    Still waiting on some good target buck but we have no shortage of animals. Getting 25-35 deer a night pretty regularly. Got a few decent buck floating around but nothing that has me chomping at the bit yet. C’mon up to PA and fill your freezer

    Mahindra 4550. Picked it up brand new leftover model. It doesn’t have many of the bells and whistles you’d expect from a modern tractor but it’s an absolute workhorse. Like a 2024 version of a tractor built in the 80s hahah. I’ve dug some pretty massive stumps in my backyard with the backhoe &...

    Whole field was 7-9ft tall prior. Only real objective was to prevent weed seed floating into my other field. I know there’s a decent bit of clover underneath. I’m interested to see if any pokes through when it gets a little cooler.

    Brush hog is out of commission & wanted to lay this field down before the weed seed got any worse than it already was. My tractor and a back blade knocked it down pretty nicely. I’m sure a good bit of the grasses will stand back up but I know it kicked down the broad leaves pretty well. First...

    Habitat Talk International Reunion - Coming Soon!

    Okay, for starters, the title is clickbait. There is no event BUT I would love to spark up a conversation. I’m a frequent of many forums that have informally scheduled meetups and/or scheduled joint hunting trips together. HabitatTalk casts a far wider geographical berth from than those I’m...

    My lordy. He’d about fit in with a herd of angus. He’s throwing those youngins around like ragdolls I bet! Looks like he is just getting some reps in. Sparring like he knows he’s in training for the big event. I know there’s a few other bruisers hanging around that may be able to put up a fair...

    Good lord. He's ready to put the beat down on some youngins this fall. Hope he fills your freezer.

    Here is a picture of the exclusion cage on the older section of the plot. It was actually literally down to dirt this summer before I planted the bigger field. They moved over there & this field has actually bounced back decently

    I’ve got an overnight trip planned on state forest land with my brother in law chasing mountain buck in no man’s land (prob not many deer up there either 😂). So I’m gonna set up a few blinds & ladder stands around and hopefully my wife, old man, father in law, and maybe brother get a stab at a...

    I threw some leftover buckwheat 2 weeks ago. I've got a couple bushel of rye leftover I'll throw this weekend or next, might pickup a few pounds of clover too. I counted 13 buck in the field at once the other day so I hope someone connects with at least 1 year this year 🤣

    Counted 30 from the garage in daylight this evening when I walked down from the house (not all pictured here). By the time the season rolls along the field might be bare dirt. After Labor Day gathering with family I came up the driveway and hit the field with a spotlight & had about 40 in those...

    I have one on the original plot but never got around to putting one here unfortunately. Wish I did just to see how it would have looked.

    Pretty happy with germination & weed suppression with the throw/mow. Deer are keeping it mowed down tight though! Counted 12 buck and 8 doe in the field yesterday at 6pm when I got home from scouting public lands nearby with my brother in-law. We are scouting some big woods in the PA...
