Fox checking out the apples

Chiwappa grows great in wet

Chiwappa millet. Doesnt lay down as bad because it has a very thick stem. I have grown some over five ft tall. Specialty seed about the only place that sells it. Long maturity - over 100 days

To be honest, the only reason the fox is still there is because they are such a novelty here. We used to have a lot of grays and a few reds. I havent seen a red in years - and this gray is the first I have seen in five years - so has got a pass - so far. If fox gets serious about the apples...

We used to have a lot of cotton rats, deer mice, rabbits, etc. I know a lot of folks complain about mice getting in their dog proof traps. I use those a lot and have never caught a mouse or noticed missing bait. Rarely see rats when bush hogging. I think we have so many coons, possums, and...

We dont have rodents. Very few rats, mice, rabbits or even volee. Have never screened a tree trunk for protection and never noticed the first rodent bite on a tree trunk - in 20 years of growing trees. We used to have a lot - but they are mostly gone now

Looks like I have a fox to trap. He could have reached the apples on the low limb right of trunk without climbing

I am not sure the new tactacams have gone the same way

Might be another process to add - could disk plant and drag or disk plant and lightly disk😎

I dont thinkYou have to use them cellular. I used a tactacam as standard trailcam after it quit sending

I dont think there is an obvious answer because there are so many variables. I often plant millet in late May - the weeds where I plant are not that tall - I spray gly and broadcast millet the same day. But, if I was planting an area in Aug covered with johnson grass, I would spray, bush hog...

I think some folks have an aversion to disking. I plant more without disking than with disking. I think the weed species would make some difference also. If you have a thick growth of weeds, and you spray them, they often lay over - protecting ground hugging weeds from the second spraying. The...

I agree - I dont believe g&f has a responsibility to manage private land - that is what I have been saying - that is the responsibility of the landowner.

I am saying g&f can manage deer, elk, bear, gators, - mainly big game through regulation. These animals will respond positively or negatively to changing regulations. If g&f bans doe harvest - deer will become so numerous they can be a hazard. They can shorten season and fewer deer will be...
