Great info Jon - I really appreciate it! The original bidder came in again at 1500 so I went with it, considering the time/labor/safety aspects. I hope he will be done before October (he has to be) or he can start again in December. I killed that 1st buck right after my neighbors finished...

I have installed a few 20 gallon tubs on my 15 acres, which are fun to watch via trail cam and actually somewhat effective. I thought I would share this podcast, as it was informative to me and could help someone else learn. Thanks and Happy belated 4th to Y'all! https://bit.ly/WaterHoles

FYI - I still want a Land Tour ;)

Way to go man! Id say that's a pretty successful season. Got any spring habitat plans?

Thank you for the info Gents. My pictures from the stand don’t show the log-able trees very well. The beginning of this thread shows more detail. It isn’t a big job and it’s wet. One guy bid like $900. One guy said he’d take them for free. At least that would get some the heavy lifting done...

I will try to get some pics for you all to see soon!

That sounds great Pine! I'd love to review that list of your choices for wet tolerant species. The willow should out-compete, but what about the others competing with what is established? Are you doing any other prep? There is some briar in the dryer areas but not elsewhere. It's real...

Great idea Deadeye!

Update - Woods is still not very thick. Its been almost 3 years now. Looks good in Summer, but can see too far. It is also very wet....has anyone planted any fast growing species like willow or red osier or cattails (eh) in a mostly wet area? Any other options? I have a bunch or medium...

This is super cool! Great job. I may take a stab at this.....

Thanks Drew, appreciate the feedback! I have some trees arriving here real soon from Morse. Excited to get them in the ground and see how they do. Thanks for the feedback NH. I'd love to check out your thread & learn more. Appreciate you listening. Thanks for checking it out Buckdeer...
