Yea, they've got it right. Wish MO would follow.

A track would be nice, but it will be difficult to incorporate into a cooler. I have a cooler here at the house and at my hunting farm. I wouldn't trade them for anything. I have standard refrigeration on them, but have heard good reports on a window A/C with a cool-bot. I also have an...

I'm with Bill, if you're going to fence them anyway, plant Ag beans. I'd only plant forage beans hoping to keep ahead of the deer during the summer grazing period.

Depends, I try and dig up some seed and may move it a little. I'm usually closer to the front than rear. Most of the stuff I plant will do best if I can get it around 1"

Probably so, if you just plant small seeds. I have a Brillion Landscape 64 from a side business I had. I've used it many times for plots with success. It is just a cultipacker, followed by a seed box that drops seed, and a second cultipacker. Although mainly for planting lawns, it does great...

I have been using the "AC Delco AA" batteries from Amazon. I think 100 are just under $30. I've had as good a luck with them as anything.

The "T" handles are primary tool for setting seed depth. You can adjust from shallow to 3.5", supposedly, in 1/8" increments. If you set the handles forward, toward the tractor, is shallower, to the rear is deeper. The drive wheel is the primary means of setting coulter depth, it also has an...

Clethodim is pretty good on grasses, just mix as directed. Going to transition to Basagran for broadleafs, Imox has too long a plant back interval, especially for brassicas, for me. I don't think it makes much different on the brands, as long as the active ingredient is the same. Many times...

Is that common sense? First you have to pack up all of your deer and move them so you can scorch the entire area.

Yea, so they're Johnny on the spot with the CWD problem, that has no cure. But, raccoons are reeking havoc on turkey, quail, and duck populations and there are still closed seasons on them that haven't changed for years in most cases. Even with zero demand for raccoon pelts, seasons here in...

Exactly the case, it seems.

I just see a lack of common sense, across the board.....

Again, I don't mind the sharpshooting on top of a hot spot, if a landowner consents. But eliminating mineral sites if you are a county away from a positive, or removing antler restrictions, for example is just stupid. There is zero proof this is doing anything other than restricting a land...

No, that's just the way it is.

What MO and many other states have done has eliminated all management, EXCEPT for CWD. Whether intentional, or a by-product, that is the sad truth. ...and remember, kill them before they die.
