    My Scent Control Thread Ozone, Carbon, Smoker, or ???

    My theories and beliefs on odors, odor reduction, and how individual deer may react have evolved quite a bit over my last 53 deer seasons. There are countless variables involved, too many to test and prove or disprove. But there are some undeniable realities regarding the topic. One reality is...

    Tree looks familiar but I can't ID it

    No worries about the location in this case. It's in heavy cover/ sanctuary a couple hundred yards from the house. Lots of overhead cover so it's not getting much sunlight.

    Tree looks familiar but I can't ID it

    Thanks guys. Mulberry was what I init thought but when I looked at some internet pics, the leaves were basically shaped like a football and the fruit looked like elongated blackberries. My young tree had only a few, tiny berries and they were round. Nevertheless, I agree that it is...

    Poison ivy

    Ain't it nice that the level of your sensitivity went in the right direction?! I'm a little bit that way too I think. I don't get it nearly as bad as I used to and my property, and surrounding woods are loaded with major PI vines and patches, plus I am in it all of the time. I will say however...

    Poison ivy

    Definitely! I used to work with a guy who made fun of me when I would get the rash. He'd boast "Haha, I don't get PI". I'd tell him "you mean you haven't gotten it YET", and he's scoff. He hit his 50s and now he's allergic. (I try not to laugh at him!)

    Poison ivy

    There is some PI in his photo. And there is another vine in the pic which you referred. That other one might be bittersweet?

    Poison ivy

    Just be careful of which herbicide you are using because if it's soil active, it just might kill any trees within several feet of where you treated the ivy.

    Seed pods on Eastern Redbud

    Several years ago, I planted redbuds around my property and I noticed that one tree has little seed pods for the 1st time this year. Educate me on the pods. Will they drop as a pod? Are they eaten by deer? Can I plant them? If so, do they need statified? Anything else? Thanks.

    Aliens and UFO's

    Who has been following the show "The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch"? The stuff they are investigating and encountering on that show is very intriguing. I was quite skeptical when I started watching it. I thought it was a bit phoney, but the more I watched, the more it sucked me in. I have a hard...

    Spicebush and Turkeys

    I can't speak for turkeys but my deer definitely eat the leaves. Seems like they prefer the leaves as they are semi-yellow, just before leaf drop. I also see some light browsing on the twigs.

    Rough Made log splitters

    Update... My neighbor got new O rings and put them in their PROPER location. Splitter no longer leaks. He said he looked on the internet for discussions on it and it seems other people are complaining about leaky valves on their Rough Made. They too probably got splitters with the rings...
