    Mark Drury buck

    The guys on the Gamekeeper podcast have been talking about Mark Drury killing a net 200” typical in the past week or two. I can’t find photos on the net. Anyone seen pics on social media by chance?

    Any tee-jet nozzle gurus? Chart question

    I’ve never had a hard time figuring up rates, speeds, etc for my boomless nozzle. I can easily reproduce vendor figures. I have some issues with the tee-jet nozzle catalog, though, that I’m referencing for a tow-behind boom sprayer I’ll be using for my yard. First, is there significance to the...

    Elevator brackets

    Of Amazon’s offerings, is one better than the others? Or should I just get the cheapest?

    Shipping container and lean-to ideas

    We are looking to get a shipping container to store our little Kubota at the farm. We currently have no storage whatsoever. The main question we’ve got is how to attach a lean-to to the long side of the container. This area would be for covered implement storage. Should this be a freestanding...

    Appraisals for landlocked timberland

    How do appraisals work for land that has no legal access? Can they even be provided? I ask because I have a neighbor with land that has no legal access. They have never set foot on it in the last 7 years, to the best of my knowledge. My land has county road frontage, so, if I owned this...

    Elevated box stands

    I have a spot on a well-used food plot that I intend to build a blind to get a closer shot for a young hunter. We try to baby this spot, as we can reliably see our best bucks in daylight. Up until now, we’ve observed this plot from a ladder stand about 100-150 yards away. There is an old cattle...

    Summertime plans for new plot

    We had a new opening created in the middle of a young pine plantation in SW MS, about 1.5ac in size. We planted millet immediately after the dozer work and then TnM rye and clover in the fall that did pretty poorly, mostly due to heavy browsing but likely due to poor soil quality, too. Should...

    Electric fence take down

    For those of you that use an electric fence, can you describe your take down strategy? Do you roll the wire back up on a spool? This is proving to be a ton of work for the hottest part of the year, here in the Deep South.

    Hunterra maps and higher resolution topos

    First, is there a source online for maps that have higher resolution topographic data than the standard USGS topos? I think the USGS topos for my area have contours every 10 feet — where can I get them for, say, 5 or less? I have it in my head that Hunterra maps provide this, if you purchase...

    Hornbeam

    Been putting this off for awhile, because I won't have a heck of a lot to share. I'm 2.5 hours away from this land and life isn't giving me much time for hobbies these days. I am getting ready to have some dozer work done, so in that context, I figured it would be worth my time to see if anybody...

    IH 800 planter

    I’m wanting to find a 2 row planter to use for no-tilling sunflower and soybeans. I have found a well used 2 row IH 800 planter that’s priced right. I’ve never used a planter but have a crude idea of the parts and how they work from researching online. If I go look at this one, what parts...

    Buying land that’s not for sale, from a neighbor

    I have 2 neighboring tracts owned by individuals that inherited the land after the death of a parent. I would jump at the chance to buy either parcels. I’m relatively new to this neighborhood, having owned my land for 6-7 yrs. In one case, no one ever even sets foot on the property. I have...

    No till planters: who has used them?

    We have around 5 acres that we’d like to do more with in the way of summer plots, for deer and, maybe, doves. About 2-3 of these are used as fall plots also. We’ve mostly moved to a throw and mow program, but have a 34 HP 4wd tractor. I have it in my head that a no till 2-row planter would...

    John Deere FB-A drill

    Does anyone know about these? What’s a fair price for one 8 feet in size? Are parts available? Easy to repair? Any success at all using without tillage? I seem to remember our Okie cattleman using something like this.
