    Raccoon trapping

    They make excellent fertilizer. I like to bury them at the base of a tree or shrub. I have a cherry tree that got a groundhog and a raccoon last summer, and it was absolutely loaded with fruit this Spring.

    Second bloom on pear tree?

    Cool. Is it just one branch or the whole tree? Looks like some sort of genetic mutation. I would let it go and see how it turns out. Might be something interesting or useful.

    Interesting Iowa DNR Story

    We're at the point where a rotating drone swarm and a satellite constellation can cover most of the inhabited area of the country, and AI can detect and report just about any anomaly you want identified. It doesn't even have to be manned, it can just run constantly and report to enforcement...

    Aeration or Muckbuster?

    I've heard of people use dye to block light from the plants, especially deep plants that might use up the oxygen in the colder layers at the bottom where you want trout to live.

    Heading to Europe on vacation for 17 days

    I've been in Sardinia for a week eating cured meats and drinking Italian wine. Even the stuff they consider average is dynamite compared to what I'm used to. Enjoy your lunch, it should be great.

    A few habitat pics I thought you might enjoy

    I would definitely try it for a few years. You'll probably have to adapt to the change in deer behavior, but the challenge is what makes hunting rewarding. If it ends up being a problem, have him harvest before gun season for a few years. If it all turns out to be a big mistake, end the...

    Heading to Europe on vacation for 17 days

    He shouldn't have any problems. Tens of thousands of teenagers travel in Europe every year. It's rare to encounter any real issue unless you provoke it.

    Heading to Europe on vacation for 17 days

    If a boy, probably safe, but shouldn't go out alone in big cities or near migrants. If it's a girl, probably not safe alone anywhere there are migrants. Sexual assault is through the roof in much of Europe due to the migrant crisis.

    Heading to Europe on vacation for 17 days

    If you have some extra time, Wurtzburg is about 45 minutes from Rothenburg and is also pretty neat.

    Conspiracy theorys, where do you stand?

    Heading to Europe on vacation for 17 days

    Do you already have an itinerary? My favorite place in Germany was Rothenburg aub der Tauber. Favorite place in Italy was Siena. I'm taking the wife to Sardinia for a week and a half on the 24th. Europe has some real gems. Be aware that the capitals and big cities can be full of...

    Stock Market is the bottom in?

    China has held the value of their currency down for decades in order to flood the world with cheap exports. If they stop their currency manipulation, you might have a reasonable argument. However, if their unfair policies are part of the reason manufacturing jobs left America for China, our...

    Stock Market is the bottom in?

    Glad I sold all my PLTR yesterday. The price started to get weird after the closing bell, so I bailed. Have been shorting it all morning, but now I'm buying my position back slowly. Unbelievable how irrational people can be. I will probably only buy back half my position and use the rest to...
