    Lumber Prices

    Almost 6 bucks for a 2x4 here in Nj. I thought it was expensive 2 years ago building my house. The lumber bill was 90,000. I would hate to see what it would be today

    Elevated blind finished!

    Thats a nice blind. I just picked up 2 of the Banks Stump 4 Vision series blinds. I got one up 12 ft. I still need to anchor it and build some better steps but its good enough for this season. I have to say its solid, we had 60 to 70 mph winds the other night and its still standing. I cant say...

    Alfalfa "food plot"

    I planted alfalfa in a long strip probably 200 yards long and 20 yards wide. The deer browse it pretty much all year long. They keep it browsed down to the point I dont have to worry about getting it baled. This is in Calhoun Cty west central Illinois

    Boom sprayers

    Cropcare atv sprayer. I have used one for several years now. Solid sprayer. No issues yet. It costs a little more but its not too bad after you buy a cheap one and then have to buy another
