Be glad you're getting notified and not just fined. I got pulled over in NC and the ticket number on my ticket didn't match the number in their system. I ended up paying almost double the original cost because of court fees before I had it all taken care of. Should have been about $200 and I...

Im looking at adding some plums to my property. Ideally I would like to be able to graft NY9 or similar late summer/early fall variety. What rootstock would be good for that? It seems not all plums are the same and I have zero experience.

They look delicious. What oil do you recommend?

I lost a golden delicious last year to a beaver. It got big enough and the limbs were well out of deer reach so I pulled the cage off it. BAM! Gone!

A buddy of mine bought 100 pumpkins and in a few weeks the deer had them gone. Most years a put a few pumpkin seeds around my trees but I've never seen one get bigger than a softball before the deer chow it down. Im in basically a zero ag area.

Screen is going on, I already bought it the same day as the paint.

No. I've been planting trees for about 8 years and never even had one nibbled on.

I thought about getting a small can and mixing it but the spray, dash of seasoning, then spray seemed easier.

I sprayed about 20 fruit trees trunks with white paint, put some slap ya mama on them, then did a light spray over it so it sticks. Last year was the first year I had any mouse/vole issues and they killed 5 trees. Tomorrow I'll put on the window screen i bought. One of the main ingredients is...

Maybe it'll help a property sell easier. I planted a honeycrisp in my yard and have several other like Fuji and gala planted around. I don't expect a realtor to adjust my property up because of them, but a buyer may choose my property over another because of it. A hunter may also like the...

I got a shed buck today in PA. I still have the itch to hunt and will probably do some late season archery for another doe.

Here in PA its different depending on the property and season. During archery I see a handful on private and 1-5 on public. During rifle its a lot more. Opening day on public I saw 20-25 by noon on public. I shot a buck at noon so I didn't see any more because I was busy, but there was a...

It started as a week and expanded in most units to 2 or 3 weeks, some are the entire season. This year its 1 week outside a handful of units.

I was just texting my neighbor today about bear damage at his place. I don't know what unit you're in, but I cant believe they cut 3D down to one week of archery. We are filthy with bears here and should be open all archery season.
