I didn't mention releasing shot deer. I just said you're not allowed to use the technology to go after whatever deer you want. You can only use it to go after the deer you're allotted. Thermals are not permitted for small game at all. Likewise, I said it would be better to not use the...

Is that the density they recommend? Seems awfully dense, especially for the milo. And if you run your rows East/West, the milo might shade everything out. The milpa mix I saw on Green cover's website has okra, which I've seen grow 6 feet tall. It also has sunflowers, which can get very tall...

Try cutting a stem on each and see what color the puith is.

The first one looks like something else. Maybe some other kind of dogwood? The color is not quite right for ROD, and the spacing on the buds looks wrong for the ROD I have seen. It's possible that it's a cultivated variety that I've never seen before. The plant ID app will give better info...

I wouldn't try it on that scale. The density might end up totally choking out the deer. Planting ROD is a heck of a lot easier than removing it. And you still run the risk of a failure. If you plant them individually, you can control the density and location of each shrub, and you can...

This is the kind of thing that confuses me. FFS is certainly getting the blame, but why are they not banning it if it's the problem? That's how all other technologies are regulated in hunting and fishing. Size limits would tend to exacerbate the problem of increased catch efficiency. It...

Are you sure about that? I heard it mentioned, and that's why I asked. I think they even advertise it on some websites. But I couldn't find anything solid that convinced me it was possible.

Yeah, I had a talk with a guy recently about that. I'm not allowed to bring a suppressor from overseas or even parts. I thought dropping the $200 tax would let a lot of new manufacturers import parts and crank out cheaper silencers. Nope. Everything has to manufactured in the US. They...

Awesome! Thanks for the updates. I think I'll grab a 22 rimfire suppressor this Spring. Are they going to mail it to you, or does it have to be mailed to an FFL? My local FFL wants $100 to transfer NFA items.

I wish the local conservancy would would work on bird habitat. They keep buying up land, but they hardly do any improvements. It's loaded with raccoons and squirrels, with enty of deer and coyotes, but almost zero game birds. I see the odd turkey every few years, but I think the coyotes get...

Try adding some clay to your sandy soil.

WNW was a beauty today. Nice moves, easy to get aggressive on it. I sold my last shares, and I'm heading out to walk the dog. Looks like we might be on the back side of it, but I'll check it again in an hour or so.

Thanks. I'll check it out.

I think they have a treatment for water holes to prevent EHD midges.

So far, I haven't seen a shred of credible evidence that FFS is causing problems at all. It seems like FFS is getting the blame purely because it's the new thing. Reminds me of how any change in weather gets blamed on climate change. Arguments would be a lot more convincing if there was...
