I've been known to chase some ass in my time, but never on another man's territory if you know what I mean.

Somewhere in West Tennessee there is an old xx75 aluminum arrow and a Thunderhead 125 stuck square in a tree limb about 12 feet off the ground. Only saw the antlers, never saw the limb but if you do this long enough it happens to everyone. Good story.

Bolivar got good rain yesterday. Seems like it always tracks North of I-44. We are actually getting rain right now. Not sure how much it'll be though.

Not enough rain in Springfield to cover the deck. Nice thought though! We're not as dry as you but pretty dusty still.

God opened up the heavens and cast complete wisdom upon John Browning the day he created the 1911. It just fits like none other, then and now.

This is my thinking exactly. Sounds like you're a hard one to slow down but I made some mistakes with chainsaw and dozer that I can never get back.

Thanks Charleston, It's always nice to wake up to a woody first thing in the morning.:D

Interesting observation. I wonder why?

I would think a massive amount of tree debris and hinge cut would encourage deer to bed close to their food source. I'd be more apt to plant the dreaded fescue or something entirely undesirable.

I've also had good luck with Tordon but I would girdle the trees first.

Yes, the "hands off" plot. Plant 1/4 acre and watch it spread to 3,4 acres in no time.

All good points above. Just to reiterate and just my .02 but I would not supplement with corn, hay or pellets at all. Your land has a carrying capacity, if you artificially alter that then stop feeding what then ? If you want to help feed them in the winter go cut some small to medium size trees...

Better known as "the cone of shame".

Some decisions are easy. Some are not. Both come frequently. You did good by him and I know he loves you for it. I hope he gives you more years than you expect.
