I didn't mean to imply diesel couldn't be used, it is just no longer recommended. I can't see why MSO would be an issue. I used regular cooking oil as a stop-gap once and had the same results as with basal oil.

Eclipseman, did you use the same seeding rates for both methods? I am no expert and TnM, but I have come up with a couple opinions: conditions are more important/ can be less forgiving, seeding rate must be somewhat higher (I go at least 50% above conventional) and it seems like readily visual...

I just did some work for the PA DCNR spraying barberry, MFR and autumn olive. The mix also contained gly, but it was Garlon 3A at 4 ounces per gallon, using water and surfactant as base. The state no longer allows cutting herbicides with diesel. Don't be afraid to spray foliage and root collars...

Preparing for war and declaring it aren't necessarily the same thing. It sounds like the OP has a good start, as long as the neighbor lives up to what he has said. It sounds like it's not a matter of "if" he has a deer cross the line onto your property, but "when", so being collegial when this...

I have Alpen Shasta Ridge 10x42's that my kids have recently broken. They were a great value for the money, but now the company is out of business, so the lifetime warranty is worthless; I am stuck with a busted binocular. So I am now in the market, but don't want to get into the same...

If your chain spins with the saw at idle your chain is too loose and/or your idle is way too high.

Simple answer: top first, beginning with limbs not under tension. Remove debris as you go so you can see and move around easily. Once you get to the limbs under tension (if you are figuring this out as you go), you'd better have a working understanding of physics, because the whole "equal and...

So very sorry for your loss, I can't imagine what you're going through. I hope your family can all pull together through this time.

It's been a few years since we hunted it, but I think you would still be good. Try this: http://www.rstgfp.net/2016-season/ It is not overseen by the state at all- the tribe is independent. Some spots are similar to prairie hunting, while other areas have some sizable wooded draws. Here's the...

If you're not married to the idea of the Black Hills (which is a beautiful area), the Rosebud reservation is a good option; you buy your tags right there. There are some drawbacks, but there are plenty of birds to hunt. Never hunted NE, but there is plenty of Walk In hunting in KS. Study some...

I am still shooting my Switchback XT, and I don't know if I can part with it. Having said that, I am making every effort to NOT shoot a new Mathews... just to avoid temptation!

Knee braces would be diagonal between the bottom of the truss to the posts. Our sheds have them, but I don't think they're absolutely necessary. They're extra strength against shifting. Great looking build- you will pat yourself on the back big time for putting that style of trusses in, even if...

Every situation is different, but I could never see enticing deer to feed on roads I use to access the property. If some of them would work as trails that would guide deer by a stand, and you don't need them for access, that may work for you. I wouldn't just plant them all just because they're...

I made notes by the tree types above. Green briars, raspberries and black berries are good for cover and, of course, jelly. Mile a minute is worth going after. Stilt grass is a tough out, but I would hit it with gly when possible.I hate barberry, but it can provide security cover because it is evil.

Yes you can stump treat now. Are you in PA? I will be doing some work for DCNR and will stump treat with 5% Polaris and 20% Garlon 4. It sounds like you don't need a forester , but only because there's not enough meat on the bone for everyone to make money and also because you know what's going...
