loooong time. As with any disease there are likely individuals genetically predisposition to have some level of tolerances. In my opinion killing all deer in an infected area is likely killing any chance of natural...

    So What Happened to Ne Neighbor Thread?

    In real life I think the guy did all the right things concerning his neighbor in making an effort to get ahold of him and discuss the situation. The thread got really weird though.

    So What Happened to Ne Neighbor Thread?

    Well, a guy had a neighbor hire a crew to clean a shared fence. The guy asked about how to approach the neighbor about it as they cleaned on his side of the fence also without asking. People gave answers, he got agitated, everyone else got agitated, turns out a bunch of us are CRYBABIES and...

    What motivates you as a habitat guy/land manager?

    Love to tinker and make things better. I'm a yard guy and that kind of extends to my plots. Love to experiment with different mixes and look out just past the yard at orchards/plots with deer in them. My original goal was to grow huge deer, but now it's just to grow "stuff". I do the same...

    Got a farmer friend in western KS. When neighbors till it eventually blows and drifts dunes onto his fields. Makes them bumpy and hell to drive a tractor on. Drives him nuts!

    So What Happened to Ne Neighbor Thread?

    Maybe he didn't get nuked. I had never noticed him posting like that before, but I do miss quite a bit so I don't know what's normal for him. And... I think we all stray from normal once in a while.

    So What Happened to Ne Neighbor Thread?

    I figured the same (it was nuked, he was nuked, and endless circle jerk needed nuked). I was guilty of adding to the fire (sorry to anyone who may have lost respect for me, it's not characteristic of me to be part of something like that). Got kind of fun though, couldn't wait to see what he...

    The Land of Milk and Honey

    I've put 48 tons in the driveway this spring. Much longer drive than 8 miles for us to get it so I have it delivered. Looks like you have a great setup though. I'd be scared of what trouble I'd get into with a dump trailer and a quarry that close.

    Concordia Oak

    I've got a couple that I planted a few years ago that are growing well. I'm a looooong time from knowing if they are a good tree for me though. They are planted on a hilltop with decently drained soils. pH around 7.

    Arrowhead and other historic/pre-historic collections

    You don't find Leprechauns during the rut? We get overrun with the damn things. Stink like hell. I tried to trap them but they figured out how steal the bait without triggering the trap. Once I ran out of gold I went to just shooting them when I got the opportunity.

    Arrowhead and other historic/pre-historic collections

    I walked one of my known spots a week ago. Hardly anything was visible. Maybe some rain will get things to show up a little better. Cool find Mortenson!
