Our resident Marine recommends to blow the barn up ? Who would have thought ! Ha ha ( nothing but respect Bigbend )

This is very interesting G&G . I would love to hear more about your findings and I wish I had 50 years of data for my place ! Thank you,

Good call, I was thinking the same thing.

Winter is here in full force now so it's time to plan for the spring. New cuttings, new plantings and hopefully another good growing year. Happy New Year to each of you and I hope all is well. Thank you,

The season was a long month but a great time, I spent all my time looking for this guy. He made it through the end of the season so I'll hopefully be able to chase him again next year. Some new guys showed up once the snow fell. I know the bucks aren't using my property as much in the summer...

A number of cool things happened this fall. This is a buck my wife named Doug. Doug would stop by in the night and cruise around. He was easy to identify with only one real tall tine. I saw a post on Facebook from a local hunter who harvested Doug, as the crow flies, 4 miles away. I sent...

Well gentlemen, I did not find a buck this year. So happy to see that some of you did and your hard work paid off. I'm still investing in the future I'll say. I was lucky enough to get out and enjoy many days afield. I spent sometime looking for grouse. But most of my time was looking...

But things in the woods are looking up ...... Best of luck and thank you,

The boys are still showing up too late and now that the day light savings time has kicked in the after work sits are getting shorter and shorter.

It's been a while since an update from these woods but things are looking up boys. I have been getting ready to naturally cold stratify some more acorns, I think I have 1,000 planted and ready to be stored in the shed. These will go to friends and family who care for their land the way that we...

Fall rains arrived just in time and the new deepwoods plots is sprouting. I overseeded 8 pounds of winter rye this morning. It's not much but will slowly improve this soil and make for a nice little pit stop in years to come. I am doing a red oak experience, leaving them out all winter...

Awesome time of the year around here in New England. Things are really looking up. A heavy bodied small rack buck ran in front of my truck this morning around 11 am. My sawtooth oak acorns arrived from @IkemanTx , thank you again. The LC mix food plot is an awesome draw.

Thanks Merle, I got the nuts from the American Chestnuts Foundation and I hope they grow. I am looking to start some more this spring.

Thank you NH, I'm in central Maine, Penobscot County. I think your comment about screening is a good idea, I hadn't thought of that. Thanks

I put six of my american chestnuts in the ground today and will be excited to watch them grow. I'm also going to do a test with some red oak acorns. I potted them today and will leave them in the shop all winter. No heat, just like mother nature intended. We shall see. Thank you,
