    Grapple Suggestions

    killing me with the six months... i have been dragging my feet on ordering an EA 66. Figured it was winter now and there was no rush. My last call to them around septemeber they were still running about 3 months. UGH! I figured as long as i got in an order by Feb i was good! Darn... i...

    Hunting cabin

    Thanks for sharing. Great build... great story here to track! Captivating for sure. I hate when guys spend my money but i have to throw out an idea for you. Have you considered a futon for the seats and to replace the cot? In our bunk houses upstairs we had cots. With me over 50 and...

    Blind heaters

    Air tight is great when the bugs/rodents are looking for a warm place to destroy. Having the ability to make it air tight when you aren't in it but having air flow when you are is the key to a good blind! I put plexi sliders inside over our windows in our wood blinds. So, we pull or open...

    Food plot distance from house

    These forums would be no fun if we all just answered....it depends... but i suspect that is true for every question asked on here. I can share our situation which is borderline comical. I have about 100 acres which is surrounded by 20-40 and other 100 acre properties all set up for...

    New man cave/deer blind

    Finished pics? Did you use it this season? I wish i had these skills (and time). Would love to put 2-3 more blinds up at my place. Tried to hire 2 different guys to do it. So few reliable carpenters out there. The good ones are sold out for their lifetimes! The amateur's love to tell...

    Blind heaters

    If you want serious...I second the Nu-Ways. They are AMAZING! I have three perm wood blinds with them inside vented out. Man do they hum. And because you can close door there is very little light at dawn or dusk (admittedly i never light them until it is light though). With my wood perm...

    What are your basic needs at hunting camp - Plumbing? Electricity? Heat/Air? Internet?

    My big thing is always the thing i don't have. Ha! It used to be a barn... check. then it was a bigger tractor... check...then a Ranger... check. Ha! Right now i have electric, propane and wood heat. No running water. And cell service is bad! So, I guess i could say it would be nice...

    Anyone have experience with the Firminator G3?

    I posted a question on the other thread about these things. Will they work with seed blends? Or do you have to buy them separate? e.g. Brassicas and Grains (Autumn Buffet by Deer Creek)? Also - the idea of calibration makes me nuts. I watched some videos. I don't have the time/patience to...

    Firm g3 vs groundbreaker

    How does it work with seed blends. I have always had those things on my list. But to be honest, I can't get my heard around how a 1 acre clover plot would work as an example? an acre clover plot bag of seed is like 5-10 pounds. It seems like 7-8 pounds of seed wouldn't even show up in those...

    Who drives to their stand?

    We are at our place for close to 10 years now. For years I walked... even to the SE Corner that took me an hour and resulted in me being dripping wet when i got there and often unable to sit as long because when sweat turns cold, it is miserable. The last two years I have started driving 3/4...

    Fall clover planting timing

    I would stagger them personally. If you wait on Clover that late you will not actually establish enough growth maturity to attract. Although germination is initially quick, I find that the initial germination is about 50% of what i am looking for. I need initial germination/late germination...
