I agree with this and have been in this position. Great points.

A Great and very complex topic in my mind. I have strong feelings both ways as I have struggled with and reported poaching activities ,but also strongly oppose government overreach (subjective opinion for sure). I have problems with evidence that isn’t obtained via a warrant or searches...

No, in my case I don't think my drag will go deep enough to cover this larger seed I am using for my summer plots . That's why I was looking to lighlty disc it in. Historically- with smaller seed I've just broadcast into a tilled up seedbed and run my chain drag over it. However- when I tried...

I will be planting Iron Clay Cow please, Lablab, sunflowers and Milo this weekend. I have both a disk and a drag harrow. I have never planted this mix before so not sure which method is better for covering this specific seed- which I know needs to be deeper than the smaller seed I normally...

Thanks. This is KY that I'm looking, and around 200 acres, of which about 80 are those mid-story height pine. around 5 acres are landing openings and probably another 4-5 of road

I am looking at purchasing some former timber company ground. The draws, slops and creek bottoms are in hardwood, and there are logging trails and some large landings on the property. That said, Basically all of the ridgetop and flat upland ground is in rows of pine that are probable 4-6" DBH. I...

Sounds like you’ve got good potential. I’m a believer in working with what you have to make it as good as possible. I have 51 acres and took the 25 open out of ag. Made 5 acres of nwsg cover and made about 2 acres of bedding in the woods. Different layout that yours but just meaning to say that...

Residency at the state level in my scenario. If I were KDFW, I would not be thrilled with the status of my budget. It would be looking to change that ratio.

I understand that point of view. I just see it differently. Each state draws a line somewhere. My line would be residency.

i have a ~50HP tractor with quick detach loader. It's jack of all trades and master of none- but works for me. That's probably where I'd start. Like swamp cat said- not the best tool for digging- no way i'd put in a pond with it. I would use it to create "wildlife water holes" but I would not...

Great topic. I was torn on this one between baiting, rifle season timing and the one I'm going to go with- I would make all Non resident big game (including turkey) done on a draw like Iowa or KS. I also hunt out of state, often in states with a draw, so I do understand both sides and still land...

Agreed 100% on this. I have gone to a crossbow due to shoulder issues and it's fine. I use an excalibur due to the simplicity. I could shoot just as accurately at the same distances with my vertical bow, and it was a more enjoyable shooting experience. Having now done both at length, I just...

My preference is for gear drive. I came up using gear drive but when I went to purchase my first brand new tractor a couple of years ago and was looking in the 50hp range I tested hydrostatic of multiple brands. MF, JD, Kubota and Kioti. For me I just could not get to where I liked it better...

This is the same with mine. If I am already running at a higher rpm I don’t even have to change that. Just make sure it doesn’t drop out. I think on my Kubota the only time you have to stop for a regen is if you have pushed the button it has to pause regen too many times. I believe that...

This is interesting. I would love to get away from regen. What system does it use to meet the teir4 rules?
