Why have you lost the other wildlife?

I use Stihl and have been happy. Love the helmet because you head, eyes. and ear protection are all together. Easier to keep up with! As far as affordability, any single chainsaw incident will definitely be more expensive than what you might save by going cheap. I think it was Bell motorcycle...

There's a cure for that! My buddy hunted over a new destination plot I put in this year. He had 15 at once, 13 does, 2 young bucks. He reminded me that when we first got the property and did no management, if we saw 10 deer total over a season, it was a good season. I'll take does for now. We've...

I'm fine with the whole "If it's my time to go...." philosophy. However, what if it's the guy behind me that had his number called???

I have NEVER used anything but 150 grain in my 30-06 for whitetail. And never needed a second shot. Put it where it's supposed to go and they'll not go past 40 yds

I think that would be a great thing for you. I don't have a ton of pines, and as soon as I can arrange it, I will have even fewer! Almost the entire course was referencing burning in forested stands, with 90% discussing pine stands. Obviously, there are other considerations when trying to save...

HA! Good thing I plan on never retiring!

I know other models are out there, but GFC has designed a web based smoke predictor. I just click on my farm on the map, and it ask me to fill in some info. It then shoots a model showing smoke path and dispersion based on the danger levels of the smoke concentration. I can play with parameters...

So I took the Prescribed Burn Certification course through GA Forestry Commission over the last 2 days. Really interesting and gives me a lot more understanding of how to use the weather, manage the smoke, and plan ahead. Most of my burns have been small, and will still be mostly under 20-40...

Put in about 12 acres last Thursday expecting rain from Ian. As you no, dry as a bone. Good news is it only took about 8 hours using it as a single pass planter

WARNING! Politically incorrect statement: The nice thing about dating is you get to go on the hunt, pull out your weapon, mount your trophy , and finally release it (or them:-)). It's basically catch and release!

My 25 gal Northstar has been great. Much sturdier build and a drain cap

Well I have unleashed the weed seed demons after getting that bermuda plot turned and planted. Looks like about a good acre or so of cocklebur with some liberal smattering of coffeweed, carpet weed and horse nettle. May be time to break down and buy a mower. Will add heavy dose of cereal rye to...

I have to speak up for my friend, ragweed (Common ragweed, not giant). The deer hammer it on my place and while my habitat could stand some improvement, it certainly isn't lacking. At times its hard to find a plant that hasn't been hit. It's 18% protein ( Genus Ambrosia or food of the gods), has...

Update on my burn. I've never done a growing season burn, but wanted to kill the 5-12 foot sweetgums and blackberries. The first pic is the burned vegetation immediately after the fire: The next pic is 5 days later: The pic has my sweaty fingers on it, but look at the difference. I have...

Not the best photo but trying to crop out the confusing clouds! Got in a 10 acre burn today (smoke in the distance) in an area inundated with sweetgum, 7 foot tall blackberry, and some persimmon. First time I've burned in the late summer so I'm really interested to see how much woody kill I get...

Nope. Not on Bermuda. Craig Harper and others recommend that rate.

Those are awesome. Gonna plant perimeter brassicas next year. Great Idea

Absolutely. I strap the Firminator to the frame of my forks when possible because if I carry it over irregular ground I don't like watching my forks bounce! And I just have the 6'.

Congratulations. You’ll love it. I got the 6 ft model. You had outlined an area of my property and suggestion of a destination plot. I had also chosen that and the guys from Land And Legacy agreed. Used the chisel plow to cut it up and then use the Firminator to try to smooth it out and planted...
