Buck, are you and SD related?

I'm going to Tractor Supply tomorrow to get more triclopyr ester.

I have too many of them. Over a hundred acres of maple-beech forest, which is considered "climax mesic closed-canopy" forest. The ones I'm trying to kill are for the sake of releasing some red oaks in order to get more acorn production. But yes, in the fall, from the lake, it is gorgeous.

That's one of the trees I struggle with. The other is Callery pear. It's unbelievable how difficult it can be to kill a big mature hard maple. I've been working on one for 3 years. Double ringed it with a chainsaw one year, no observable effect. Next year, ringed it again and squirted gly...

Darn. I missed the boat on the Houdini trees. They had 41 last time I looked a few days ago. Went to make an order, and they're sold out.

Wow, you're getting a KILLER deal. Was that sale nationwide, or just local?

I hope they do it. It would cut their economy off from the rest of the world, crash the value of their currency, and make them dependent on US dollars for any kind of international trade.

Never thought about thickness. I use it for cut stump and girdling. I use it sparingly because of its persistence. Generally I only use it on trees I've already tried to kill but for some reason they didn't totally die. I don't kill black locust. Even though it's pokey and inconvenient, I...

I think he paid $20/lb for a USDA Prime rib roast. I checked just now and the website says a USDA Choice rib roast is $15.83/lb. Those are boneless roasts. For perspective, right now Meijer wants $20/lb for USDA Choice bone-in rib roasts.

Strip loin is a completely different cut from ribeye. I'd take a choice ribeye over a prime NY strip steak any day. In fact, ribeye is pretty much the only steak I buy anymore. Even picanha has become overpriced for what it is. I like to buy beef at Meijer. They sell Angus beef, and when...

I always rinse my sprayers for storage. I didn't rinse the diesel out because I was going to spray more throughout the next few days. The rubber swelled up and broke the seal in less than 24 hours. I will use the paintbrush on buckthorn and honeysuckle. For drill and squirt or cut stump I...

I will paint it on next time too. The diesel ruined a rubber o-ring in my sprayer.

.350 Legend recoil is so light I don't notice it.

No hard feelings. If I came across as rude, I apologize.

Gotcha. I have very little experience with hunting chairs, and the stools I use don't have adjustable feet. Those telescoping feet seem like a good idea in theory, but they would have to be very robust to work properly.
