Well with the ‘23 season over and two of my target bucks dead on other places it’s time to get to work. I am starting with Jack and squirting gums on the cutover to try to open the canopy and get some cover back. Probably did 200 trees today before the antique hatchet I was using gave up the...

Thank you sir, I see that it is not, maybe that is the better option for this application Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I read about basal spray but I’m worried about killing the pines and oaks that may be next to them. Is triclopyr ground active Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

With our season winding down here in Va I’m beginning to assess what I need to do on my farm in the off season. I have a 34 acre cutover which used to hold deer but it is starting to open up. This cutover is mostly sweet gum and pine with some oak saplings mixed in. Most trees are in the 12-15...

Well sitting in the stand on the clover plot this evening, only the 3rd sit on it of the year. The bucks are starting to move and this time lot is loaded most evenings. Had 12 in this acre plot the other evening. Overall I’m happy with how it turned out. Still patchy in a few spots but it’s...

I finished my Ford 861 diesel project and was looking for the next project. I picked up a running 9n the other day that I want to redo, but then on Facebook marketplace today I found this planet jr super tuffy for a good price. Went and picked it up and it needs a few minor things done such as...

Between buying a house and a crazy work schedule I really haven’t had time to do much at the land this year which is pretty disappointing but life happens. I have kept up with the bushhogging and there are two great bucks on the property this year. You will recognize one from years past, he has...

Well it’s looking like a familiar face is back…. And his friend looks like he has brows for days. Things could get interesting! Went down and bushhogged the plot today, lots of clover but it was getting over run with dog fennel. Need to figure out how to curb that problem. Also put a new...

There are only about 6-7 of these on the whole tree and that’s fine, atleast I know I’m getting somewhere. These are strictly for wildlife Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I’m new to the whole fruit tree thing, my trees have been in the ground going on their third year. Can I expect fruit this year or what are these on the tree? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Went to the land today to get a little bit of stuff done once I got out of the woods turkey hunting. Not a whole lot to share other than the main plot which is clover looks great. Had to cut the winter rye off of it today, it was getting way too tall. Also put up two cedar bluebird houses my...

My main clover plot is really looking good to start the year. Looks even better when this happens, maybe Saturday I can kill him in the plot. The clover and the trophy rock really seem to be pulling the herd in as well, it is nothing to get 8-9 deer in the plot at one time, these 5 frequent...

So last year I got some American plum seedlings from nativ nurseries and put them in pots. Only one of them really did any noticeable growing but I took them out yesterday and planted all 4 of them. I am hoping these will grow in a tight cluster on this edge and produce some fruit. Hopefully all...

It’s getting closer and closer to being opened all the way up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
