Found these guys growing directly next to the driveway that takes you into my family farm. I know that it is nearly impossible to identify any random crab apple but I am wondering if these are possibly some type of wild pear. The leaves loom mor like my pear trees than any of my apples. I...

I'm always jealous of all the exotics and pigs that a lot of you guys shoot in the offseason. I don't have really any access to any of those hunts close to home. This is how I spend my offseason when I'm not doing habitat work. It has become one of my favourite things to do with a bow...

Ok guys, i decided to grow quite a few less trees this year since I did way too many last year. I had about 100 Dunstan hybrid nuts in the fridge and I was gonna grow maybe 20 of the best seedlings. Sometime over the winter I had water leaking into the crisper and all of the nuts ended up...

Well here it is. Not my biggest racked buck from around here but I do believe he was a 4.5 year old based on teeth and his structure. I killed him with my Hoyt on October 29. I had two of the craziest rut hunts of my life right around Halloween. Usually our magic days don't hit until the first...

Are these catkins? Sure look like it but I'm a first time Chestnut grower. These popped up in the last few days on one of my Chestnut Hill trees from Walmart. Is this normal for late summer? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok ya'll, first time tree grower here so I have been picking all of your alls brains for quite some time. Guys like Wayne are probably getting tired of all my novice questions that have been already answered many times between here and the old forum. For my first year growing Chestnuts, I...

Saw a cool lil toy for the atv plotters at farm and home supply today.. I actually do not own my own tractor but I am fortunate enough to have a friend that lets me use theirs. I started out plotting with my four wheeler and a 4 ft section of old harrow to work the ground. If I ever have to...

Found this one as a volunteer in an overgrown fence row that borders a yard that I mow. The tree has a "fruity" look. The fruits are very tiny at this time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ran into this guy on the backside of a property that I mow.. Has a bunch of berries growing, also appears to have some CAR. Thanks Scott Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I operated a small lawn care business as my second job. I run into the wild strawberries all the time in lawns and landscaping. Do these offer any benefit to deer or other wildlife during the summer months. I am assuming they can be somewhat invasive but they don't seem to aggressive. Thanks...

Gentlemen, are these small saplings persimmon? I found them today and the are not very far away from my biggest persimmon.. Where they are growing, they will be killed and planted in beans. I would like to relocate them but I know persimmon has a very deep taproot. They are about 3.5 ft tall...

Does anybody have any experience with this cultivar? Just curious if it is a good selection for wildlife. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I know from following most of you guys that Promix Bx seems to be the standard for chestnuts and other trees. I have never been able to get it locally so I have been mixing my own media. I just saw two types of all purpose Promix at menards.. Has anybody used these for chestnuts or trees like...

I wish this thread was as happy as the thread with my daughter's first deer. I shot this buck with my slug gun on the first evening of second shotgun season in December. The shot was about 70 yds through the timber at last light. When the deer stopped his head, neck, and front shoulders were...

It has been a long time since I have been on the forum....Been a very crazy year. My daughter managed to score on her very first deer opening morning of Missouri youth season. She shot it in the first 15 minutes of legal shooting time so we didn't even have to get the IPad out.. I have never...

Gentlemen, is there any major big box stores or chain stores that sell Promix Bx? I am located in west central Illinois and I have yet to see it around here. I know I'm being a tightwad but I don't even want to think about what it would cost to ship a couple bags. I plan on using this mix for...

Tonight I took a walk up the street to collect some dunstan chestnuts from my neighbor's hobby orchard. As I was talking to him and picking his brain on the Chestnuts another tree caught my eye. He tells me it is a butternut. Long story short I ended up with 140 Dunstan nuts and 9 butternuts...

Ok guys I am not familiar with dogwoods for wildlife. My neighbor has offered me a handful of Grey Dogwood saplings. He tells me that grey dogwoods are a thicket forming, root suckering tree like native plumbs. Does anybody know if there is much wildlife value to these trees? I know that they...

Just wanted to say thanks to Cutman, Dogdoc and everyone else involved with this site! Even though I did not post alot, the QDMA forum was a huge part of my daily life for the last two years. I was very disappointed the way things went down but I am very excited to continue to absorb all of...
