Good video with some interesting observations.

My curiosity got the better of me when I seen this. I came across the article below. The article states the US dropped 3 bombs an hour 24 hours a day...... https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jan/09/america-dropped-26171-bombs-2016-obama-legacy

This is an Ayers Pear bought from Blue Hill Nursery when he had his half off sale. It was sprayed as soon as we planted. I think this also has the fireblight cankers, though not as prevalent as the Keiffer above. The other pears I bought at the same time don't have any spots.

We sprayed Bonide's copper spray a few days after I started this post and every week since. I cut the tops back and the branches off at the trunk. We used alcohol to clean the prunes before and after every cut. I discarded the cut portions in a zip lock bag after every cut. I was going to cut...

In Iowa, isn't it legal to put minerals out before season? But, it has to be removed "x" number of days before season? Isn't this situation similar to the Joe Franz buck?

Thanks!

Kieffer in the other field.

What are these black spots on this Kieffer Pear? There's a Sweet Advent next to it that doesn't have it. I have another Kieffer in a different field that doesn't have it either. All planted last year.

The narrowest distance is approximately 18 yards. I think the blind to the scrape tree in the plot is around 15 yards. My wife bowhunts, and at that distance, she doesn't have to wonder if they're in range for her.

Approximately 10-12'.

I've screened all my 1/2 acre and larger food plots with switchgrass. I want to cut down on the sight lines as much as possible, especially when all the leaves are on the ground. If I need more height, I plant miscanthus. Below is a 1/2-acre food plot surrounded by woods.

And as Brian said, they become really good during the rut. I got numerous pics of this buck chasing this doe and both stopped to get a drink.

Here's what I did: Get a 110-gallon stock tank from your local Tractor Supply store. Get your wife multiple shovels just in case one fits her hand better than the others. As she digs the hole, have her put the dirt in the SxS so she can patch some spots on the SxS trail. Win / win. Have her...
