You live in north carolina I am assuming here. You got plenty of time to hit it with clethodim. IT will kill the wheat and has a 2-3 week residual. But, could put down winter rye after that.

Deer react to the cheech marin branded soybeans next door? Teeter, Bees mess with your apples? At home is yellow jackets. Sugar water traps made out of soda bottles help some. Finding their home and knocking it down helps more.

I forgot to add I limed afterward. Bought 10 bags of barn lime in Febuary thinking I would use it at camp. Had the Gandy set too low and only used 6 bags about 6-700 lbs /acre. Used the last 4 around my 2x11 row of 2 apple trees. After seeding and tilling, it rained like crazy. Might help...

I pulled the plug on sweet dog on last years SLN order. Violi's is my most planted tree at camp 5, then 30-06 4 of them. Got 2 or 3 winter wildlife's. Only got 1 AWHO. Biennial kinda threw me off, but I thought I give it a try. Most SLN trees were planted this year from that nursery. I...

Thinking the till then seed is going to do the best. Hoping the spray went well. A week later thing have some yellow, but not shriveled dead. Could be dormant from the lack of rain a few weeks before this past few days.

Put in my foodplot at home this year. Plan A for this year is to not hunt at home this year. Figured I would experiment a bit. Roughly 1/2 acre foodplot. Far 1/3 I lightly disced, then spread seed, then rolled in. Middle I seeded, then disced, then rolled. Closest 1/3 near some spruce and...

Was putting my home foodplt oin like a madman. Had a big storm front come in around 1:15. Lightly disced, spread seed, then ran inside before I got hit by lightning. Went back out 2 hours later to roll it in. Got about 1-1.5 inches of rain. Got about the same thursday too. I was putting...

Cutting the apples or making htem soft is where the investment should be. Alot of ways to press the juice. Not many to cut the apples up. Purchasing a grabage disposal and making a tabel for it is a common affordable option for maceration. Another option s to freeze the apples, then press...

Nice ize for a crabapple. You in usda zone 3 or near the great lakes? I got to check my notes, but I dont think ides made it up to camp yet. Oaknut has another crabpple called signalfire which is a good grower too. I am knocking down the old apple tree that has ides parked on it. I will...

The limbs are squeezed in when you cock the crossbow. They widen out when you shoot. Make sure you got some distance between the limbs and your stand, your stuff, the tree, a second person on the stand. Opening day play around with it some and watch your shots and how clsoe you are to stuff...

Few things... rolling / cultipacking seems to work better than mowing. Shade, more surface area for collecting dew. Good base of clover and plantain is cheap insurance against drought. Been some good souther summer drought resistant threads on here over the years.

Wondering what everybody is taking out opening day? Technically opening day of fireams for me in NY is early muzzleloader in NY. Probably will take my new to me flintlock. Plan A was my good old glenfield model 30 in 30-30. However, the trigger is really stiff, Need to clean it and try...

You gonna see if they speak spanish? Not much interest in bear hunting here. At camp I keep a coffe can of rocks to throw at bears. probably throw rocks every other year.

Dry fall's my shaded foodplot do better. The edges of larger ones grow better too.

I hunt AG in a flyby cooridor. The mohawk river a hour west of albany. I have seen some deer actiivity while thousands of geese are in the field. However, never had a good day of hunting yet. Never seen a nice buck or many does either. Think they're in no rush to leave, but get annoyed by...
