    A Public Service - Land for Lease

    I just finished paying my club's leases for the coming year. MOLPUS is a timber management copy and they are the lessors of hunting rights for their customers. Lots of availability out there in several states. I doubt this link will get you to the list, but, if your interested, give it a try...

    Wet Trail Cams

    Gaskets and seals on trail cameras are great, except when they aren't. I think we're about 16 inches of precipitation above normal here, and it's really shutdown my picture collection. A lot of my cams are old(er). Opening and closing doors has had the impact of compressing gaskets...

    Puzzle me this

    My late daddy told me knowledge comes from taking thing apart. He continued by saying, wisdom comes from being able to put the thing back together. I come seeking wisdom. I have a couple Bushnell Trophy cams and a Reconyx. None of them have been working to a level I would prefer. Yes. All...

    Fawn Survival Evidence

    I like to think of myself as a scientist. Science doesn't always have the answers ...or the answers you want to hear. Like everything else in life, there's good science and bad science. Sometimes the ability to tell the difference is difficult, and even good science and its conclusions are...

    The Farm Bill

    https://www.outdoorlife.com/5-things-sportsmen-need-to-know-about-2018-farm-bill https://www.farmpolicyfacts.org/farm-policy-history/ I'm sure there's nothing more controversial than federal spending, for it or against it. The Farm Bill is the food and agricultural policy of the United...

    Wind Direction Tendencies

    We talk a lot of scent control and wind. We are well versed in how to play the wind - Upwind and downwind consequences and rewards. We've all hunted the properties we hunt to know the tendencies of wind direction, right? I don't know for sure. I had an acquaintance ask me how to hunt a 12...

    Are you a crazy radical?

    Here we are. In Virginia. Nearly a month to go until our archery season starts. Looks like Hurricane Irma is going to wash my food plots into the Chesapeake Bay. Again. I'm bored and frustrated. So far as deer hunting, food plots, habitat management and the equipment and toys related to the...

    Hello Deer! Are you home?

    I'm totally fascinated by deer movement. Where's home? How far do you go? When do you go and how long do you stay? All these questions have been the subject of much observation, conversation and conjecture. For a number of years, Penn State has been following deer captured and then collared...

    Buying Food Plot Inputs - Fertilizer, Seed, Herbicides, Lime....

    Seems like in many parts of the country where we plant, finding the inputs for a food plot at reasonable prices gets harder with the passing of time. Early in my professional life I ran the local co-op, and while, small lots of product commanded higher margins, we'd break open 50 lb bags of...
