    More nursery persimmons and pear

    Anyone have luck with either Morse persimmon or any of their pears? I’m trying to find a place to buy persimmon. But bluehill is always sold out before I can get to it. Any other recommendations for persimmons that are a little more mature than seedling? Anyone ever try hybrid pear from Morse...

    Orchard location

    This question has been asked before but seeing if anyone has changed their thought process. Where are you placing your orchards? One single orchard or multiple? Are you placing them in a destination food source? Are you placing a couple in transition plots? Any in interior kill plots? Just...

    Beans vs soil builder mix

    There’s no corn or beans for about 2 miles, maybe 3. Got a guy that plants smaller plots mile n half away. There are folks close by running corn piles which I’ll have couple feeders out to combat/compete. Got an acre and half of ladino mixed in with RW clover, frost seeded two weeks ago...

    Beans vs soil builder mix

    Thoughts on a broadcast of the wr clover into the vitalize mix? Would it need to be drilled or would broadcast +rain work

    Beans vs soil builder mix

    I’m thinking for my goals a mix is ideal, living 2000 miles away it makes sense to plant something I have to worry less about. I was just curious if there were any diehard bean guys that would jump in and tell me why beans would be a must. Probably a stupid question, keep in mind I’ve lived in...

    Beans vs soil builder mix

    My new property did pretty good this year for first year, had three bucks over 130 using in regularly. We cut corn about three weeks ago and it’s getting hammered every evening often times with 20+ deer. I was surprised that 3.5 acres of corn wasn’t torn down by mid November. With spring coming...

    Food plot design?

    I appreciate all the insight. I’ve already purchased 4 acres worth of Switch so I’m going to move forward on that plan, probably not to the crazy degree I was thinking but definitely get some screening in and section off food into quarter acre chunks. My buddy is frost seeding clover in the...

    Food plot design?

    Copy that and thanks for the insight. I’m working on planting an additional 2 aces on my uncles piece that connects the two properties, permission pending. If I am able to do this, it will be great for housing deer on me/us as topography between the two would be ideal and teaming the two...

    Food plot design?

    Looking for max draw power and holding a mature buck or more. Likely devote it to fall planting for now, haven’t made up my mind yet on what exactly I will plant but likely run same seed throughout. Was thinking the vitalize rotation or something similar. last year was year one, added 25 fruit...

    Food plot design?

    Looking for some advice. I have 6 acres to work with, it’s a dead end field due to a chain of ponds and then a road. I was planning on having big food, over 8 acres but got pulled back to 6. Do any of you compartmentalize your plots, say like Tony Lapratt approach? I have 5 acres of RC big...

    Switchgrass in SE Ohio

    Anyone have any success with switchgrass in Southern Ohio? I am looking into the RC blends, likely bigrock. I have roughly 12 acres of tillable but unfortunately a good portion butts up to a sloppy neighbor. In talking with him he's a train wreck in all aspects. He hammered his stands leading...
