    Can't have nothing

    Story of my life - coons, possums, and squirrels. To add to it this year, Pretty sure I damaged all my peach trees spraying copper. Hope they come out of it. Fruit trees are the devil

    What Is Your Best Smelling Wild Plant

    Yes, I know chinaberry is an invasive - but it smells to me like lilacs - but out in the woods. Their smell almost makes me hesitate to cut them

    If you could change one regulation in your state

    I agree - not many folks come to ar to deer hunt. Our “early” season opened sep 6 or 7 for three days and closed and then opens back up around first of Oct through end of Feb. was just wondering if most of your bucks were still in velvet when 80% of our are not, at that time.

    If you could change one regulation in your state

    When does your season open. We had our first early season last year - three day, buck only, started 7 Sep. Something around 1200 bucks were killed - 20% in velvet. From my pics, just seven days before and it would have been 50% in velvet. When does your season open to be a true velvet hunt?

    G&H Farms

    I had a bee hive the bees had starved to death in last summer that the wax moths had afterwards moved into and destroyed all the comb and made a miserable mess out of the hive. The week before our last big rainy period, a few bees had been checking it out and began cleaning it up. During the...

    Wild Turkey population is tanking across most of its range

    Being from AR, where we kill 9000 turkeys a year, looking at KY where they kill 30,000 or more, makes KY look like the holy grail of turkey hunting. Are turkeys just distributed unevenly across the state - with pockets that have turkeys and pockets that dont - or are their whole regions with a...

    Wild Turkey population is tanking across most of its range

    I agree with you. We were the first state to get gut hooked on the late season opener - 15 years ago. It is green as a jungle down here. Most trees are fully leafed out so hard to hear one very far. Did I say MOSQUITOES. Supposed to be 70 degrees at 6 am tomorrow morn. Havent looked a monday yet

    Wild Turkey population is tanking across most of its range

    I have heard the same thing and a lot of the different states indicate a little increase in poult numbers. A month ago, when the hens were still bunched up - I heard several gobblers around my place. Now that the hens are setting, it is like they gobblers roaming around, looking for a receptive...

    China trade war hunting / food plot buys?

    I am not sure it matters if it runs down. On that style lure, I have seen many fish break water surface and come down from the top on that bait. Especially tuna, and more than a few hooters and mahi.
