I used to order most of my trees from Chief River. I can't believe their prices now. $9.00 for a 6- 12" seedling! Do people actually pay this? I know the price goes down the more you order but wow.

Tractor hp is rated on the pto hp much different than vehicles or riding lawnmower that are engine horsepower. I think you would regret having a Tractor that small. They seem to be more like a toy than a piece of equipment you could actually be productive with. I agree with 356 I would try to...

They were definitely not immature trees. I was guessing on how many they cut. I just saw them next to the road when I drove by. He probably just went with the first "honest "logger he talked to. My friend had a buyer stop by him too, offered him 30k for his. He turned them down.

My neighbor last year had his walnut cut. He ended up with $60,000. It looked like about a $1000 a tree. He said one brought $10,000. All of the trees were being shipped to China. He had some beautiful red oak that the buyer didn't even want. He gave him $75 a stick.

I have land in Rusk county also. It is like Washburn. The northern part is mostly public with a low population. The southern half is private/ farmland with moderate deer numbers. Last year they had over 10,000 doe tags for sale. Basically unlimited doe tags for anyone that wants to hunt here...

This will really throw the buck to doe ratio off.

Yes . I have something going on with this now. I've had my go cams for years and really like them. I have one out now and it seems all the deer are walking out of the food plot and walking up to the tree it on and looking right at it. I wasn't careful like I am during hunting season. I usually...

I heard they are good for making jams.

Our water lines are buried 3-4 feet deep under the frost line. The plumbing in the houses are usually fine as long as the heat stays on. Now the cabins are a different story. I need to drain all the pipes for winter. Blow them out with a compressor. Rv solution is poured down drains to keep...

I have never seen them and have hunted all over Wisconsin. One of my friends did say he found them walking in a bog around Black river falls. It would be cool to find some. I heard the deer like them.

My best bedding spots are where we clear cut. The areas came back with a 4 foot tall grass with all kinds of different shrubs. I think it's the mix of grass and shrubs that are the key?. The other spots are aspen and grass/ weed mix. They use the really thick aspen monoculture but don't seem to...

Absolutely, it sure seem to vary on different parcels.When I had my woods cut I bet I had close to a 1000 red maples cut. The following winter every single stump with sprouts was heavily browsed. This went on for the next 4-5 years. Now on year 8 all those maples are over 12 feet tall. They...

That's a awesome machine. Love the cat skidsteers. They are built like a tank. That thing should make work on your farm alot more enjoyable.

Thank you. It was about 90 percent upland. Alot of it was on a ridge. The 10 percent wetland caused some problems with my contractor. With all the upland he didn't need the ground to be really frozen so he wanted to get after my project right away. Without any frost he didn't want to cut the...

All that's left over from 12 ft high alder so thick you couldn't walk thru.
