I feel much better now😎

And that would be me. Peter Doocey asked Caroline Leavitt that exact question - what about the retirees retirement accounts and lowering cd rates - she tried to brush it off and switched to “this is for future generations”. Of course, had she said “this is going to hammer the retirees but help...

I know they have moved a few wild coveys here to re-establish. I would guess they did it there. Our state quail initiative has said in the past that they need 4000 contiguous acres for a successful quail population. This area would qualify. Tall timbers will form quail cooperatives in other...

I dont know, they dont burn the whole open area at one time - 100 acres here and there so there is always some that isnt burned for 18 months or more. Even Tall Timbers Plantation, with some of the best habitat anywhere, still has to do predator control sometimes. Maybe if this place could get a...

Dang few. I dont hunt the place - have fished the lakes a few times. But, we drive over once or twice a year in the spring to look at the prairie flowers. Never heard or seen one. They do not list an open season for quail but do list them as a present species. Before g&f bought the property...

Our G&F has a 5000 acre black land prairie native area about 30 miles from my house. They recommend burning in Feb and Aug - every 18 months - to keep the prairie in prime shape

No, it was Texarkana, TX, afternoon and the parking lot was full of soccer mom cars who were in the store buying bats, balls, gloves, and shoes for their kids ball teams

I have tons of cedars. There are quite a few apples that are cedar apple rust resistant. Cedars are the least of my problems

For sure. My drone guy charges min $750 for half day - plus chemical. It would take about 15 min to spray that. I would get some other stuff lined up to spray that day to get my money’s worth

I am having the same trouble with too thick NWSG. I sprayed a field with cleth and it did thin it - about 50% as per the research - but no forbes came back in. I have two other areas that look promising - one I killed everything out for a pollinator planting. It was a two year process and this...

Yes - bigger than most hen beards I see, also

That is amazing!

At 25 yards, I wouldnt be worried about 2 3/4” lead 6’s

I live 75 miles from louisiana - and we are still just over three weeks out on our season opening. Our G&F got gut hooked deep on Dr Chamberlain’s unproven theory of late season openings improving nesting success. We made that move about 14 years ago - and have had some of the lowest poult...

For sure
