    Is it to early?

    I think it is the weather conditions. I didn't have the best radish or turnips the past 2 years either. I believe it was 3 years ago I had huge turnips the size of a baseball cap. Pictures are on here somewhere. I've been doing plots up at my place over 20 years . The ideal planting week I've...

    Winke Gave Up On ROD

    After trial and error for many years. Besides caging them, the best tip I can give is to just have only one bud ( sometimes two)above the ground. You want the cutting putting most of its energy into .making roots not leaves the first year. I still get 8-12 inches of growth a year. Since I...

    What is this?

    I have this weird object on my camera. It is in two of the pictures and is moving. This is in far Northern WI and I don't believe that there is any insects out yet. What do you think it could be?

    Good basic new pump shotgun

    I was going to say to get a Nova. Also agree with you on the 870s. I think they were good in the past. I borrowed a old wingmaster that I really liked, but the 870 express ruined them for me. I think it's one of the cheapest, poor quality shotguns out there.

    High bush cranberry cages?

    I would definitely spread them out. The recommended spacing is 8-10 feet in rows. When I planted my the first go round I didn't cage mine and they just disappeared. I'm not sure if it was rabbits or deer but the following year there was no sign they were ever there. I would try to do whatever...

    Grouse and Crabapples

    I would think that would be a bit too big for grouse. It seems like the crabs under 5/8 inch and smaller is what they usually prefer. I could see turkeys pecking and eating full size apples but not grouse. If your looking for something besides small crabs, Washington hawthorn and highbush...

    Wood Duck Box Builds

    If you are seeing a pair they probably are looking for nesting sites. If it is just a male your seeing the hen is probably sitting on the nest already. I'm in se WI and have been woodies the last 2-3 weeks. I don't think any are in my boxes yet.

    High bush cranberry cages?

    I have some that have been in the ground 2 years and I'm getting by with just 2 ft diameter by 3ft high cages. I will have to go to atleast to 4ft high cages probably this year or next. These things can get huge. I gave a bunch to a friend that planted them along his road by his house. I would...

    Canadian fly in fishing recommendations

    I think fishing wise, every fly in lodge you will have good fishing. They wouldn't do all the work of flying in all the materials for a cabin and investing time of building a remote cabin on a sub par lake. Every lake is different thou. Some lakes you can get a 100 walleye a day but they are on...

    Planting spring tritacale in fall.

    That might of been me with the peas your referring to. I planted a cover crop of oats and peas and a 1/2 acre of straight 4010 peas. They looked awsome. They were 2 ft tall with pods, but nothing was hitting them in the summer. I went back up later and they were destroyed. Completely gone like...

    Planting spring tritacale in fall.

    They won't regrow in spring where I am , too far north. I do believe in the states farther south they do. I broadcast mine they do great.
