    No-tilling through grass

    I have an acre I tried to seed into a bedding mix by working it and broadcast seeding/cultipacking last year. It was a complete failure and needs to be redone. I'm going to rent a small no-till drill and do it right. My question is, this field now has last year's grasses and a few weeds grown...

    Food plot works

    My home place is 15.3 acres, and I've been working for about 10 years to turn the back ~6-7 acres into core deer habitat. This involved repeated kills of thick fescue pasture that choked out any trees starting. Planting about 800 trees. Now it's at a state most trees 5-7 feet tall, not really...

    Best so far

    I have this guy in a few photos now. I believe this would be the biggest I would have ever taken if I am successful. The Cuddelink shows a couple others big enough to shoot, but during archery I think I will hold out for this guy.

    Tractor upgrade

    I had a Case IH 674 (~1974 manufacture) loader, bought ~11 years ago. When I got it supposedly the engine had been overhauled but when warmed up oil pressure dropped, had to keep it revved a bit to be safe. Lately cooling issues, suspected water pump. Replaced a lot of hydraulic hoses, other...
