There were two old mobile homes with some poor folks living in them when I bought my place. I never stepped inside as they didn't have money to move until I closed. Turned out a LOT rougher than I had imagined. NO way was I going to spend a dime on them. I gave them to two guys to scrap them...

The "dual" version works well for me: https://www.channelmaster.com/collections/antenna-amplifiers/products/amplify-adjustable-gain-preamplifier-cm-7777hd Mount it up on the antenna. Power is sent up to it via the RG6 cable the signal comes down on. It has two gain settings available.

You need to hurry up, may already be too late to H & S, or girdle. Once the sap starts flowing up the trunks it flushes out the herbicide, keeping it from getting to the roots.

The skunk spray is greasy, so you need something strong to cut it and not just smear it around the dog. We had success with GOOP hand cleaner.

I made a guard from plans I found on the internet. Was quite of bit a work - probably just buy the next one.

I've had a Win 70 with a VariXIII 3-9 in 25-06 for a long time. Sweet gun. I carry it in good weather. My two sons have killed deer with it too.

I don't try to trap coyotes as they don't seem to be a big problem. I have too many deer as it is - and coyote trapping is probably too advanced for my lazy arse. I do hit the possums and coons every other year or so - trying to help the turkeys which are way down in population. I started...

MFR will be one of the first to leaf out in the spring so you can hit it with herbicide without killing off your desirable plants in the woods.

I started with dog proofs but have gone to body grips inside a cubby box for a number of reasons. Dead animal is the main one. 5" is the max size allowed on land in MO, works fine on coons. Walmart Ol Roy dog food for bait.

Looks like those branches are dead?

I'd also recommend you go lay it all out to the NRCS people. Busting sod to plant crops to enroll in CRP may not fly like you hope. Even if they are taking new CRP enrollments in 4-5 years.

I like them too, however one caveat. I had one mounted on a t-post as shown above, had plenty of pics then a deer walked up to it and messed with it, knocking the camera straight down. Not a problem until a heavy rain - that Moultrie hanging upside down got water in it and fried.

Don't know about all PTO shafts, but some are only able to slide together in a certain orientation. Was helping cut silage last summer and a PTO shaft got pulled apart (square shafts) on a wagon. A button/groove on shafts were there to make it go back together such that the u-joints on either...
