    Getting out of treestand near food plots in the evening

    I always hear the TV guys mention they have someone drive in and push deer off plots with no major issues.....but if that is not an option, how do you guys get out of stands near plots in the evening without making deer totally aware of you in the stand? We have some stands that are pretty easy...

    Can too many bucks push does off property?

    I know....too many bucks, what's that about, right! Hear me out. Last couple years I have noticed we go from a good population of does and bucks, likely more bucks than does, to fewer of each this time of year. Then they seem to return when it gets colder again. I know from cameras on the...

    Stocking pheasant and quail......any experiences?

    We have been slowly transitioning old pastures to a variety of NWSG, switchgrass, pollinator mixes, and just letting go fallow.....in the end it will be close to 20 ac in a patchwork type pattern.

    Walnuts taste bad....what gives?

    I have a friend that knows nothing about trees but finally figured out that he has a few walnuts on his property and asked me why they taste bad......apparently he picked them up sporadically throughout the fall and sampled them in various degrees of ripeness, all of which taste bad he says...

    What's your biggest mistake/regret with land management?

    I was thinking about this the other day as I'm really kicking myself for not paying close enough attention to tree row spacing as it compared to the tractor wheel paths for a big patch of oaks I planted back a few years ago.....hard to mow between tree rows when the wheelpath is 2+ feet too...

    Gun safe..... opinions

    Always just had my guns in various closets in the house.....getting more pressure from my wife to get them locked up. The ammo is far away so their is very little chance of an unfortunate accident. Anyways, Not a bad idea as they likely should be protectors from theft as well the kids and...

    Has anyone tried this system? http://www.cuddeback.com/cuddelink The system creates a mesh/grid network that links cameras in series for a LONG way...ultimately transferring all pics from all cameras to 1 home camera that would hold all pictures. It would be great to only have to check 1...

    Looking around at my trees this year and its apparent that the cicadas we had last year did a number on many of the small trees......most of them had the telltale splitting bark last summer from the cicadas but over winter is when it hit home. Most trees have at least 12" or so of loss at the...
