I’d put up t-post every 25 yards or so on the border you share with him. If you’ve recently had it surveyed it shouldn’t be too hard to identify the actual line but if you’re unsure I’d pay a survey to flag it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Two years later my son has killed his first 7 deer and two turkeys on the property. His older sister hasn’t shown much interest in the rifle but wants to archery hunt this year. From a management perspective we’ve been hard on the antlerless harvest with six killed this last season. I...

Maybe. I don’t think the article is jumping to any conclusions. It’s newsworthy even if it turns out to be nothing. I don’t think it’s possible to know one way or the other. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t know? Are there? Population decline is concerning but I’m more concerned I couldn’t or shouldn’t feed my growing family every deer we kill. Venison is the only red meat we consume. I’d have a very different perspective on hunting if I had to toss deer in the ditch. Sent from my...

From a health standpoint there are definitely more serious threats to Americans than CWD, that’s a fact. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s notable because ~350 people die from CJD annually in America. It’s statistically almost impossible that two people that know each other would contract such a rare disease. Hopefully it’s a tragic coincidence, there is no proof to the contrary but it’s still good to be informed. Sent...

I haven't messed with cell cams yet, one day but my life is busy enough without text messages from wildlife. I've used Covert for a long time and never had an issue that wasn't immediately handled by them. I leave cameras out all year and get 4+ years out of them. Not bad for a relatively...

Doe September 2020. And buck September 2020.

First turkey I killed on our land.

NW North Carolina. Peak breeding varies a lot in NC. The state agency started a study a few years ago, my counties peak breeding is November 22 according to their study. Our corner of the state is all pretty late even drifting into early December in parts of the mountains.

I've planted 75+ apple, pear, crabapple and chestnut trees from Northern Whitetail crab, The Wildlife Group, and St. Lawrence nurseries. This apple from NWC was planted in May 2018, picture taken October 2020.

Another small plot that was put in March 2019.

My original September 2018 planting during the spring turkey season 2019. No chemicals were used on this plot until September 2020.
