Reading between the lines it appears he got a doe a mile to the north.

Yeah, I've seen his follow up video on that area and there are a pretty decent amount of oaks growing, they're a few feet tall now. Bill has a much lower deer density than we do here in MN, I don't think it would be near as successful here, however I do plan to include some oaks just not sure...

Have any links to the one tou have or have tried?

Watching two one year olds spar at a distance. One has a bum leg. 6 does/fawns just came running out into the cut corn field. They are kind of down wind but its blowing hard enough and they are far enough away I think. We'll see what happens, its a "magic X" day, wish I had some standing corn...

I don't think acorns would go through it but ash, elm, maple, etc should be no problem

Part of the contract as I'm aware (not enrolled yet) is site prep which would include spraying the grasses. I believe there is also cost share for follow up spraying of the grasses. I don't know anything about the contract in regards to paying it back. My plan would be to drill the seed in...

I've seen that video and that's kind of what I'm going for. I have plenty of switchgrass already, looking to get more of a woody component in other areas. Some fallow areas of old farm fields that I've let go have become basically 12-15' tall box elder thickets but I'm looking for more diversity...

Has anyone done this? Minnesota has a program called field to forest and its goal is to create timbered ground where there is currently ag or pasture. I'm going to enroll 4 acres of my pasture (hillside) ground. The options are to plant seedlings or do a "direct seeding" with tree/shrub seeds...

We had a 70/30 split on the walnut and I averaged around $1000/tree for 8 trees if I recall correctly.

It's starting to creep back up again towards ATH territory. Has some of the AI bubble fear diminished?

Seems like that platform is too low and would easily bottom out on any uneven terrain as well. I'm considering one of the 4 wheel powered machines but I'm cautious they have the power to climb a 250' bluff road.

I had some logged a few winters ago in MN which was basically a release for the next two cuttings in 10-20 years. The big trees grow 1/2"/year in these soils and the next crop is around 18-20" right now. They are mixed quality, but there are some veneer in there.

Lots of birds around this year, took my tractor to move a downed tree and saw several on the drive as well. Hope to make a run with the dog on a few soon.
