    Spartan Go Cam Smell or sound?

    I have had 5 GoCams going for a few years now. I definitely agree there is something about them. I can never put my finger on it. Sometimes the big bucks are careless and it doesn’t bother them, often time they go and don’t come back. I think it’s the video mode that does it sometimes??? Like...

    Milestone

    I used Milestone on a switch planting that was overtaken by dandelions. It nuked all the broadleafs and the grasses came back strong. I think it’s like a hot 24D but I’m not real familiar with it. The dnr are the ones who used it on mine. It did kill all the wildflowers I had in that planting as...

    How Big is Your Average Mature Deer - B&C?

    Average 3 yr old is 130” in my area in MN. Maybe 100” on a real dud, maybe 150+ on one with incredible genes. But 130-140 is common.

    Otter? Mink?

    We came upon a mink trying to kill a fawn once. Heard the fawn screaming and walked down to the slough edge and found it in the water with a mink tearing at its bloody, torn nose. It was graphic. I think a freak deal but goes to show… I think pound for pound, weasel, mink, otter… all the...

    Innovative ways to fertilize?

    I was thinking this same thing! I’ve been incorporating my winter feeding into fertilizing some of my little “kill plots” in the woods. Pee and crap and thatch and trampling… I’m curious if it helps? I don’t see how it can hurt. Just a few days makes a difference. Imagine the manure created by...

    MINNESOTA GOLD

    Bill have you found many sheds of the big guys you’ve shot? Or is it mostly randoms that come for the winter? I have boxes and baskets full too, but the pinnacle is always to collect years of sheds off the same buck and then shoot him. I love to track the progression of each one! And no better...

    Too pretty….

    Got both these images on some bait last night. The lighting, the shadows, the saturation… too good not to share. I love eagle season 😁

    Yotes caught in the act

    He’s tall and lanky… the snout really says coyote to me! And the red ears, classic eastern/ central coyote look.

    Eagles

    Eagles are impressive birds! I feed roadkill deer to them on one of my ponds. I have a huge cottonwood they sit in and watch over their dinner. I’ve had as many as 23 at one time!

    Help Me Determine Seeds in a tall cover "STRIP MIX"

    I drilled in a similar mix last year but we had such a bad drought. I think you’re wasting your time with corn. I just think in a mix like that it’s too much competition. You’ll get stalks but no cob. Put the energy into sunflowers, sorghum, and beans. That stuff can still do well in competition...

    Scrape trees

    Lots of info and opinions out there on mock scrapes. It’s not rocket science. If you build it, they will come. Chest high licking branch and clean underneath is about all that matters. The rest is all preferences. I do many with existing trees on field edges and many with a post 25 yards in...
