Shot January 4th. We have pictures of it alive 11 days later with the arrow now out or broken off as well. If you look close you can see thats a full arrow with roughly 12 inches sticking out. Very close shot. Under 10 yards. I have a video where he walks and the arrow moves to a...

I just want to dry an area up and break the clay up.

Here is a little deal of the for ya. LifeLines for less than the cost of there tree strap. I started using this system this year thinking you had to swap from lifeline to your tree strap. The lifeline will act as your strap once you are in the tree. Hooked up from the ground the platform...

I tipped over a hemlock last week for deer browse. Didnt take them long to get on it. Once they browse it down the structure will still stay there as low standing cover. These trees loose there limbs so they dont do much for deer here without a branch below 10 feet. We never thouht...

John I feel like you had this somewhere on your site and now I cant find it. I am wondering how long you think a hybrid poplar would take to support a tree stand? I have a spot....a fantastic spot where there are literally no trees bigger than 2 inches in diameter. Everything around it is...

I am on year 7 with a foodplot near my pond and at this point I am willing to do whatever it takes to control this weed. When I plant brassicas they seem to always talk too long to canopy and around the 4 week period the weeds just go crazy. When I planted the Lickcreek mix of oats, rye, peas...

So I have pretty much had it with one of my plots. Due to the forest growing up rapidly around the plot and the lack of sunlight it gets I am suddenly considering just going to a year round clover plot, and frost seeding it with a couple pounds every spring. I just put down winter rye, oats...

Looks like this is a leftover from last year. The "15" picture is the second to last day of bow season. Tall 8 with super browes and a pretty narrow spread. He is large and in charge this year. 2016 on top. With 2015 open day of gun below. We were foolish enough to move from our morning...

Straight to the point here. Will this be enough to fill up a 1/4 acre field or will it be a little thin? 5 lb of oats 5 lbs of winter rye 5 lbs of wheat 5 lbs of winter peas 1 lb of clover (ladino, white dutch, alsike and one more I cant remember) 1 lb of mostly radish with a little blend of...

When I went to check my last camera last weekend my dad tipped over 3 hemlock trees for some bedding/browse/canopy reduction. I was amazed to come back 1 week later and there isnt a single spec of green on any of the three trees. While I certaily like that they used what we gave them I had to...

Here are two bucks that are still kicking in Wisconsin for next season. They are standing in a 1/4 acre plot of ag soybeans overseeded with 100 lbs of winter rye. I got perfect rains after I seeded the rye and it really filled in the holes as the beans were eaten. 1/4 acre plot and it didnt...

I have a unique setup in a cluster of trees that has proven to be one my top 2 stands on the property in the 1.5 seasons I have had a stand set up there. Took me 10 years to figure it out, shame on me :) The issue with the setup is the tree is crooked enough that I cant get the hang on stand...

I have a spot that really starts to get cruising bucks passing by starting right about Oct 25th. After a windsto rm I noticed a piece of cedar hanging down in the area almost right for a scrape....but too high. There is no perfect tree right where I want it but I could hang a branch down...

Friday at 6 pm I planted non RR soybeans at my land. I was not able to spray because I was short on time. Saturday I came back and cultipacked them and it rained an inch yesterday. I know you can spray overseeds as long as they are not growing and they will not die. Can I still spray them...

I took a nice walk on the some public today close to next my property. I was partially looking for sign and early sheds, but really scanning the trees for illegal stands as well. I wasn't gone long and I found 5 stands and a no trespassing sign that wasn't within 150 yards of a property line...

The last couple Saturdays I have been working on a project to create some cover in and area and on and edge of some habitat that we don't really hunt or go into during the season. Part of this area is just a 100 by 100 yard box with no ground cover and we would just like some mess so that deer...

We had a couple 10/11 year olds this season in the mentor hunt, and not a lot of options for 2 people to sit in one stand. We decided to fill in a void in our coverage of the woods and add a second box blind for cold/rainy days. Here are some pics of the process. We started this project in the...

Somewhere these 2 trees got lost in the shuffle. I have no idea what variety they are but after a few years I would have expected even a few tiny apples to show up. I don't know that they are getting pollinated. They were $15-20 whips that were planted in our garden for 2 summers and then...

I have been very active with my own plots and helping out on 2 other properties this year planting some plots. Here are some pics of growth throughout the season. This is my pond plot. This was meant to be straight buckwheat just for a week killer and soil builder. Its good soil 6.8 ph but is a...
