Just a couple days ago we got 4" of snow and it should be melted for good by now. Had a chance to go to the hunting property. Over the weekend I broadcast some red clover on the snow hoping it melts and washes in. We will see how it does. Originally planted ladino clover so I hope to see...

Drip systems on an acre won't work unless you want pipe every 4ft with drippers on 4ft centers... You also won't want traditional lawn sprinklers because they will struggle to pop up and lots of damage possible to the heads when you disk the field. My opinion is the only viable option is...

I would recommend a nelson big gun 75 series or similiar. Run the waterline below or above grade to the gun. It could be flexible epdm style hose that feeds the gun on a tripod style stand that you can move around the plot. You need good pressure and flow. If you have a pond or a big...

Felco #2 is the standard that a lot of the nurseries use. I prefer the #4 felco though. Slightly smaller in the handle. Ars is also used with shears and some long reach pruners

That's great! I hope the like ladino clover! I have about a half acre in ladino for the deer. Will put some piles along the edge of it!

Skids like these. I would plan to put a pile of pine needles on them like leaves about 12" thick. Every year more needles would fall into them. Sent from my SM-A500W using Tapatalk

I'm trying to improve the small game population. I've been told to make brush piles by the old timers. The reason I haven't. Is most of the brush is pretty rotten and making something coyote or fox proof would require tons of brush that would take a long time to find. I then did some...

My cousin got a buck yesterday. It was shot just prior by a compound bow. We don't know who. That arrow and expanding broadleaf was stuck in the flesh at the spine above the stomach area. It didn't paralyze the deer. His bolt hit the spine as well above the chest and that paralyzed the deer...

I like a light rain or a light rain over night. It's peaceful when your in blind and it makes the woods and leaves silent to walk on. I've seen deer on warm days cold days. The 1st snow day. Right after a full moon. In the rain and in the sun. The more I hunt the more everything just...

Thanks for the feedback. Our rut is just starting here in ontario I would say. Some say if you shoot the doe. The fawn will die in the winter which reduces numbers. Others talk about tag soup. I agree about it being cheaper to buy beef. I'm just looking for opinions or if anyone has any...

In northern areas with winter... Do you shoot the fawn and let the doe go? Do you shoot the doe and let the fawn grow up? Will it find new deer to hang out with during the winter? Shoot both if you can? I'm not interested in talking about shooting big bucks. I want to hear about this doe...

I'd plant some grass or leave it bare and just keep it as access and maintain it. Maybe line the edge of it with some trees if it gets any sunlight. Id only do a food plot if the neighbors don't hunt the property beside the clearing.

As I wrote this. I have a trail camera monitering a dozen or so mature red oaks to find the answer but I don't want to wait until the spring. I will leave the camera out though until the spring to moniter though. Prior to this forum it never occurred to me what type of draw acorns can have...

What is everyone using for mineral licks? I have done the bags of dical, salt, and trace minerals. Recently I've switched over to http://www.sweetlix.com/products/C16/wildlife.aspx The poured block #11204. Its clean and easy. I dug in the blocks after rifle season so approx Nov 10th and the...

Make rules from the get go. Set times and dates. Annual work dates like the 1st Saturday of August and September. This way they can mark the calandar a year in advance. Start time 9am. Don't put a start time and guys will not show up or arrive in the afternoon. If they are unable to make...

What's the price difference? Some guys I hunt with took a bag of livestock feed wheat and dumped it in a 3' circle. The stuff was growin! I'm not sure what germination % differences there are

A tip is to put your hand or arm in front of the seeder and feel the seed as you crank Once you start to feel the seed that is open enough for clover. After doing a pass or two adjust as you need a little more open. For rye I had mine set about 3 or 1/2 open. Mix in any turnips or other...

I should have said I'm in Ontario so $2.50 isn't bad considering the exchange rate. Glad to hear they are basically the same product.

Any difference in these seeds? From one dealer who sells Tillage Radish the price is $4.95 lb for a 50lb bag. This dealer has extensive offerings for all cover crop products but tends to be 30% more expensive. From another dealer who sells Nitro Radish the price is $2.50 lb for 50lb bag. This...
