What do you mean by this?

Yeah, I just think it's a nothing burger. I almost always get three months at a time, and so does everyone in my family. I pay my copay, but it's a small price to pay compared to running out of something important. The Minnesota thing is pure fraud. And it's not limited to Minnesota. People...

If you don't have a good wrench, get one. If you do have a good wrench, fire several rounds to warm up the barrel, and try with a good wrench, and maybe even a pipe over the wrench handle to give you more leverage.

Is this even a story? They relaxed the rules under Covidd, more medicine went out. Who wasn't squirreling away medicine during the pandemic?

Yeah, I read that raccoons and coyotes will take their share, but I will try to control them a bit, and I'm not worried about them opening up a few. I figure it will help get the sweet melon smell in the air and get the deer to come looking for a sugary treat.

I have pumpkins and winter squash in my cart. Going to try a few varieties, but all of them are late-season crops, and reports are that they can be hit or miss.

Anyone try this? Internet says deer like melons, but I can't find anything about intentionally growing then for deer. It would be an early season play, but would it work?

E. Good balance on a large tract, and I love the blank slate. In 5 years it would be a paradise with minimal effort.

I just bought something similar for that reason. I wanted something easy and relatively quiet to move around during the season. I can put it up against a tree if I want to but it's not necessary. Got it on super sale at Menards...

That looks like a great suppressor. I'll probably get one of those.

You guys are describing one of the reasons I really like a diverse mix. Monoculture or low diversity can be hit or miss. A diverse mixture gives a much higher chance that the deer will find something they like in the mix and probably more likely to eat the other plants in the mix that they may...

Could you plant cover crops? If they are so concerned about profit margin, you might be able to get permission to plant something along the edges of the fields.

What drew you to the NZ clover over some more local varieties?

I recently bought a Vortex Intrepid 1000 because I got it almost half price. It ranges things just fine, which is what I need it to do. I haven't read the manual or dug any deeper into the specifics of it, but I like it so far.

Sounds like a great plan. I'd focus on a perennial clover blend with some chicory, plus a bunch of other stuff for the first year. The spots left by dead annuals should fill in, but you can overseed with more clover and grains the next year. Easy, low-maintenance, nutritious for deer and...
