    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...

    Hunting crossbow for under $500

    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!

    Missouri All Day Turkey Hunting

    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...

    Missouri All Day Turkey Hunting

    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?

    Stone Branch, build it, they will come.

    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...

    Which Red Dot

    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.

    I bought one of those little pump sprayers after seeing the Land and Legacy guys use them. I agree works pretty slick. I should have someone come look at my maple patch I am dropping for free might be missing out on some $$. Nice work, cool pic of the bear. Can you hunt them there?

    The other thing I worry about is the fuel load around the oaks I am trying to open up. May do a .25 to half acre of girdling to compare. Probably have a 50 x 50 yard area hacked and sprayed. I have about 4 acres of maples on the bottom so plenty to test on!

    The Playground

    Dropping all of the trees makes a mess but gives instant cover. One problem is it also gives instant cover to the resprouts, as you can see in the picture some are 6-8 feet tall already were the deer can't get to them. The second issue is I had quite a few coon pics running up and down the...

    Continued from last page... Maple food plot is still working. 90% of the pictures I had on this camera were bucks. Nothing big yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Had the CRP sprayed for Sericia. They used Grazon and Remedy. We will see, might be pretty thin by fall. If it is like my spot sprays of Pasture guard I may have 20 acres of foxtail. They thought it would get the AO resprouts. The mix I sprayed last round seemed to work. The west side...

    Regrowth from the fire is around knee high. Plenty of good forbs but enough Sericia that I might have to have it sprayed. Too much for my little ATV Sprayer. I did hit the AO regrowth with a stout mix of glyphosate and 2-4D. Looks like we might have actually killed some pretty good sized AO...

    Spray and sow

    I have done it with roundup in the past. Works fine, I would try to sow before a good rain window if possible. They usually change the forecast when my spreader stops spinning!
