The plan was to have a tractor by now. That didn't happen. Now I have planting/ prep work to be done and I am looking at 1 point hook ups for the atv. Anyone have experience with them and/or what is suggested?

I have a small pond on my property. It's about 1/4 of an acre, 8 to 10 feet deep at the deepest point. The previous owners had what they called a koi pond in the back yard, a few years ago we found out what they did with the fish in the winter. We didn't think to much about it until we stopped...

4wanderingeyes thread got me thinking that this site needs a place to honor and discuss our dogs. I am a huge dog guy, feel naked without one in the house. Love training em, raising em, lovin' em. So I'll start with some pics. The old girl is my Emma. She was my first hunting dog. Trained her...

So I went on the DNR site last night to buy a left over turkey tag for this season. Everything in my zone is sold out. OK , no problem, my fault for not getting it done sooner and not sending in for one last fall. My issue started when I went to another outdoors site and read reports from guys...

i was reading through the bszweda story on the projects thread today. One of the things they were talking about what to do with an old refrigerator. It got me thinking, has anyone ever tried using an old fridge as a scent lock closet? Seems like it should work, should be reasonably air tight...

I have a pair of cabelas brand insulated rubber boots. They are about 1 year old. I noticed today there is a hole worn in the ankle area on the back of 1 of the boots. Its almost like a crack. Has anyone ever had any luck patching rubber boots? I hate to get rid of them as they are like new...

So as a relative newbie to food plots and such, meaning I'm just now seriously getting into planning prepping and planting for exclusively wildlife . I think its time to up my game some. I have been planting any mixture of soy beans, corn, sunflowers, pumpkins and assorted other "normal" crops...

So when I planted this fall I bought a big bag of plot spike oats. I used maybe a quarter of it for my needs as of now. I was thinking of frost seeding the rest. Ive never done this before, would I broadcast the seed now, just before a good snow, or in early spring before all the snow is...

Does anyone else use the deercast app from the Drury brothers? I am using it this season and its really fairly reliable at forcasting deer movement. So far im pretty happy with it. If you have it do you pay for the extea fearures? Is it worth it?

I took a walk this morning to check on progress of a couple kill plots I put in this year. 1 of them is 25 yards in front of my box blind, in the middle of this plot stands 1 probably 10 year old box elder thats "bushed" out, meaning its got dozens of main leads. Around this tree and are 5...

So i found a mystery tree on my property thos season. It is some kind of crab i think. It did produce a decent amount of apples this year before i found it. So i cut some new growth off of it about 4 weeks or so ago. I dipped the ends in rooting hormone and stuck them in some sand. 9 then...

I planted 6 Apple trees last year. Noticed today that rodents or rabbits got at 3 of them. Chewed the trunks all or most of the way around and about 6 to 12 inches up. Question is can I save them? Wrap them with something? Pretty sure I already know the answer, but thought I'd ask anyway!

So i planted a bunch of sunflowers in spring. They were doing great....until tjey started getting to about 8 feet tall. Then the stems started getting , weak or rubbery . Now the taller ones have started falling over. Im not sure what is happening here. All i can think is im low on nitrogen...

So I am hoping I can get some good advice on this. I recently took down a big black willow in my yard. Its probably 3-4 foot in diameter at the base, Question is ,is how do I kill it off now? I don't want this thing sprouting new leads every year I want it gone. It is right next to a pond so I...

So I am planting a couple hundred trees this weekend , hazelnut, swamp white oak, quaking aspen, white pine, and balsam fir. I was thinking of tubing them, but I am not sure how. I've seen tubes with saplings completely inside the tubes with nothing sticking out the top. Is this the normal way...

So I just planed my first apple and pear trees this year( 3 weeks ago) . They are budding right now. My question is, do i pick any flowers off them as I see them this year? I assume so , so the trees don't waste any energy ?

Planted my first cuttings today. Tried willow , mullberry, and basswood. I would think the willow and mullberry would take off, not sure on the basswood though. We will see. Tried a bunch of different spots and soil types. Would be cool if it works !

Are there any natural ways to aerate a pond? I have about an 1/8th of an acre pond in the yard. I was going to scrape it back some this year to about 1 foot deep and add gravel and sand to help filter and increase area for good bacteria to grow. I'm told this will help keep it clean. Currently...

I have a couple mulberry and a willow of some sort in my yard.. can I take cuttings from them to plant in my restoration project? If so what is the process of doing this? Thanks in advance!
