    Black Spots on Kieffer Pear

    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.

    Screen around a food plot?

    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.

    Screen around a food plot?

    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.

    Minimal Excavation Waterholes

    Minimal Excavation Waterholes

    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...

    MDC stoops to a new low, kill 12 bucks a year.

    WI has tried some variation of this in the past. It's never really gotten to far and hopefully it doesn't. This group was proposing $1,000 to the landowner, $1,000 to the hunter, and $300 to the sample testing agency...

    Am I the only land mgr without a SxS

    One of those items we should have bought sooner than we did. We also have two dogs that are with us all the time. They LOVE riding in the SxS.

    Question for the group! Over-Seeding Rye and Winter Wheat into standing beans???

    I'm broadcasting WR into beans tonight after work on the slight possibility the 47% chance of rain tomorrow actually happens. That said, I'm in the broadcast now group.

    Name of Land, What would you put on sign?

    Ours would be "The Land." Original, I know. We don't live on our property so any conversation is something like, "We're going to the land", "We're at the land", "Bonfire Sat night at the land", etc.. Those two words actually get my labs off the couch and heading towards the door.
