Burned some extremely dense Indian Grass and Big Bluestem acres this morning...... alot of BTUs!! If we ever run out of coal we should be burning tall varieties of NWSG. I knew it was going to be a hot fire and this morning we had almost no wind, but for those of you who have not burned before...

I assume the "Camp" feature through my laptop is having growing pains/issues. When the new version first popped yesterday on my laptop it was working fine. Now the borders/tabs are there around the main screen, but there are no photos and it has a symbol that it is "thinking" but nothing every...

Foraging on new plant types is a learned behavior passed down from the does. So I would expect it to take at least a generation or 2 before they learn the value of the plant.

One of my brothers uses one for his photography business, I am pretty sure that the ones he has were less than $1,000. He just bought his new one a few months ago and he was commenting how much the technology has improved since he bought the first one just a couple of years ago. I will probably...

I know some of you have had harder Winters than you have had in a long while, but not here. This is borderline insanity, and it is going to throw things completely out of whack plant and tree wise yet again. So much for frost seeding! It could get cold again here, but it isn't going to be...

Most of it was cool season grass that it getting killed out and replanted into NWSG heavy on the forbs and food plot residue. Honey Locust, Osage Orange (Hedge) and Eastern Red Cedars are the scourge of the earth here in terms of volunteer trees growing where ever they can sprout. Without fire...

Lets just say Sericea lespedeza burns HOT. This strip at the Christmas tree farm is full of it. Bet we had flames 10-15' in the air. I need to eradicate it but its isolated as in its not really going to spread from where it is and I always run out of time in fall controlling it.

No doubt, unfortunately I have to burn when I have time and the conditions have a chance to be favorable. I will cut these and stump treat them anyhow.

The next couple of days are about perfect for wind. Tomorrow it will be out of the north for most of the day, today it was the from the south. Most of where I need to burn has stronger fire breaks on one side or the other so I like to back burn starting on the weaker fire breaks and then when I...

I kind of feel like doves hang around longer here than they ever used to. Being so lightly feathered you would think they would need to head south farther. Seemed like in the "olden days" we would get about 2 weeks of actual dove season and then the first couple of nights it dropped into the 50s...

I really would like to wait longer on some of it, but the farther into Spring we go the less time I have available and the fewer days we have that are suitable for burning. Even though my wife is a "Smoky The Bear" fan I know there is a little "Burner Bob" hiding inside! 😂 If I say do you want...

Not promoting Menards line of "MasterCraft" tools, but I think all have the lifetime replacement gurantee. The few things I have that are that brand have done alright for the money they cost and a couple that broke I took back to Menards they exchanged for new at no cost to me other than my time...

Just because you didn't hunt much or the doves weren't in your area?

I agree, but with a survey like this it is about getting the big picture view. I am really excited about the direction some of the more credible information sources (science based) seem to be heading as well as the effort to make this information accessible to people who really want to make some...

Having a hard time envisioning the "wall". So your saying the water flows over this "wall", through the culvert, and down the drainage? I would honestly doubt that a lot of deer are choosing to go through the box culvert as opposed to over the road, but anything is possible. If you could take...
