I love both pears and persimmons, but pears do get freeze damage often while persimmons seldom do. Both pics below were taken today and illustrate why this is. Pears are already dime sized and persimmons haven’t even leaved out yet. PS - I have a tremendous pear crop this year despite a few...

I bought a RRA 24 inch upper and put on a Colt lower with a CMC trigger. Today was my first try and I'm very pleased. Getting sub 1/2 MOA with factory ammo on a day not very good to shoot. The heat mirage was killing me. Now I'm finally done buying ARs. I have everything I want.

I recently wanted to add another AR-15 to my collection and decided to go with a Springfield Saint Victor. It has a 16 inch barrel and comes with flip up iron sights. After I got those zeroed, I mounted a cheap Weaver 3X9 scope on it and started testing some factory ammo. I tried some...

If you know what I mean…..

Would like recommendations since I have never used these. Want to get some for myself and other family members. Are there any brands and models that you highly recommend or any to avoid? I wouldn't say that price is not a consideration but I'm willing to spend a little more to get better quality.

When the booners are away, we must find time to play

All of a sudden foods that seemed to be untouched for weeks are suddenly being eaten well. This includes cool season plots, persimmons, sawtooth acorns, apples, pears, Chinkapins, chestnuts, and a host of other goodies. I know why this is happening and many of you do too. For those who don’t...

This is a tree in my yard. It’s a good deer apple, but I don’t need deer apples in the yard and want an eating apple in its place. I’ve never tried to topwork a tree this large. Just wondering if anyone else has and how it turned out.

Every year I will do a quick check on our deer rifles just to make sure nothing has got knocked off. If the gun hits well on the first shot, I generally only shoot it one or two time. When I am working up loads, however, I shoot either 4 or 5 shot groups. First gun is my son's 300 Mag...

A relative of mine just sold a farm that he inherited in 1981. He will have to pay capital gains tax this year on the difference between what he sold the land for and what it was worth at the time he inherited it. What would be the best way to go about this and come up with the value of the...

Check out these 4 pictures. Coyotes do hunt deer. Pic #1: Look for the white flag disappearing into the grasses on the left side, and note the time of 5:04 AM. Pic #2: Check the time. It is still 5:04 AM. Coyote #1 enters the scene. Pic #3: Time has not changed. Coyote #2 arrives, and...

I want to add a couple more trees this fall, and I'm considering using G.890. I've had good luck with MM111, but B118 doesn't work here without permanent staking. Does anyone have experience with G.890 that they could share? I realize the trees will be smaller than my MM111s, but I'm fine...

This next one I have named funky chicken..

When I first started plotting, I was talking to an experienced plotter about the value of different food plot species. When we were discussing chicory, he didn't have a lot of good things to say about it. He felt it was overhyped. Well......roll the clock around a few years, and now that I have...

This looks to be a good year for apples where I live. I have some common, as well as some unusual varieties. I thought maybe a few folks might enjoy a thread where I document the apples as they ripen through the year. All of my apples are no spray, so you may see a few bug bites, etc.... I...

I was noticing the weeping mulberry in my yard today and how the deer come in at night and devour the low hanging branches. I've always known that mulberry is a favored browse species - I think right up there with apple. A weeping mulberry might just be the perfect browse plant because of how...
