Pretty tree if you have just males...we had them outside the forestry school and you knew when the females were fruiting....had to sit within the inner courtyards because of the smell.

I started watching his stuff...I honestly like his methods and personality more than others. Thats just me. I'll reach out to him for sure!

I follow a lot of these guys. Jake Blow commented on one of my comments about Integrated Pest Management on a post he had regarding Roundup being banned...I'm trying to grow my following so commenting on their stuff is getting me some exposure I think and hopefully network with them in the...

Would love to see the before and after of that transformation!

This close to what I'm trying to achieve. The objective is what can use in the meanwhile until the spruce are established and got the height to be the main windbreak/screen from the road. There is definitely places to add further screens down the road, but would like to test prior before going...

Yeah this project is near Viking MN. Another will be up near Kittson County close to the Canadian border. I got ahold of Rogstad Services that utilize the Real World Wildlife Projects and discussed some ideas. Client had used Egyptian last year and it just didn't seem to hold up to the...

I've been getting more landowners as clients looking at whitetail habitat specifically in the NW/North Central parts of Minnesota. Now I've been doing some deep diving and researching including the Mississippi Deer Lab, MN DNR, North Dakota game, as well as watching videos from Whitetail...

Lake of the Woods is full of houses at this time...I'm only a few hundred yards from the lake, but I'm not that interested to go fishing...maybe I'll pop into a house through Adrians this weekend or Monday.

Access is a large part of Hunter declines as well as the tools and tech. Tools have allowed experienced hunters to scout and hunt more effectively, it has also lowered the bar of entry for lesser experienced hunters who are just in it for clout, social media, or honestly do not care one bit...

Cougars are all over. The likelihood of seeing one is probably lower than wolves just because they are by themselves for the most part. We’ve had them pass through MN. I remember my folks seeing one or two over the years by our cabin in Phillips WI. The DNR and general consensus is that they...

My ol boy Blue! It’s my home. Hopefully they’ll bring back the hint as they seem to have overwhelming success the first go around.

It is cool that there pack names and data of their territories. Is there any mapping data available to see those territory extents? I know GIS (geographic information systems) and would be interested creating such a portal for tracking.

For the most part pretty good! Of course many variables that determine the stumpage price I can get for a landowner including distance to mill(s), the amount to be cut and quality, products (pulpwood vs bolts vs saw timber), access, etc. I’ve been seeing aspen go from $8 all the way to $37. But...

Oh I trust me...I use to work for MNDNR for 8 years. I found a dead collared wolf in Lake of the Woods, it had already been reported but year, it looked like it had been taken care of one way or another. I remember someone also saying that bears are a major predator for moose calfs too...

I guess it will be left up to the states and their DNR/game departments to come up with local regulations. I'm curious what data there is about the wolf population in WI after they started their season. I know the permits went so fast it crashed the system haha. If each made their own season...
