What do you want it for? I won't buy one without thermal, and that is already over 5k. If you just want one for fun, you can easily stay under 1k. It won't be much help over available technology.

I'd say you're lucky. Most of us are dealing with record cold.

My only argument is that he's lying about nutrition if he's saying nutrition doesn't matter. I've never actually seen him say that, though.

But they're eating it! I think this Spring I'll get out and add some alsike clover to it.

I have no problem believing soil quality is a main driver of deer health and size. If a deer eats a certain amount of food in any given year, the deer eating more nutritious food will be bigger and healthier. I mentioned that video of the bean field where deer were showing a clear preference...

Nice. I'm about to prune some mulberry trees, so if I can propagate the cuttings that will be awesome.

The deer I watched on camera, I checked almost every day for two months. There were 4 mature bucks in the photos, and all of them visited after dark. The biggest one was seen only once, around midnight. I have no problem believing what Baker said about pressure. These deer were hunted by a...

I got a kick out of it. The scope taped to his head made me chuckle.

I find single point slings uncomfortable after an hour or so. I have one for shooting, but for hunting I don't like it.

Weird. I'd guess he's fibbing.

You have success rooting mulberry cuttings? For dogwoods, any time between now and May I've had success. I prefer to wait until March, and then I plant the best ones in a pot, and the rest go in a bucket of water. The orange twigs are probably a type of willow. Check the buds.
