    Park like vs hinged and clear cut

    Hinge a ton, plant food and tons of conifers and when it comes time to sell, drop a stack of mature bucks and doe kill pictures on the table. Won't have an issue.

    Bears and Apples

    We have 2 separate clusters of 3 apple trees near food plots in Wisconsin. The trees are finally starting to produce a lot of apples and of course the bears are going after them breaking branches etc. We got all the apples off the trees a month ago, but what's a better solution? I've heard...

    Large(er) Plots with UTV/small equipment

    I agree with Phil, but my plots have never been worked with a disc. Always been no till. I had issues with lack of rain and found info on this site and QDMA on the best no till process. 1) Spray clean year 1. Plant ALOT of Rye. Once it goes to seed and browns, knock it down with a drag...

    Northern WI Buck Only

    Any morels yet?

    I've never hunted them before. I found a group of about 7 while mowing the lawn Sunday in Scandia. I have 10 acres. Do they tend to grow in small pods? or would it be worth my time to walk it all? Will they grow back this year in the spot i picked them from?

    Wisconsin wants to suspend antlerless licenses

    Not Minnesota, even worse, Michigan.....JK.. I completely disagree with Van Deelen as well. He doesn't think losing 40% of a year class isn't a bad thing???? Hmm......

    Wisconsin wants to suspend antlerless licenses

    Agreed. The entirety of the deer hunting culture between the 2 states is remarkably different. If the MN DNR believed that statement was true, they would likely take action before the herd crashed, instead of the situation we are in now. At least WI is being proactive to avoid ending up like...

    Wisconsin wants to suspend antlerless licenses

    I'm all for this if they believe it's needed. The quote at the end reminded me of everyone supporting MDDI, which includes myself!!!! Associated Press - Pioneer Press Wildlife officials want to suspend antlerless deer hunting in the northern third of Wisconsin to help the herd recover from...
