Ugh that's tough. I get both sides. But better hope that a buck you shoot doesn't end up over there. I won't let a deer rot if it can be found. Just my 2 cents. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

Maybe its because I don't trust anyone including neighbors, I would def keep an eye on it. Maybe make contact with that neighbor, introduce yourself as the new property owner and see what their intentions are. If it seems like the are doing some illegal, I'd [emoji817] follow it up contact to...

My scent control regime is OCD at best. Shower each time. No scented laundry detergent ever or dryer sheets. My wife hates me. Lol. I also don't touch things with bare hands, always gloves and into the ozone cabinet or bag. I'm a firm believer in ozone when coupled with a good pre-hunt routine...

That looks a lot like when the cicadas hit here and laid eggs in all my trees. They all have healed up nicely now.

It's in the middle of stand of mature oaks and hickories. Every bit of 50-80' trees. I spent two days in the summer conducting a "sun assessment": I sat in the plot with a lawn chair and beer and watched to see what area got the most sun. Lol. I also did a little trimming of some surrounding...

I currently have a tiny kill plot, less than a 1/10 acre, that I have two Kieffer pears in. Both are doing well, and hopefully will produce in a few years. It was just about finding the right spot that gets the most sun as possible. I also killed a few trees that opened the canopy up a bit as...

Rage makes turkey heads with hooks on them to stop full pass through. I've used them and my son used them the last two years, all birds center punched and went less than 50 yards. Just my experience

That's awesome! What kind of seeds if you don't mind me asking! I just started Granny Smith, honey crisp and red delicious, along with a "wild Montana" variety, I'll be planting them out this year.

Any way I could steal a few of those peach scions from you as well??

Well, my grafts stated growing in the basement after a few weeks, so since the weather is gonna hold up well, they went into the nursery until they get planted out next year. I wanted to let them sit for a few more weeks but didn't want to risk them dying in the basement from lack of light...

Yeah I got two WWC from them and one dolgo that look the same caliber as yours. I heard good things but, I am def not happy about what they look like as well, with my soul quality I doubt they will be fruiting for 5-6 years now.

Holy smokes! That's a lot! Good job brother!!!

I also got a few from Cummins yesterday. A couple of the crabs were "wonky" topped. I just caged them and then used sticks as make shift horizontal holds to keep them moving upright. Has always worked out well for us. That or a loose fitting cut garden hose with ropes.

Hey gents. Since I'm brand spanking new to grafting. I had a quick question. I just grafted around 40 trees. All are sitting in my basement (sandstone) at around 50-60 degrees. How long do you guys wait until you plant them into their beds/ pots/ field etc...? I heard a week or two to let the...
