    attracting turkeys / creating strut zones

    I'm at the end of day four turkey hunting, and I can't for the life of me pull in a tom. My place has a lot of crp, but I recently added 4 different plots totaling 5 acres of clover. Thinking I'd be able to pull them from my neighbors farm fields. Nope the birds are still avoiding my place. When...

    Winterize / water main question

    I will be winterizing my secondary home, and and will be crawling under the crawlspace to turn the water main off. Looking at my home inspection report I see my water main shut off has a hose attached to it. I'm assuming this is for draining purposes,but I'm not sure. I thought most drains had...

    My fall food plots were a bust this year due to lack of rain. I'm trying to decide what to do next year. Should I attempt to plant 5 acres of clover by Frost seeding this winter? Then just hopefully mow it as needed if it gets established? I feel that might be easier and less risky then try to...

    Buying wrp eligible land

    Has anyone ever bought wrp eligible land and then converted it? Do you really get 85% of the value of the land or how is the value determined? It sounds to good to be true to only needing to invest like 20 to 30 % then converting it and then having a strictly only hunting property.
