I quoted what he said specifically about the rut time period and how bucks naturally spread out during this time, leaving better habitat for lesser habitat. He did say in December the bucks go back to the best habitat.

I watched most of the thermal drone study podcast. One thing he briefly talked about was when the host asked him about the best habitat locations in November. Cut and paste from the transcript... "Deer are really evenly distributed. And I just mean that, you know, you might have the best...

CuddeLink cameras do not record video when CuddeLink is on. Anyone looking at buying this system should be aware of this. The data plan is cheap so this is a great system for multi-cameras if you do not care about video.

I bought a NorthStar ATV sprayer, new in the box, from someone local on Marketplace late last year for a great price. I'm just getting around to setting it up in the back of my UTV so I can't offer my experience using it. Comparing the tank to my Fimco pull-behind I think the NorthStar is...

Ok, thanks for posting this. I only wish I could weld! I might try the JB Weld.

Thanks, that's probably a good idea. I was looking at the directions for the stand and it does include nylon washers but not for all the metal on metal points. I hate the idea of taking down my existing stands and placing nylon washers where needed but I'll try and get it done before the start...

I've got three of these Big Game 1.5 ladderstands. I've used them for three or four years now. They are comfortable and have lots of room but I cannot get them completely quiet. The later in the year and the colder it gets the more noise they make. They squeak or pop whenever I get up from the...

Disc, drag harrow to breakup clumps, broadcast seed and drive over with UTV wheels.

So this 3/4 acre plot that I need to lime is currently in winter wheat. It was planted last September. The wheat is thick and 18"-24" high in most spots and looks really good. I know I need to eliminate the wheat before planting brassicas in early/mid August. I can mow it and/or spray it. I...

Wow SD51555! This is extremely helpful information! Thanks for posting! Time to buy some lime!

Yes, I have a tractor with a front end loader. Could I just take a bucket full, drive and sprinkle it and back drag it?

Earlier this year I got a quote from a quarry without knowing how much I needed for 4 ton of Ag lime, I just wanted a rough idea, they quoted me $150 delivered. I don't have a spreader for ag lime. I'm not sure I want to spread a ton of lime by hand. How bad of a job is it?

I need to apply lime to a plot. It will be brassicas this year. I was hoping for some recommendations for the amount of pelletized bags of lime or gypsum to buy for this plot. The bags are 40 pounds. Lime is $5 per bag. Gypsum is $7 per bag. The plot is about 3/4 acre. I will be planting in...

Project is complete. 30 Norway spruce planted, mats down, mulched and caged. Thanks again for all the advice!

Water in the cameras must be a somewhat common complaint Tactacam receives. I see in one of their promotional videos for the new camera they make a point of showing the camera being tested with water spraying on it. Thankfully I have not had the water issue. I bought my first Reveal camera in...
