We are planting 4 acres of alfalfa to be bailed for deer and horses. Considering mixing in some timothy grass or clover. Any input / insights / experience on a mix vs pure alfalfa stand?

Keep us updates on the alfalfa only plot. We have a couple acre alfalfa that we hay for horses and deer that was over taken by grass. We put to beans this year with a plan to put back to alfalfa next year. Will need to decide if we mix anything with it.

That looks like amazing habitat! How have the deer responded? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

As someone who has bought your seed the past couple years, I’d agree and would buy this mix. Would also let me add the rye later in the year. Sent from my iPad using

We use both duke and z push-pull. Both work. I tend to use the Z traps more often. For bait, we typically use a mix of cat food and small marshmallows. We don’t fill it higher than the trigger. We put one swipe of peanut butter just inside the cuff. We had issues with mice stealing the bait, so...

We had some cuffs for coon. Set some snares for coyote and bobcat. And a couple 220 conibear bucket sets for bobcat where we caught the skunk and opossum. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We sell them for fence posts. $50 for a corner $25 for a line post. We have sold out every year for the past four years. They will last 2 to 3 times as long than a creosote fence post. The first few years we let all the hedge grow back as mineral stumps and future fence posts. The deer can keep...

Short story on the recovered buck… I had 7 encounters with this guy before I get on arrow into him on Nov 20. Each encounter was a story itself… From having him at 9 yrds and him hearing the arrow rub my rest as I drew back as the felt had worn off, to him coming by twice before legal shooting...

We’re letting that go to old field management. Letting the natives come up. It is on the edge of the timber that we plan to edge feather. And we have a food plots on either end of the old field. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And some random pics enjoying Gods creation… Couple swans on the pond yesterday: Couple nice early spring fish… First shed of the season: Last years cut hedge was hammered by deer. Great mineral stump for a couple years. Compared to a stump cut the same time 10 yrds away that...

First time adding structure to one of our ponds by cutting cedars and dragging them on to the ice. Didn’t quite get them all dragged out before the ice melted. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Annual hedge cutting. My college son and his buddy cut about 300 in a couple weeks. Including a few straight enough for bow stave logs. Still have a few posts for sale. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
