    Buying bare dirt land - worth it?

    Sure. Pretty sure it sold in the last 2 years but it was southern MN - Freeborn County south of Albert Lea. Was 160ish acres if I remember right. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Buying bare dirt land - worth it?

    Nope. Found a couple small cabins we liked near ish to some public land but acreage is way out of the budget right now. And the cabins sold in a matter of days. Super hot market over there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Let’s see your Northern whitetail crabs growth!

    I’m just a ways south of you in 4b. I have some wild plums on the property but the only crabs are ones I planted - couple decorative crimson and one dolgo. Over the last few years I’ve been planting an orchard more for humans than wildlife with apples, pears, and cherry. I’m on year 3 of...

    Let’s see your Northern whitetail crabs growth!

    Looking at buying some crabs next year. Show me your crabapple growth! Looking mostly at northern whitetail crabs varieties since I’m in MN and cold Hardy and later drops are important. Would love to see growth and fruit, as well as get some extra info. Let’s see pics with the following...

    Fall/ Winter plot - Oats or WR/WW/Peas/Oats Blend?

    Appreciate the input. Never thought of fertilizer being too much of a good thing.

    Fall/ Winter plot - Oats or WR/WW/Peas/Oats Blend?

    Hey all, you guys were super helpful when I put in my first ever food plot (just a basic clover plot with WR cover), so back at it for more advice. In Southern MN (USDA Zone 4). Looking to put in roughly a 1 acre plot. Equipment - have a tractor, disc, brush hog, and backpack spreader...

    First year foodplot success!

    Thanks! She missed a fork and got busted by a 6. I told her every time something has gone wrong so far a bigger one showed up, so she’s only got 1-2 to go! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    First year foodplot success!

    Nah the little guy is just closer. The big buck is a nice one. He’s been sparring pretty hard the last few days. I saw a few buttons chasing around and a small 6 was as well. Another doe came through at a sprint but never had anything follow. Then this guy came through and it was awesome. I...

    First year foodplot success!

    Last weekend we had a nice cold front come through here in MN. I finally started doing some habitat improvement last year, and one of the first things I wanted to do was turn a field/ woods edge into a long and shallow clover plot. It was my first time ever doing any sort of food plot work...
