I currently have the majority of my trees with landscape fabric around them but am thinking of getting a load of chips from an arborsist. I have plenty of uses for chips but anything I should be concerned about with putting those around my fruit trees or any of the other trees I have nearby? My...

Bluehill is nice because they let you schedule the ship date. Only had one experience so far but that worked well for planning

Sorry for your loss. Keeping you and your family in our prayers.

I did the same thing. I told myself it'll save me time next spring and felt better for a bit.

I am not far from there and I have not found a dead buck that died from cwd. Although I'm not sure if id be able to tell. Have seen a couple of bucks this year though that didn't look right. Had one in my backyard that looked rough and had little worry about being around people.

The area where my property has been 20-30% prevalence for cwd for the past few years. Ive only had the property for 3 years but have heard at one time it was overrun with deer. This past season I averaged 1 deer per sit. Its in south central wisconsin so hard to attribute it to cwd with all of...

Good to know. I planted a couple this spring is some crumbs soil and they were slow to wake up but looked great by the fall. We'll see how they winter but very happy so far.

It was slow where i was at in south central wisconsin. Not much shooting. Saw a couple deer sitting most of the weekend

We did something similar at my property last year and the toothed bucket worked great.

I think it'll be worth a try for me this spring. Its opening day of gun season here and I'm looking forward to some offseason work

Good to know. I forget what book I was reading but it was high on birdsfoot trefoil. Anyone have any experience with that on lower ground?

I had a similar reaction when getting positives. I am more worried about giving it to others. That all said I have sticks made and I don't for one minute think that I haven't had exposure that way.
