Not everyone gets it but man I am all "fired up"! The work I did, mixed with some rain really looks to be paying off! My trail cam has been sending me pics and I've watched this field come back to life based on my planting efforts. I rarely hunt this field, maybe once or twice early season when...

I wish I would have taken a photo to show you all. I planted chestnut trees from Chestnut Hill in 2017. They were 2 year old trees. This year I finally had chestnuts! That means they were 7 years old when they first bore fruit. And of course, I have questions: 1. Does that seem right that...

Well, I got ambitious and got my field going early this year. I'm hoping that will allow things to get started well. I'm trying to get my field back to where it was 2 years ago (which was a nice field of clover, and then I sprayed it to plant brassicas, turnips, etc. - DUMB MISTAKE). Given...

I use T&M. I know in doing so we have to go heavier with seeding rates. But can you go too heavy and cause a different issue? Here's my stuation: Again, I'm basing this question on T&M. Anyone who recognizes my handle has seen me mention that I do this for several reasons (bad starting...

Is now the right time to have some timber work done on my property (based on lumber prices)? It was cut about 7-8 years ago but a management/selective cut on my 35 acres. When I had it cut last time, I had a field put in that is just about 1 1/2 - 2 acres (shown in the yellow kidney shape)...

Just curious if anyone uses seed from companies like Whitetail Institute, Antler King, Tecomate, Biologic, etc.? I know that there are a lot of "do it yourselfers" here, so I suspect not a lot of you do. Admittedly I am trying to cut a corner. Here's my situation: Early last summer, I...

What utility is the most important for you? It turns out Cell connection is the most important thing for me. Here's how I added it to my camp. My property and my cabin are very remote/rustic. By that I mean: No electricity No plumbing (I have an outhouse, shower house and spring water)...

At my NY hunting camp hoping for a great hunt this morning. It would be the first sunny day in weeks. I took a shower last night and thinking back now, I probably had a tick on me then. But at 12:30 this morning I was restless and my hand brushed along my ribs under my arm and I felt a...

2 mowers, some wood, some wheels, and old hitch, and about 12-15 hours (including 2 trips to the store and time out to buy the 2nd mower). I tested it out. It tows, both mowers run without blades touching, the wheels are adjustable up/down. All-in-all a good weekend. Next weekend, I try...

Well, I hadn't been to my property for almost a month and needed to take care of "cabin upkeep things" (like mowing the lawn, splitting wood and so on). I also wanted to get going with my field prep. I had some volunteer wheat that took to seed that I had noticed earlier this year (back in...

I shot a doe last weekend. She was broadside and not on alert at all. My initial thought was it was a great shot but then the doubts crept in and I started thinking that I might have hit her a little high. Those doubts grew as I was climbing down my tree that I wasn't going to get her. Once on...

I have a Cell-Link on my trail camera. One morning I woke up to the following series of photos, which I thought were really oddball behavior. I numbered the pics based on the date/time from the camera (they were screen shots form my cell phone): #1 & #2 2:23 Is he sniffing a raccoon? A...

I'm trying to design (light fabrication) something that I can use for towing a short/slow distance that will: 1. Keep just my front ATV tires off the ground. 2. That will allow me to connect it to the trailer ball/or sleeve on my truck . 3. Allow ONLY the back wheels on the ground. 4. No...

Yeah. It wasn't really a typo. Dick's drops hunting supplies. Cabela's has trigger locks on guns in the stores and won't remove them for potential buyers. Sorry - had to gripe to people that would understand (not my wife). Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I have a pear and an apple tree that I need help figuring out the right way to trim/prune it. They are both 3 year old trees. I tried t take pictures so that the tree stood out on the skyline. I'm not sure how many main branches I should have. This is the pear: This is the Apple:

I need some ideas on how to deal with some bad neighbors (renters). This is probably a longer explanation of my problem than it needs to be - but here goes... I own a small portion of land that has sizeable state land bordering on 2 sides. Bordering my other 2 sides is a lease from one land...

So, my plot looks good. What I want to check is if I have these plants identified right: First photo (brassica?) Second photo (groundhog radish?) Third photo (Austrian pea, the only pea I planted.) Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Well, that's more of a "headline" or "attention getting" statement. I'm guessing I'm not the only one who's gone through this. I bought a nice new ground blind. Of course, it still has that "new car" smell. Aside from hanging some pine trees from Auto Zone inside (just kidding). What have...

Saw this segment on the BBC about "Why soil is disappearing from farms." You're not going to learn anything here to help your food plots (sorry). You may be jealous of the Kernza wheat if you watch the segment at like the 20 minute mark (total video is 24 minutes long)...

Little. Curious if this is one. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
