It sounds like she is creating 2 monoculture’s. I’d question it too. Maybe she just got out of college and believes the Plums are oppressors and since thy have Plum privilege will dominate the Elderberry. ?? So they must be segregated.

I'd go with crossbow to begin with, My daughter got to where she didnt like her 243 several years back so It's just CB for now, but everytime we see a deer out of bow range I tell her that we'd be loading that in the back of the truck if you had your rifle. Of course now she wants a new 243.

I use vacuum seal bags for storage but the ones I have are too noisy for getting dressed in the field so I use the Stor-All XXL zip locks from Dollar general. They are about 24"x24" and the XL bags for smaller items.

@RGrizz I used to sell it. Cool Planet was bought out by another company that was very similar in that they had a line of organic products.. I don't recall their name, they were going to keep it going but we haven't heard from them yet. So what we had was their bagged product that was 1.5 Cu...

I’ve been using CoolTerra bio char for the last few years in the media and in the backfill when transplanting seedlings. I believe it makes a difference in the crappy soil I’m dealing with in some areas. And it sticks around for 2-3 years. I’ve been mixing it with Calcined clay granular in the...

That’s awesome, I’ve been direct seeding them at my place. I’m excited about these acorns because the trees they came off of are only 10-12’ tall and already producing 100’s of acorns. Keep us posted.

No. Planted in March 2019. I had 3 make it through the First year and into the late spring, they were about 6-8 “ tall. But we went from drought to flood, all the rain came at once and then nothing. Then worms defoliated them and this one made it. So t will be 2 in March.

I don’t have that problem but the wasps like the tubes too

Sawtooth and bur oak are the 2 trees Ive had the best luck with, as far as tolerating the soil I’m dealing with and not getting drought stressed. Post oaks , once they are past 3 years they have been good too. I think part of my deal is I don’t have very many trees out of tubes in my new area...

Oklahoma was hit with the worst ice storm in its history in the last week of Oct. I went without electricity for 9 days in OKC and was scared that my seedlings, 80 miles away we’re going to be demolished. The tree damage to Post oak and Blackjack and ERC was incredible. But when I went to check...

I think a wound from 2 weeks ago would be nasty looking. She looks clean to me. At least on that side.

Best of luck Cody, sounds like you are going to have a blast. Every time your on a hunt or scouting you learn something. Harvesting some fresh venison is always exciting, and necessary for the herd. And sometimes just seeing and watching the different wildlife you’ll encounter and taking it...

Fantastic buck. The brows are crazy.

I had always heard they were a white oak that needed stratification like a red oak. I always just put them in with the shumards I collected from the same spot. All I know is they do very well in the crappy soil I’m attempting to grow trees in and I’m impressed with that.
