    For the past 5 years or so, we have been planting around 5 acres of corn as food plots for deer.

We usually see...

    Chestnut seeds

    I collected a bunch of chestnut seeds in early October 2021 and put them in the fridge to overwinter. So far no spouts have taken place. Is it still early, or should I pull them from the fridge and get into some warmth? Any advice is appreciated.

    Small Tree in SE Ohio

    I was walking around a sumac thicket and show a few of these plants, with the red twigs I initially hoped for Red Osier Dogwood, but when I got closer, I doubted that guess. Then though some other kind of sumac, different than the others, as the seed pod was different. Any thoughts?

    What is this vine?

    Have this growing on our property, and it looks like it is possibly starting to choke out the trees it is climbing on. It stays green year round, I think. Any ideas what it is and what to do with it?
