I have used the tubes on about 20 trees and had great success. I have also used the window screen and 5 ft welder wire fence on about 80 trees and had great success. I don’t think you can go wrongoin either one if you pick the correct location. That’s more important than the tube / fence.

I too am done with Bud 118 for reasons stated above. I’ve had some blow even due to heavy winds one year, too. I now in the last two years have bought 40 trees from BlueHills which use Dolgo. Let’s hope these are as good as they sound.

When I get really heavy rainfall in a short period, yes.

I’ve had a plot that didn’t drain well before and used Imperial clover by Whitetail Institute. It held up well. According to Google, it appears as tho Aslike is one of the top clovers for poorly drained soils. I would like to do a mix if 3/4 perennial clovers in this 3/4 acre plot next year. I’m...

I don’t know where you are located but I planted about 5 acres of turnips and GHFR as well. I’m located in Connecticut . I’ve always had softball size turnips and very good size radish except this year. We did have a 5 day heat waved here in Ct about a week after my planting. I researched it and...

I agree. I love looking at a drop tine. I’ve never seen one while on stand. They are certainly beautiful to look at.

Look at the brows on him. Beautiful deer.
