    Nice and satisfying surprise yesterday...

    Yesterday I happened by a small plot of fruit trees I planted 10 years ago this coming spring. Several apple, persimmon, pear and plumb. I noticed one of the persimmon trees had dropped the leaves but had 5 ripe persimmons on the branches. First fruit I've seen on any of the trees I planted...

    Appropriate interval for select cuts?

    I bought the family farm 4 years ago. My parents bought it back in the 70's. Almost 19 years ago shortly after my father died we did a heavy thinning on the hardwoods, which are about 45 acres and have the property. There was a lot of 80+ year old Virginia pine, and we wanted it gone before...

    burning back weeds in clover with low concentrate gly?

    I've heard of using low concentrate gly to knock back weeks in white clover, which will bounce back. I have hit old plots pretty hard intending to kill them off and been surprised at how much clover comes back on accident the next year. Right now I have an older plot that I don't want to...

    The QDMA....

    Not trying to stir argument, but I am wondering if anybody has gone back to the QDMA or maybe never left.....remembering that this forum started when they scrapped their forum with little notice and most of the original members here, like me, scrapped their membership. I dang near forgot about...

    Is this buck mature?

    I know can be tough to age in summertime. Every year for the last 4 years I have gotten pics of a buck with undersized, slightly deformed rack, that appears mature. First year appeared to have a wound recovering from. But rack not exactly the same. This pic is from this summer. Does it appear...

    My short trapping season...

    I didn't trap much this year, just a few sets for a couple of weeks on my home place. I did fool around with the camera and do a couple of videos. The first is my basic bedding and the second is catches and remakes. These are fox sets as there are few coyotes on this property, but I do my...

    Transplanted a couple white oak saplings....hope they live!

    Last year my wife and I bought the house where I grew up. We are doing some renovations before moving in. There were a couple of massive willow oaks in the front yard that had to come down. They were much larger than the house and the millions of leaves kept the gutters clogged. The water...

    What to plant....power line right of way?

    My property runs along a busy 2 lane road. The Highway right of way is 50' from the center of the road....which is big considering it's only 2 lanes. Then property fence, which is brushy and over grown. Then there is a power line right of way that runs most the property. It is 20'-30' wide...

    This is maddening.....

    Saturday on the way home from vacation, I stopped at my hunting property to mow and do a few things before making the last hour leg of the drive home. First thing I did was pull the cards on two trail cams, which had over two months worth of pics at that point. So I had the keys to each camera...

    I had some loblollies thinned before spring '15. Fifth row thinning with select cut of remaining rows. The trees were 21 years old, first thinning. For the first few years after a thinning like this, what should I expect as far as growth of the remaining pines? Will they close the canopy...

    Annual plot question....

    Will an annual plot regrow itself its own seed? I have one small (about .2 acre) annual plot of No-Plow that I have planted for the last several years. Basically, about this time of year I go in with a weedeater. In a couple weeks I go back and spray with gly. Then again a couple weeks...

    watefowl gun...

    I have never killed a duck or a goose, but would like to take it up a little on the side. I do not have a suitable gun. I bought some chokes and ammo for my 870 last year, but it is a dedicated turkey gun and that is not going to work. What do you all shoot and what do you stay away from? thanks

    Windows 10 Frustration

    So it seems on Windows 10 all downloads are grouped by month into the same album or whatever. Is there away around this, so that each download can be kept together as 1 album, apart from other downloads, and not broken apart if it covers several months? Thanks for any information.
