I always make the mistake of thinking I'm ahead of the game because my foodplots are in then realize we're two weeks from season and I haven't hung stands, cut shooting lanes, put out cameras.

Hello all.
I’m Nightvision. Used to own a company that offered night time hog hunts with night vision then thermal scopes hence the name.
Middle,Ga. Don’t own property but do my own food plots on multiple properties. Own most equipment that a person needs short of the beloved no till drill.
I’m 53 with a wife and one son. We go to church, hunt and fish. Son is in ROTC with plans to be a pilot in the military.
I found this site after googling Tar River reviews and Breddicks on going review showed up. It sounds as though his is working fine. A friend has one and while it works, he said he’s always having to do little things. He said the worst is all of that loose nuts a bolts. Plans are to change out with lock nuts.
Anyway, glad to be here. Thought I was fairly knowledgeable but after reading some of the post I realized I’m still in elementary school.

Congrats to your son!
My son just graduated from Penn State's ROTC program and is going to Fort Rucker in January to be a helicopter pilot.

indeed, welcome to H-T and the addiction night vision
I'm Mike. I have leased hunting rights on a section of Cotton-Hanlon timber in NE Pa. The property is about 3 hours from my home near Philadelphia. I stumbled across this site searching for information about my Cuddelink camera system I use there and was thrilled to find such a great resource. I'm still working my way through the posts to try and catch up on all the great information.

Hi everyone! Jillbo here-ya, I'm a Lord of the Rings/Hobbit fan.
I've been a lurker here and on other forums but this is the only one I've joined bc it had some of the best advice on planting trees from collecting seeds. I have been hunting since '08 (late starter-double nickels now), which while I enjoy, I don't enjoy nearly as much as habitat management and being a steward of the land. I've completed the old QDMA's Deer Steward course and I was hooked on habitat!
My husband and I have 80 acres in SE NE which are mostly (65) tillable acres, alternating in corn & beans, but joyously we border a large creek (where I found a natural freshwater pearl a year ago) and have numerous natural springs on the property as well. This property has been in his family for over 100 years and so the last 5 have been spent clearing out "junk trees" (ash, elm, locust, & hackberries) that have impeded the oaks and walnuts that are growing there, as well as cleaning up the "treasures" left by past generations.
Last year was our first year to try collecting acorns from different oaks than what we had at the time, stratifying them, planting, and successfully raising oaks that have now outgrown their cages. This fall we found chestnut trees and harvested from them. Got brave and ordered some persimmons and pawpaw seeds; they sent some extra chestnuts and sawtooth oak for me too. My RM18s came today as well. The addiction is real! ;)
We have plenty of deer coming and going, two does that fawn here, turkeys, and a decent sized covey of quail too.
Looking forward to learning more and engaging in topics here. Thanks for the add!

Hey all, I'm 35, active duty military and have been hunting the white-tailed animal since I was 16. I have a wife and 4 kiddos. Two of which are hunting already. I've killed two bucks in my time, my first was a yearling basket 6 pointer that I took on public land in Southern Illinois five years ago. My second was a 3.5 year old 12 pointer on private land in western Kentucky.
We now have access to a 55 acre private parcel in western Kentucky. Part of it (about 25 acres) is leased to a farmer, but we have the ability to hunt the other 30 wooded acres.
We have the permission of the landowner to do what we'd like with the wooded acres as long as it doesn't impede on the farmers leased land. He's happy to have someone managing the deer population because they are tearing up the crops.
I'll be the first to admit, I know nothing about land management, but I am very passionate about landscaping and sustainable food growth and have a lot of soil and plant education under my belt. I've watched guys like Whitetail Habitat Management and SeeMoreBucks, and honestly I'm at the point where I feel like the concepts they are preaching are just going over my head.
So I'm here to offer my ideas for the land and to learn from guys while I make mistakes and improve my knowledge.

Hello. I'm just beginning to manage over 80 acres of property in Northern Wisconsin that has been in my family since the early 70s. We've gun hunted whitetail for years with decent success, but haven't made any improvements until now.
First project is Buckthorn remediation. I have a 17 acre meadow that isn't overrun, but it's now or never. Started cutting and treating this week.
Next, looking at making changes to hold deer. We've basically hunted for meat, not really passing on many bucks. I've never found a shed on our land, and my impression is deer mostly pass through. There aren't any food plots. Just browse and acorns. I'm getting into bow hunting and would like to see if we can get a couple big guys to hang around.
In the meantime I have installed a 6 cam Cuddelink system that I am troubleshooting; this is how I came across this forum.
Lots of info here. Hope it's ok if I throw out a few questions without reading the entire Cuddelink thread. Thanks for adding me to the forum.
