I have and it doesn't work. It would be great for flat land though.

I have been using milkweed pods too. They really show how the wind is moving. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m not sure of wind speed but it doesn’t seem to matter in my situation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can't help but laugh when somebody says "just play the wind". This past weekend the wind was blowing in the perfect direction for the stand that I went to. 20 minutes later it was blowing from the wrong direction. 30 minutes later it was blowing from a totally different direction. This...

Bill, you've got me thinking. Looks like I will be spending more money soon. I built a "closet" in my garage a couple of years ago and had considered this but now I think I will do it. It looks like an easy way to store all of my gear. Besides, my garage is a little full now anyway. Thanks...

Here is my setup. After seeing the others I realize mine is not really a cabin. It's more like a shack. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I enjoy mine. I built it about 20 years ago. About 6 years ago I had it moved to the other side of the property. Now I am considering adding on to it. Last summer I added a off-grid shower to it and the year before I built a 12x 24 shed. Both additions have been great.

That was my plan. I am heading out this afternoon to set some coon traps. I see way too many of them on my trail cameras.

Looks great Bill. Are those hybrid poplars that you planted?

For the last 6 or 7 years we have had a small amount of turkeys on our property. Each year up until recently I have seen or heard several gobblers in the area around my property. Last year I only saw one gobbler and this year I have seen one gobbler and a jake. There are at least 8 hens in...

If you have wide open woods can you hinge cut 1/4 acre or so and have deer bed in it or do you need a larger area of thick cover?

Well, to add to it I pulled the cards from some of my cameras and now have neighbor's dogs running. Sometimes I just want to turn the place into a motorcross track or something.

I have already planted about a dozen trees and hopefully will do that many more this weekend. Most of them are chestnuts. I hope to get some logging done. Expand food plots. Add on to the cabin.
