Sadly it is not, it is still a good time, just have to been willing to put in a little bit more work an a little more walking to get your birds. There are still some pretty good pockets of birds. Just gotta know where to look.

Stress, Ya. Planted my clover/rye plot on July 22 Since then 1 rain event for a 1/10th, one 1/4in, and hot n dry. Missed three other really nice 1inch plus events by mere miles. Hoping I only lost less than 20% of seed due to germ & dieback from stress. That is exactly why I planted slightly...

Well it depends on when u plan on showing up, I shoot strictly 3in #2 Steel Can use 2 3/4in But that is because I hunt the opener out of tradition, from then on all the birds I kill r in December. An I'm not joking when I say u need a little more shell come late season. They seem to add a...

Love their chainsaws, but am living proof of the OPs title. Their weed trimmers r junk. Got a 111 for a little over $400 for trimming brush around new tree plantings. Well that one has a messes up carb, they replaced the carb, that didn't work. Told them to take th POS back I was done with...

Mathews Switchback, first an only bow I've ever purchased. Bought it new my junior yr of high school. Replaced the string twice an the Limbs r getting an upgrade to 70# this yr. Other than that, haven't had a reason to change come up yet.

Top 3 baits for me hands down, an I target these buggers every spring aggressively. Cheapest cat food on the market Paired with either smeared wet cat food in the grass to hold scent. or Bannna - no joke, u can straight up slay skunks with the smell of decomposing bananas. And as far as...

Want to plant some pears to complement my apple trees. But after a bit of research it is looking like the only variety that I can plant is Keifer. Due to living in Zone 4. Wanted to plant 6-8 trees. Semi-shade probably 4 hrs direct sun, with another 3-5 partial sun. I know that most people...

All I know Jason is we need more people to have that mindset. The world would be a better place. And I just want to clarify, when I said the hunt not hunting. I firmly believe there is a big distinction. The hunt is everything, the trails and tribulations. The success the failures. The early...

Agree with everything u fellas above stated. And still disagree in some regards. I cant grow big mule deer, antelope or elk. But I will still be chasing them come fall. Providing a safe haven an habitat in an area devoid of it. Is how I spend the majority of my free time In the offseason. I...

Agree on both fronts, The natural options I currently have on the property. Should on "most" years come close to meeting the needs of the resident deer (7-12) on the property during the winter months. The corn acts as a buffer, to protect against those years where deer numbers increase to over...

Didn't see a specific forum. So I will post it here. Tree stands are going up in the next month. Need opinions on a few things. Anyone know a good online source an brand of tree steps to order. Reasonably priced would be nice. Have to replace the climbing sticks for about 5 stands. So roughly...

Been following this thread, have a few thoughts id like to throw out there. Honestly I believe every location provides a different set of challenges that we as managers all face across the US. Wisconsin is not Michigan, nor are the problems that one faces in South Carolina the same as another...

Wow Slag, that is impressive. I don think I could afford the batteries to run that many.

Awesome job, love trapping. Some clam it doesn't have that big of an impact due to outside migration back onto the property. But I believe if timed properly it can have a huge effect on the local level for short critical periods of time during either nesting or fawn drop. And I will say, after...

Well said Blizzard, agree across the board.

TTT anyone have any more input after another season of use. Looking primarily at the scent crusher bag/ozone device combo. THz

Wish I had that option Catscratch, Dad built the foundations of the place around supporting a high number of wild pheasants. The deer have always just been a bonus for him. Where I am the opposite since taking over the management duties. I am focusing my efforts around deer. But that wont stop...

OT Did anyone read the new article out, about how many more deer than we realize are being spooked with game cams. By being moved around constantly or adjusted in height. I guess up an till now most of my cameras have been located in the same location. But I did put out a couple last yr...

Honestly at this point it doesn't matter, cause you will not see the benefit one way or the other this Yr. You are essentially fertilizing for future crops at this point. Depending on what your putting down, which I am assuming is P & K. They are essentially immobile in the soil, with a max rate...
