Some ROW agreement say you cant plant or till the soil. Mainly ones with buried stuff. gas lines fiber optics even buried power lines. keep edges brushy and use seeds that make it look like a regular meadow. Keeps the nosy folks away. You can work on it now. Removing branches, triming...

I seal the ends with a bit of candlewax. When you use the scion just away 1/2" or so until the wood looks moist and cambrium has a touch of green to it. Before using last year I sniped off the waxed end and put it in the fridge with a bit of water in a bowl to hydrate. About 8 hours or so...

The important part I feel is watering them during planting.

I forgot if it was 2 or 3 years ago, but I planted bareroot fruit trees around december 12th or so in usda zone 3. First 2 or 3 inches of ground was frozen. Every tree made it. Got me sold on fall / winter planting. Had a tree in a pot frozen solid. Put it in the ground over the winter...

At home I save all my food scraps and coffee grounds and spread them around my tree plantings. Deer go right up to them. Also, time of year might be an issue too. Stuff doesn't emit as much scent when frozen. I saw grounds to mix in tree pots. A coworker at my lat job saved all grounds from...

The metal that can corrode easier will loose materal, while the other will be more or less not harmed. Sounds like suppressors are not steel. IF they are made of aluminum, the suppressor threads loose. If it is made out of titanium, the barrel threads loose. Combustion byproducts are carbon...

I use #4 wire to my 1500lb winch. I also use these connector. PRetty sure mine are the 175a, but the 50amp ones probably would be ok to. I assumed my 1500lb winch uses 50amps. Also added a 50a circuit breaker too. Probably OK on 2500lb winches with the #4 wire. #6 would be ok, but had #4...

I do not think you could ship a tree big enough to warrant $69. Sometimes the smaller trees aclimate better anyways. I dont see where they say what rootstock they're grafted onto. Dealbreaker for me. 1/2 the unknown rootstock trees I have purchased I problems with. Either slow growth or...

You shoot open areas, wind, or just typical 200 and under stuff. I have a 3 year old luepold costed me around 450. Basic distance is all that needed, the basic vortex one works good. I'd go a basic luepold or that vortex. Just keep a range sheet with you that includes wind drift.

Merry Christmas.... Thamks for helping us make our hunting seasons merry with crabapples.

Cold do strips of it. Like 2 passes with the seeder, then come back and seed between the passes with something shorter.

Any reason going 308? Wouldn't a heavier bullet be better for deer? 395gr sub-x going subsonic is 1000ft-lbs. Kick isnt bad at all either.

Would watering round the tree this time of year help? Make the soil more solid and harder for the voles to dig? I did it the year after I saw problems, but clearing out grass was probably the real thing that did it.

You in Canada Telemark? How's sending scion to Canada? I got a few onx87 roostocks to replace a bartlet and/or kieffer thats not doing too hot on my land. Whats the biggest size you can use? pinky ring finger?

Does the creek have a local USGS gauging station nearby. It would show what normal elevation is. Could have a surveyor mark a pin with elevation. Usually these things are marked on regular surveyor maps already. For the money and hassle, it might be cheaper to go overheard. Whats the span...
