    Trailcam pics

    I think that’s the right fawn’s outstretched right back leg. Then, that same fawn’s left leg is just under it pointed toward that fawn’s body.

    TSI/FSI response question

    I don’t have too much to add, but I just wanted to say that every time I’ve seen some woods cut or hack and squirted, there’s been a huge increase in wildlife use. Forget food plots when you can create bedding and food in one. It’s just remarkable how much better it gets. Below is a pic from a...

    Pheasant Acres

    I'm with you! It's one of my favorite goodies that wasn't planted that has shown up! I noticed a little partridge pea last year as well.

    Pheasant Acres

    I have a couple pics up above of it last year. Below are two more from last year during the summer. It had a couple areas that were heavier witchgrass (lighter grass in 1st pic) and giant ragweed (bottom right in second pic). Had a nice show of black-eyed susan and sunflower early fall - they...

    Pheasant Acres

    Just a fun update on the second year pollinator planting. Took a few pics while out and about yesterday. Didn't go into the cover but just stuck to the edges while walking by. Flushed a hen and six or so chicks that could just start to fly. Not a ton blooming at the moment but saw a couple of...

    Trailcam pics

    Nice pics of the elk! That’s fun to see. I think the first pics antlers are covered by the tree just to the right. I can see the antlers start to go wide but get covered by the tree.

    Raccoon trapping

    Interesting. I wouldn’t have thought that would be the case, but I make sure it’s the fast way. Thanks for sharing.

    Raccoon trapping

    Raccoon 14 for me today. Was a really cool morning - I pulled into my parking spot at my land and a buck and rooster pheasant were right there to meet me. Saw a couple pairs of pheasants after that, and I was glad I could add another nest predator at a crucial point.

    Raccoon trapping

    Not a bad idea! I put out some coyote traps for the first time ever and wouldn’t you know it my first catch was a raccoon! Up to 12 since March. Hoping to get some fawn killers in the mix, too.

    Pheasant Acres

    Sharing a couple of pics I took last weekend while out planting some shrubs & spruce. Was a nice day to see some greenery & shrubs in bloom. Spring is always a nice nice breath of fresh air (or manure) 😉 Here's a plum I believe. Didn't know I had any in this spot. Might try to encourage...

    Training new leaders for spruce

    Interesting again! I guess I’m used to white spruce.

    Training new leaders for spruce

    Interesting. A little oddly proportioned with that change but I’m assuming the bottom will continue to grow as normal and the leader top just got a chance to shoot up with your magic. Like SD said, I’ve heard of people intentionally topping the leader to try to have the tree create several...
