How long do deer typically use your WI oats?

I’m sure this year will be busy with the logging, but I wouldn’t drag my feet very long on the grasses and pines. I think they would help your property a lot. Could still leave the bulk of it in ag. Deer like edge and you could set it up to ambush them.

I agree with a statement above about both clear cuts being on the property line. I would leave a decent buffer and allow yourself a spot for a rut stand with a different wind direction overlooking the new bedding area. Will any of it be flat enough for a small kill plot or orchard (both will...

Hello, I have 8- 3 gal bags and 2- 5 gal bags. One had some dirt and grafts staging in the garage one spring. I just never took the time to use them and planted the bench grafts in their final resting spots after grafting. $50 w/shipping included to the US or best offer. Thanks!

John- thanks for your help. The link antenna was completely missing when I got to the camera. Not sure what happened to it. The system was working pretty well most of the summer. We did move the home when it started acting up earlier, so maybe it laying in the first location yet.

Yes- it’s very central and on a high ridge in the middle of a large field.

Any thoughts on losing all of the remotes cameras for a few days. They were working fine. Replaces some batteries. Move a couple cameras a short distance to better sign. They worked for a day or two then went Mia. Then, without changing anything they showed back up. Home cell camera is in a 30’...

I have a love hate relationship with peaches in zone 5 (WI). I planted one contender peach roughly 10 years ago. It had a couple big crops, then I decided to prune a bigger limb off that was going to split off during the winter. It has never been the same and will likely kick the bucket soon...

What does the field look like now? The x300 series is an air cooled lawn mower meant to do smaller yards. I have a liquid cooled X540 that has held up well to above average abuse. Not sure that I would want a smaller mower though. A heavier, liquid cooled used mower maybe a better fit if it’s...

I’ve gotten a few trees from them over the years. They have been nice trees and have done ok. My favorite tree is probably a WI hardy pear. It was on standard rootstock, but I don’t see it in the catalog anymore besides dwarf. It has good disease resistance and flavor. It is a little more gritty...

Garrett, I’m not in favor of waiting either. If food if the lowest hole in the bucket, I’d be adding it now. If there’s a chance that you’re going to sell it in the near future, food will likely help it sell. Maybe post a pic of your property and one of the surrounding area and we could give a...

John- When will we see a new cuddelink white flash camera? I wanted to add a couple g-series this year but they were already sold out.

My number one draw is a 12 yr old, 1/2 acre, 30 tree orchard with a food plot between the trees. Most apples are done by mid-November, but late droppers have recently been added. We see a good number of deer and some nice bucks throughout the year. We’ve had good luck harvesting some good bucks...

Sorry to hear about your loss! I always enjoyed his updates and look forward to taking care of some turning points that he shared with the deer hunting world.

Chummer- Sorry to hear about your loss! I will miss his forum updates. I have a turning point planted here in WI and another coming from Ryan again this year. I can’t wait to see what they do here and I will think of him every time that I pass by them. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends!

We haven’t gotten a report text since 10-12. Finally got one today. Online report was fine. Pictures were coming through fine.

I got an Korean Giant coming from Blue Hills the other day with an Ayer pear and some crabapples. What is everyone using for a pollinator? I have some European pears, but this will be my first Asian. Thanks!

Awesome job! I’m glad that he left you some corn. Hopefully, it’s an easier sell next year after this kind of success!

Get well soon Chainsaw! I’ve enjoyed this thread. I was lucky enough to get a turning point from Blue Hill for this coming spring. I can’t wait to see how this tree does in WI. Thanks again for sharing the tree and your apple info with others on these forums!

I’d seed ASAP and mix in oats for a quick cover. They will winter kill, but still hold some soil.
