    Thanks for the review. Always enjoy reading reviews by real people in the real world.

    This is definitely going to be an interesting year for acorns

    They started dropping her in the last couple of days. Time to relocate a couple of cameras. Unfortunately hunting my oaks is not as easy as hunting my plots. Need to brainstorm and come up with a couple of stand locations for high acorn years.

    Weather patterns associated with jet stream/rain

    The professional weather folks made the comment earlier in the Summer that is will be one of the most humid Summers on record. For the reasons surrounding the gulf moisture you indicated, the moisture is being allowed to push farther north. Also the reason for the torrential rains in the areas...

    Kitty Cat WalkAbout

    It is crazy how some feral/barn cats have the overwhelming ability to survive (yes not good for the bird populations). My mom has a barn cat that has probably lived for at least 10 years now. Regularly travels .5 mile between my brother's house and hers. Throws a litter of kittens continuously...

    Chestnut Crab

    Trailman has pretty much lost all its apples at this point. Chestnut has probably dropped 75%. Hewes is still absolutely loaded and only a few drops. Kerr is still holding most of them. Lil'Benny while not a true crabapple by definition is ripe and holding well, maybe a 2 1/2" apple. Lil' Benny...

    Had a bad shot placement.

    Glad you were able to make the recovery. That is odd. You must have been just behind the heart. Everyone has their own preference, and I am not knocking anyone for their choice on broadheads, but there is a reason I like the 2 blade Rage ever since it came out. Massive wound channel. Most deer I...

    Mock scrape pine style...

    The young bucks who have been my Summer residents are already making daily visits. Not sure what the one was trying to accomplish standing on his back legs,

    Opening day gun?

    I am currently a deer snob, been one since around 2012. If I cant put an arrow through it then I am not shooting it. At least until my old body says no more. Then I will break out the .270 bolt action Savage in the weather warrior model and resume to shooting. Been my favorite big game caliber...

    Lack of rain, what do you do

    Rye sed will lay in the soil quite some time and still have good germination if a critter doesn't consume it. Can't speak to exact germination rate. That would be information that would have to come from a scientific experiment to honestly know other than a casual observation. Doubt that...

    Seed Test Date Explanation?

    The test date is when the germination rate for seed was done. While most seed viability does last longer than a year, I do prefer to have seed that was tested in the last year. You can always do a wet rag (paper towel test) on some seeds from the bag, just to make sure you are at least not...

    Why inst there a focus on EHD?

    I will stick with the comment that insurance companies do lobby against anything that they feel is going to hurt their bottom line. Are they spending millions of dollars on it, no. Are they behind the scenes voicing their opposition to it, yes. They most certainly have lobbyists. Research on CWD...

    Time to lighten up - Laughter is good medicine Part II

    Oddly enough with all the moisture we have had this Summer I do not believe I have seen a single mosquito here. We have tons of Swallows (the bird) and lots of dragonflies, maybe they are keeping things in check. When I was up at our farm in Nebraska last week they have had far less rain this...
