Don't mind planting hackberry here in the dakotas. Just be aware. It is highly sensitive to chemical drift. Alot of mature trees have been lost here recently due to dicamba drift.

Bueller? Bueller?

About 5 years ago I threw down a mix of various clovers, birds foot, chicory, and cicer milkvetch. Let it go back wild after planting to see what would stick. The cicer was nonexistent the first 2 years. But has exploded the past 3. It's starting to creep out into places I don't want it. And...

Injury of some sort is my guess.

No u can not. The first dove meal of the season is easly in my top 3 wild game choices. I much preferred the Sept 1 opener for Dove, Goose, Deer. Made for a hell of a weekend. But don't plan on sitting out the early Aug management season. Gotta play by the rules. Ha. Edit to add. Also do...

Almost hunting season fellas. Hope everyone is farther ahead on their prep than I am. Spent the day getting most of my sets in. Usually like to have everything done by July but such is life. While prepping the last stand for the day. I got to thinking, F this one is gunna be risky. Have to cut...

Happy fourth everyone. Try to keep all your fingers intact. Gunna need em to run your chainsaws.

Hey oak. Hope all is well. Quick note on hybrids. Tried a heritage oak. Which is a cross between an English and bur. Which I was hoping the increased alkalinity tolerance would help me with my soils. Not so much luck. Any recs? Thinking I'm stuck with just straight burs at the moment. But dang...

Brian's Winter. The follow up to The Hatchet. Still read it every year during hunting season at some point.

It was one of those prepackaged smoked butcher bones. Fairly large pig femur I'm pretty sure. Had no issues in the past. Pretty sure Piper had eaten dang near a truck bed full of deer and elk legs bones to this point. Could just tell she was struggling to go to the bathroom. Noticed it the day...

Ate a bone and it got logged in her intestines. Her normal vet was out of town so had to take to a new place on a Saturday. Not sure if they let her sit till Monday before they tried anything. Think her normal vet would of done anything possible to save her. Pissed.

Not why I want to be updating. Lost my best friend and first hunting dog Piper To young.

Yeah slightly, Had a good rain window. Ended up with 3 in. And was scheduled to be hiking for the next 2 weeks so it was a now or never type thing in the moment. Had been 80s everyday, but the Temps plummeted so I'm guessing that's what caused my germination issues.

Wondering what you would due in this situation. Tilled my rye and clover under this spring. Planted sorghum. Went to spray it today and it looks like a bust. Not sure if the seed was bad or what. The clovers is kinda coming back but the plot is full of thistle. Was thinking maybe spray it...

Dad's back from Arizona. Done being a snowbird for the time being...Talked him into setting a trap line to reduce nest predators, and helping plant trees tomorrow. Got 24 sets out, and 10 trees going in. Few bush lattes and some elk backstrap. Gunna be a good evening.
