Really like hearing stories like yours where some one puts conservation ahead of their harvest goals. I passed a nice Tom on my first sit but for different reasons. He was just following hens and wasn’t really responding to my calls so didn’t feel like I’d earned him.

Nice pile of slabs. I’ve been chasing them but we seem to be about a week behind normal. Cold snap has screwed up the fishing.

The value of Rye
Rye will provide something for deer when they most need it. A lot of focus is put on plots to hunt over but what is carrying your deer when conditions are worst? We had just got a fresh snow but you can see how much the older snow has been torn up as the deer pawed through...
Interesting, I’d never heard of the Che tree. Found a place online selling them but sounds like it won’t fruit up here. I did notice they said deer resistance was poor!

I only have the native Reds around me, no experience with the whites. Interesting that deer don’t touch the whites though.

Having lived through a few Houston hurricanes I’m still amazed by the amount of people who don’t have a backup generator. Looking at the stock price of Generac more than a few people are betting that’s going to change.

A little off topic but I’ve noticed that Mulberries never get any love in the habitat world. Unless, you’re parking nearby they’re a great tree that supports a ton of wildlife and in my area are in the top 5% of preferred browse for deer.

If you’d said goose with a buzzbait that would’ve made perfect sense to me but a turkey? Lord how in the world did that happen?

I’m not a frequent upgrader. Running a 5 year old Matthews No Cam and not in a hurry to do anything different. It’s a real easy shooting bow and I couldn’t care less about speed.

Literally they will thank you. We have a local “habitat guru” who was instrumental in helping spread Autumn Olive because he believes there’s no better bedding cover. Complains now that it’s difficult to obtain for plantings.
