I recently got back from a sailing trip in the North Atlantic from Norway to Shetland Islands and back again. It was an amazing trip. We had decent winds on the way to Lerwick, and strong winds on the way back to Bergen. We got up over 9 knots on some big waves, and there was a lot of spray...

I was taking cuttings to propagate some yellow and red dogwoods, and one branch had a triple node. I thought it was pretty cool, so I potted them separately to see if they become something interesting.

Any of you southerners every try perennial peanut? Apparently the southern portion of the gulf states can grow it pretty well. I was out at a farm where they tries using it for intercropping, and the local livestock annihilated it. I wondered if deer liked it as much as goats and horses do.

In light of the maple syrup thread. Is there anyone who has ,ade or is planning to make birch syrup? I'd like to get out and tap a few trees, but I'm not experienced. I wonder about the diameter of the trees I should tap and the timing of the tapping. I figure whatever syrup I don't consume...

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/invisibility-shield/invisibility-shield/description Anyone using this stuff for hunting yet? It would be interesting to see how wildlife reacts to it. I think I could make a great blind with two of the large panels, but I can't afford $800 for an experiment.

So I'm finally going to buy a saddle and start practicing with it for next year. Planning to hunt at least three countries next season, and I really want something mobile and adaptable that I can travel with. My clothes and boots already take up a fair amount of space in my suitcase, so I have...

This is one of my bucketlist hunts, and I would like to do it in 2024 or 25. Has anyone here done this? I would like to put together a hunt with my dad where we plan for a few days and then drive from Ohio out to Wyoming and glass pronghorn until we find a good one to shoot. Then we put it in...

I took the plunge and dropped about $1300 on a Hikmicro Thunder. It can be a spotter, stand alone scope, or clip-on thermal for a regular scope. I hunted last year with a thermal spotter I borrowed from a neighbor. It's like having a superpower. I found one on sale and clicked the buy...

I'm planning to make a couple salt/mineral licks this summer, but I'm having trouble locating the right salt. I have a couple normal salt blocks, but I want to add the Trophy Rock salt since so many people say it makes a difference. Does anyone know where I can buy a bag of it around Dayton...

I'm looking for advice on how to improve the texture of venison sausages. The sausages I make are fine as far as flavor, but they have a texture that too closely resembles a hamburger in a casing rather than a proper sausage. Even using a finer grind I don't get the binding effect I'm after...

I just got an email about an OnX master class with tutorial and Q&A session, in case anyone is interested.

This seems to be a good option for me on the open woods areas that I want to keep open with minimal understory. It's the area I want to use for trails and buffer zones and not have a lot of deer movement. The total area will be over 20 acres, and I wonder if ginseng is a more lucrative option...

It's 2023 already on this side of the Atlantic. Cheers to you all, and good habitating in the new year.

When going through the list of shrubs for deer, they all seem to prefer/tolerate wet or moist ground, and there is a lot of talk about how they are found in or near swamps and along the edges of streams. I only have a limited amount of ground that seems suitable for such plants, but I have a...

I found this gowing by a fence along a road in Western Norway. I am pretty sure that it is Viburnum trilobum, but I wanted input from people with more experience.

This looks like a good option for me to be able to sow brassicas early and still be able to hunt over them in November. Unfortunately I can't find much info regarding experiences with marrow stem kale. Anyone here ever used it in a food plot? Or something similar?

I would like to collect some white clover seed, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Where I live now there is very little variety available when it comes to food plot seeds. I have a very healthy and vigorous white clover around the edges of my yard that I would like to collect seed from and...

Anyone know of a place to get rye in the Dayton-Cincinnati area? I'd like to avoid the shipping costs on 200lbs of rye, but if there is nothing local then I guess I will have to order from Merit.

I've decided to give this a try in a field that tends to be a bit soggy much of the year. Can I just throw and mow, or do I need a clean seed bed? The field has a lot of thatch from the grasses that grow there every year. I assume I will have to spray no matter what. Anything else I should...
