Glad to see it wasnt just me with the birthday cake one.....lol

There's a new documentary on Netlfix some of y'all will probably like called "The Anti-social Network: Memes to Mayhem"

What about if your field draws in a lot of birds in the summer??

There’s a place I go track deer with my dogs where a guy owns about 2000 acres and he has roughly 250 acres of that in big ag fields that he can plant anything he wants in……In that type of situation I could see where it would benefit someone to worry about planting “summer plots”……However, with...

I know we live in different areas but really nothing that grows here during the summer has any kind of negative impact on what I grow during the winter…..maybe nutsedge a little or bermuda grass. Its really the exact opposite….most have positive impacts. Do the plants that we label “weeds” not...

What does it matter if "weeds" grow during the summer??.....I call it natural vegetation.

One of the biggest issues I see folks having with throw and mow over the years is that don’t actually do what they need to do in the beginning in order to have long term success. They ask what they should do…..you tell them “Add lime and nitrogen during the summer and boost your native...

I actually didn’t plant anything last year or hunt for myself……I’ve gotten to where I’m mostly just tracking deer for other folks with my dogs. Basically all I was doing for the last few years though is spreading 75-100 lbs of cereal rye with roughly 10 lbs of crimson clover in early Oct and...

Once you get the hang of how things work it really becomes about biomass management……I started mowing in late June in order to reign in the massive biomass crops I was growing over the summer and make fall planting more manageable

I use them to fill a gap between my meat and potatoes.... lol

You likely need to take some kind of light weight drag and pull across it just to scuff up the surface then broadcast some more brassicas or whatever you want to fill in with.

You may have smothered out the little brassica seeds by pressing down a solid mat of thatch over the top of them. I've found things like clover and brassicas do best just broadcast over the top of loose thatch.

I agree with farmerdan……..It could be a few things but likely it’s a moisture issue……There’s a few things that can help alleviate that…..increased SOM…….increased infiltration…….increased thatch…..etc.

That looks awesome!

Mine are spoiled yard dogs that get to come in at night sometimes to sleep.

Dog hunting is still legal here but its been restricted a lot over the years to only being allowed in certain counties……Most of the complaints about it have been over trespassing and packs of dogs being on other people’s land. In fairness to the dog hunters, technology has really changed our...

I don’t keep up with numbers but a lot of folks do and that’s about right for most trackers……40-50%.......It kinda depends on if you screen your calls strictly or just take everything that comes in. People call on any and everything….a fair number of the calls are clean misses.

When a tracker goes out on any given call they never know for sure what they’re dealing with until after the deer is located. You can do a hit site assessment and guess at what will unfold but the only way to know for sure is to track to the deer, locate it, and then let the dog assess the...

You must have misunderstood what I said……..The individual deer that I’m called into track and find is either mortally wounded before I get there or he isnt…..The hunter has already sealed his fate with the original shot one way or the other. There are no standers and there are no other deer...

One of the biggest differences in running dogs versus tracking is that trackers don’t add to the number of deer being killed……we are only adding to the number that get recovered. The deer’s fate is already sealed one way or the other before they ever call us. He’s either fatally wounded or he...
