I ordered 6 pear and 10 persimmon from them. I'm going to test the limits of the hardiness zones they advertise. I hope the trees live and the deer like pears. Time to buy some caging material.

Thanks for the info. I think I'll go that route. I'm the same height, and I get a bit fidgety after sitting for a couple hours.

Great blind. Nice work. Why do you guys build them so tall? So you can stand up and stretch your legs? Is it necessary for bow hunting? I'm planning to build a few blinds over the next couple years, and I would prefer to do it right the first time so I don't have to redo them later. I'm...

Good you are getting an early start. I would continue all Summer. In Ontario all the turtles come out of the woodwork around May and June. I always help them across the road when I find them on the highway. By late July we don't really see them anymore on land, but holy cow are they roaming...

That sounds like a great option. Seems like the price is right, too. I will probably go for that if I can.

Oh yes. There are varieties spanning late June to mid October. Pawpaws are also said to be extremely fragrant. Perfect for attracting deer and establishing a travel pattern, and offering early-season hunts on pre-rut bucks. Rebecca's gold is reported to ripen in early to mid October in Ohio...

Almost entirely caused by China and Covid, which is also China. China welched on the Phase One trade agreement to the tune of 100 billion dollars. This is why I'm getting annoyed with Trump. He should put the screws to China and make a more mutually beneficial agreement with Mexico and...

Depends on your trust. If you're a few people in the same household or the same town, probably easy peasy. Our trust has a lot of people scattered all over, so it's quite a hassle to get everyone fingerprinted in any sort of timely manner, and some of the old curmudgeons don't want to be...

Yes. It used to be a piece of cake. Now everyone on the trust has to get fingerprinted. Not sure if I will bother doing it again.

Make sure to adjust if the seed is coated. The clover and chicory I buy is usually coated, which means less actual seed per measure.

I can't do anything outside. We're getting a brutal storm in from the North Sea that is just pounding the whole area. Seems like the wet air hits the mountains and shoots up into cold air above. It's been hours of rain, sleet, snow, and howling winds.

Holy cow. You have an actual tavern. That's pretty rad.

They drop August through October. Pawpaws can establish a travel pattern and pull deer in for early bow season. After the pawpaws peak, the pears should take over, followed by apples, and finally the locust pods. The patch I'm working on is only about 70 yards from the food plot and orchard...

I use a kitchen scale. I get the area of the plot, figure out what I want in it, and then figure how much I need of each type of seed. I weigh out each component and dump it in a bag and label the bag. I give it a good shake to mix it up before spreading and dump it in an Earhway chest...

Also means the company thinks the stock is way undervalued. Good time to buy for a long hold.
