Bought new, had custom dipped, custom grips, custom strings, tuned ect thinking I would learn compound hunting. I decided immediately crossbows were for me. This bow has maybe 12 arrows shot through it and been stored in a hard case ever since new. Would prefer to sell bare. Its left hand...

I know this has been discussed somewhat before but just had to post my excitement. I dug up a 6" tall tree growing from an acorn when I was a kid at my aunts house, brought it to my parents and we planted it on their farm. 15 years later "fall of 2013" they were building a new house and the...

I just wanted to check in and say to my fellow nebraskans on here I hope you are all ok. River reached 11ft over flood stage this weekend, 6ft over the all time record, and the other river was 6ft over, I'm in between the two. Never thought I'd see this day, I had time to get my trucks to...

My oaks and fruit trees are mostly looking like crap this year. Winter was cold/dry -25 several days, Spring was dry and warmed to 100s quickly, then june/july we got 20" of rain with temps in low 70s a lot of days, now we are back to hot and dry. Weather could be a big factor. Even our corn...

I'm starting to hate tree tubes for so many reasons but the big problems I'm coming up with this year is straightness. 5ft tubes and many of my bur oaks are 6-7ft now. The problem is almost all flopped over at almost 90 degree angles once they came outta tubes and stay that way. I thought the...

Ive got a 6ft tall 3yr old sawtooth that has chlorosis bad and a 12ft kieffer pear that is really really yellow as well both are starting to get brown spots and lose leaves. Last ditch effort I bought some ironite today to try, any suggestions on the amount to use? everything online shows huge...

Soooo I had two massive dying maple trees right beside my house...... tree service wanted way to much to remove them so got the chainsaw out, hooked our 275hp tractor to it using some 30k and 50k tow straps. Did a felling cut and then cut 98% through the back side of the tree, went to pull the...

I'm cutting some silver maples down around my house and want to put one tree back in for shade on the house eventually, not concerned with deer benefits on this one. I tend to have somewhat alkaline ground and I dont want to plant maples back. I have nothing but white oaks on my property so I...

I got a couple "heritage" oaks in my lawn which is a english/bur oak hybrid, the trees I have are grafted from a nursery. I gathered acorns from them this fall which dont look like bur or english acorns really. I am growing them now and have 10" tall seedlings, I cant really tell if they look...

I've tried cooking them in the crockpot with potatoes and mushroom soup, they taste great in chili as well but looking for some new recipes to try this year. Whats everyone like to do with their geese?

Best hand held pruning shears? suggestions?

Anyone have experience with these? Pros/cons? Will it pollinate with my kieffer pear? Cant find a whole lot of details on them other than basics but seems every place local has them for sale this year.

Found this on a single apple tree at my cousins, older tree he has no clue what it is. It's self fertile, japanese beetles didnt seem to attack it and it has a great shape. 15ftx15 roughly with lots of these large dark red apples, they have had zero care and actually taste really good too.

I Know this is a long shot but is there such a thing as a somewhat decent producing self fertile apple tree that is disease resistant? I know self fertile apples dont produce a ton but theres an ancient apple on one of our farm building sites thats totally isolated self fertile and produces a...

Anyone ever had luck doing this? I Have a small creek that i hunt through our farm, mostly puddles most years vs a creek but anyways its filled and I mean filled with poison ivy so I only venture into where I need to be, planting trees in it doesnt seem fun. Walked it today along the field and...

I never liked how this mount looked on the wall in my house, use to have a desk under it but I wanted a change. Decided to attempt building a faux fireplace of sorts and ended up using a 1500watt 1000sq ft electric fireplace in it. Gotta paint the wall green yet but I'm pretty dang proud of...

I've seen twins a lot with whitetails in the past but I recently have hundreds of pics of a single doe with three fawns, I assume triplets. Just wondering how rare that is and what it means, healthy doe I spose.

Since its getting to be fall I'm still in search for a single fruit tree. I am zone 4-5, i get late frosts, I want disease resistant and i'm totally ok with early drop since season opens sept 1 here. I have kieffer pear at the moment, I tried adding a moonglow this spring but it immediately...

Best buck i've seen thus far in my backyard, had him show up several times this year, dont recognize him from years past. Any guesses on what the bigger buck might score? <iframe width="560" height="315" src="" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="560" height="315" src=""...

I am absolutely covered the last few years in japanese beetles on all my trees and the bag worms on my spruce are getting horrible too. I've been trying a couple different insecticides this year with some luck but just wondering if anyones ever tried systemic products and if they would solve my...
