My part of Missouri, it likes to run on a drought / flood rotation. Good luck with spring.

They are still liking the burn. Hope they stick around another week or two.

Autumn olive is starting to wake up. I like to make sure it is warm enough, so we got out the drip torch last weekend. 45% humidity with a 5-10 mph E wind. Pretty straight forward burn. Got about 55 acres. Got the kid on the torch for some of the easy stretches. Gave the old man...

Well I got the letter from the Missouri Department of Conservation that they found a positive CWD deer in our section. They are requesting some concentrated killing and testing. Not sure if I am going to turn them loose. I might shoot a few to have tested. We did not have any tested during...

https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/barnett-xp-390-crossbow-package-with-crank-cocking-device I got my kid one of these for Christmas. A lot of power. Still think it's cheating but I might have to kill a deer with it!

Yep, a cold wet spring kills a lot more poults than predators. I still do some trapping and it might make a minor difference, especially with the newer spring season. Every egg saved is upping the chances. If we could get spring weather like last spring for a few in a row I think we could be...

Looks like we get to hunt until dark next year instead of 1pm? Had a pretty good hatch this year but I would have waited for a couple more in a row before making this change. The changes to fall hunting won't matter much with the limited harvest. Thoughts?

Are you treating all that or letting resprout? It would be fun to burn when it dries out.

Sorry to hear this. Always been a good contributor to the forum, he will be missed.

Finished out the rifle season with no antlers. I did go up for a 3 day weekend and got some traps set. Threw in 6 cat sets, 3 beaver/otter sets, and a couple of coon traps. First morning I had this young bobcat. Basically a really loud dirt hole with some pheasant feathers dangling above it...

I have used a vortex venom on a Glock 10 mm and a Benelli 12 ga. I like it. Went with the Venom since you can access the battery without removing the sight, I think on the viper the battery goes in the bottom?

Finally got the wagon done with a whole week to spare before rifle season. Brother in Law hasn't cut the corn on the bottom yet so I just unhooked it up in the CRP where I have a little range. Once the corn comes out I'll drag it down the hill for late season. Probably not done with the...

Not great hence the broomsedge and crp! We had it sprayed for sericia this year so I may be hurting for Forbes next year. I have some 6 foot tall Indian grass and some big blue that I think will take off without the SL. The part that didn’t burn this spring will get torched next spring.

Went up for youth season this past weekend. Cold and raining so we stuck to box blinds. The big dead tree behind the box on the new addition finally came down. Ripped out one of the support cables but other than that no damage. Glad I wasn't in it at the time. The brother in law will...

Those red dots make all the difference on a pistol. I put one on the 10 mm glock I bought, I would say I could kill a deer at 75 y pretty easy. I just haven't attempted it yet! Place is looking good.
