Very informative. I think setting up a deer exclosure is a very good way to see if you have an over browsing issue. I have toured areas that utilize exclosure fences, and it's amazing to see the difference between what grows inside and outside of the fence. I would recommend that anyone with...

Sounds very informative.............post back on what you think of it.

Sorry guys, Been away for a few days. Too good of a place to muck up. Will think before I post in the future............;)

That sounds like a great idea to me. What would a guy have to loose if he were to plant 100 of each for several years? Is that a dumb idea? I think I will try it unless someone can tell me why not to.

A good alternative to chaps is "safety pants." For about the same price ($70.00) you can get the pants. They are easy to put on, resist snow and water, don't snag, ride up or get caught on limbs as easily as chaps and still provide protection. They can get a little warm once temps get above...

Awesome looking property! Looks like a lot of fun. What are your plans for the newly released Apple trees as far as pruning goes? I have topped suppressed, tall and spindly Apple before with iffy results. Some actually died. Is it best to just leave them alone and let the extra sunlight do...

Survey completed. Doe only or limited buck season in counties where CDAC recommendations are to "reduce herd" is just what is needed. If EAB is out, something has to replace it. Guess I am one of the fudds. Do not agree with any "bonus buck" option.

I agree with both of you.......just pointing out what some are saying.

Have you noticed if the beetle affects saplings?..............or does it just target the larger trees.

Very true. I think most of us in the midwest do not have anything to complain about so far this winter season. At least compared to the last two winters.

When we owned a farm in BC WI, I wondered about that exact question asked to our daughters. Now that we own land in far Northern WI, I don't worry about it.:D If the boyfriend is willing to put the time and effort into hunting a WI Northwoods buck............go for it!! If he can put up with...

Might be a little outdated, but here is some info on Tamarack mortality from the WI DNR. http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/ForestHealth/documents/2013/ForestHealthNO-Apr13.pdf

According to this article, deer numbers in the North are where they should be. The Author says “My big message for policymakers is we should follow some other states like Pennsylvania in basing our deer management on the habitat conditions that the deer are existing in.”...

About five inches on the ground here in Buffalo Co. WI. 1-3 inches expected here tonight. Snowing hard right now. Put several cords of wood on the ground yesterday with hopes of hauling it out later in the week when temps moderate.

You may leave some money on the table by splitting the job. With that said, I would have one parcel done now and the other done at a later time.
