Got the idea for this thread reading Cutman's post about his favorite stand in the Live thread. Those of you who have sets that just really stand out, how about putting up some images showing the stand location, prevailing wind, access etc, and describe what makes it so good? I think that'd be a...

Cleared a new plot for clover back in the spring and have had these two plants come up. Both are small and I do not know my weeds and grasses

I have an orchard that is just over half an acre that I want to get established in clover starting this fall. I would like to spray to kill grass/weeds and plant something now but I am not sure what would work this late. It will be another week before I can plant anything, and I can plant up to...

One of the projects I am currently kicking around is a large scale planting of shrubs for browse and somewhat less for cover value. My experience in these projects is just lacking. My property has very little area outside of planted pines which have become very browse poor with age. I have some...

I have cleared a section at the edge of some planted pines where they did not take very well in order to establish a clover plot of roughly 1/2 acre. This is something that I have not done before and have no experience in. A soil test ism coming, and the ground will be amended before any planing...

Does anybody have a source for historical wind data? I am planning stand locations and want a general idea of the occurrence of certain wind directions with time of year.

At what point downwind of a stand are you no longer worried about deer catching your scent? Or walking on the upwind side of a bedding area for access? I am planning access routes and stands but I don't know what I can and cannot get away with. My goal is to get stands and access far enough from...

I know that a lot of what's good for the deer is also good for turkeys, but does anybody have anything that you do specifically with turkeys in mind? Thanks everybody.

Does anybody know of a good pair of pruning shears? Broke mine today on a peach tree. Steel and American made would be nice if anybody has a pair they'd recommend.

Does anybody have a cheap source for bear boxes and or python locks? I have had bears tear down 2 cameras in the last 2 weeks and that makes 4 in the last 3 months.

How would you all recommend going about creating bedding cover from an area of planted pines? My planted pines have gotten to a point now where they have choked out the understory, and I can walk and see fairly easily through what was an impenetrable jungle 3 years ago. I would like to get that...

I would love some input and advice from those of you who have experience with hunting oaks. The land I hunt has a handful and I’d like to move on to planting some trees with a longer wait time to bear mast now that I have the immediate future covered. So what are everybody’s favorite oaks and...

While I was posting in the Plans For 2018 thread I realized two things, one that it probably should have been in general discussion not Native Habitat Management, and two: we should have. place to talk about what the best improvements we made this year were, and how they impacted wildlife. I'll...

With the season coming to an end, I was wondering what everybody is planning on doing with their property now, I am looking for a bit of inspiration for projects to take on this year!

I have been approached by some family friends, asking if I will teach their 8 year old son how to hunt. Hunters being few and very far between where I live (just plain killers being very common) I happily agreed to take him hunting with me and teach him all I can. I'm just not sure how exactly...

So I am thinking about planting the property line between myself and a neighbor. I'm thinking some kind of low, dense growing evergreen tree. Any suggestions? Would have to be at least semi-tolerant to shade.

I know this is a deer hunting forum, but I wonder if you guys could help me with a turkey problem. I have been full scale overhauling what little land I have to work on for deer over the past 2 years, and I have seen vast improvements in deer usage, and health. But what should/can I do to try to...

So the biggest project I have undertaken on my land thus far was to clear about an acre to serve as an orchard. The presence of stumps in this orchard makes it impossible to till, but I still want to plant food on it, hopefully to get a nice, weed-free floor for my apple trees. Im thinking I...

I've been on the hunt for a source for Strawberry bush for the past couple of weeks, and I have come up pretty blank. Nativ Nurseries sells them barefoot, but they won't be back in stock until December. Anybody know another source?

Spring coming along, maybe get a place for the turkey hunters to talk turkey? Sorry, I couldn't resist.
