My wife and son have their tags this year and will be hunting on my land. My friend has a 40 a couple miles down the road with his tag. We are not baiting too serious. Our land is 4 1/2 hrs away so we just throw out 5 gallons whenever one of us gets up there. We will get serious late August.

No, I should of took one. Everything thing was really wet and the mosquitoes were no joke. I will get one next time or do some research. It isn't a shrubs or tree looks like just a 3ft tall plant. The stem and leaves are green but all along the edges are red. It has glossy look also.

Update on the second summer after the alder shearing. Everything is really starting to really thicken up. Alders are 4 - 5ft tall now and growing. The first picture is a large healthy clump of elderberry. The second is a 10ft clump of hazelnuts that produced a decent amount of nuts last year...

I would say that was exactly happened this year. Just when you thought it was warming up it was in the 40s again.

It is over the whole tree but sparse. Maybe about 20 of these flowers. Nothing like the first bloom when the whole tree was blossoms.

I have a red anjou pear tree that bloomed out weeks ago, maybe even a month. It has fruit on it the size of a dime. I took a ride in back and it has flowers on these long stems. Is this normal? What is going on with this tree?

I do layering also. I take those landscaping staples to pin them down, but I don't dig them up. I just let them grow there. I think it is the fastest best way to get them to spread. You just have to have some that are established first.

I had good growth out of the ROD cuttings i planted at home last spring. From last spring till now about 18 inches. I poked them thru a piece cardboard and it seemed to work pretty well to keep the weeds down. The other picture is cuttings i planted this spring.

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...

Nevermind, no they don't. All sold out now.

Yes, I think they had a bunch left over still. The dolgo rootstock is all sold out.

Received my order yesterday Keer Roadkill crab Bigdog Hunters deer pear 10 antovonka rootstock All the trees look great, the roots are really impressive.

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...

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?

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.
