    What trees are you planting spring 2026 ?

    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...

    Best Month to graft

    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

    Time to lighten up - Laughter is good medicine Part II

    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...

    What's for dinner?

    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

    Are the glory days of deer hunting coming to a close?

    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...

    I just had two 8 points come through, zoomed past my lane, downwind and gone. I’m on public setting up in a new tree and I’m 5-10 yards off from ideal. Next year those things are toast Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I used to be an afternoons only guy but camera and harvest data and recent personal experience have changed my mind. These cold mornings from 8-11 have been best. I’m not convinced on the midday thing unless it’s super cold. Right now, IMO mornings>>>afternoons>midday, but total hours in a good...

    I’m pounding public ground again, have a guy set up 300 yards away. It’s still a solid spot if i want to shoot a rutted up 3 year old. Super cold weather moves in tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
