My success rate bench grafting pears has been abysmal despite using identical technique (even on the same day) as bench grafting apples. My guess is I had rootstock with viral or disease issues that ruined the batch. Top-working pears has been much more successful for me. I’ll be interested to...

Ribeye, GB casserole, fries and fried morels. A little dry wine on the side, tonight was heavenly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My brother left 8 acres of standing beans and found 2 sheds. The glory days are WELL behind and gone forever Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have zero shrubs or trees ordered. I will probably order some M111 as I have some scion ordered. I’d like to do some miscanthus for fun. It’s been chainsaw work and scouting for me this winter. I prepped a public land spot yesterday, have one more to do. Funnel work (with the chainsaw) and...

Pears wake up earlier than apples for me. You want the tree waking up, leaves just starting to open, buds just starting to break. But up until petal drop is fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You sound like a woman. “It wasn’t WHAT you said, but HOW you said it.” I’m sorry but your suicidal empathy along with all the liberal white women is what allowed us to get to this point. Don’t obstruct police, don’t feast off this country like a parasite and don’t vote for communists and we’ll...

I don’t go cheap anymore on cages. I use this along with 2 T posts. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/red-brand-woven-field-fence-330-ft-l-x-47-in-h-3610163 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Backstrap cooked to absolute perfection. You can see the hole from my new wireless meat thermometer. Might be my best Xmas gift. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What state manages deer better than Iowa? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We’ve been told hunting is dying with recruitment numbers in the toilet, but on the other hand there are fewer mature bucks than we’ve seen in decades? So which is it? I’d say there are too many hunters, especially non- resident, and the states need to prioritize their residents over out of...

Yes. My methods are a bit nontraditional. I tend to broadcast my deep woods corn plots a little later and heavier than most: late October at about 10k# per acre. No fertilizer necessary. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Opener of gun season in illinoiz. I’m on a 10 acre piece that has a lot of pressure but a couple of good ones around. Looking to high grade a 3 year old with great potential. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Saw little ones moving last night and then heard deep, longer tending grunts coming from the bedding without any movement, right at closing time. Big guy was likely getting it on. Last day of rutcation for me today, back to the coal mines tomorrow. I sat in this area last year and missed an...

It depends on the spot and the temps. When it’s cold, they get back to bed later. I’ve been seeing bucks right at 0800. I’m getting to the tree at 5:30-6 to set up, so I’m in well before they get there. If your access is through food sources with deer you plan to hunt and there isn’t a back...

Blessed to have such a great wife, cursed to lose her too soon. I’m terribly sorry for your loss. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
