    Drilling in the rain

    Of course when i finally get to rent a drill for the weekend to plant my beans it’s gonna rain Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I’ve never used a drill before so I’m not what affect this will have? If it’s just the minor inconvenienc or getting wet, so be it but I’m more concerned with the...

    Killing pines

    What’s to become of my brassicas

    Planted Labor Day weekend, then we decided to go an awesome 40 day rainless streak. Started raining October 7th or so. I’ve got good production but “stunted” growth. This is my first go round with them so I’m not sure what to expect. I’m in western ky and we’ve already had a couple freezes. What...

    Predicting total failure...

    or maybe I’m being pessimistic because this weather pattern has me in a severe depression. I hate hot and i hot dry, luckily we have both in spades right now. I planted my place in western Kentucky Labor Day weekend. I don’t live nearby so due to a ruptured appendix and a trip to Alaska that was...

    Playing devils advocate

    Where do you draw the line... With what deer hunting has become, high fence becoming more common, bait piles the size of pick up trucks, trough feeders with protein pellets, ctc hormone thrown in feed, why is night hunting “unethical”? I’m not talking about spotlighting, I’m talking about night...

    Returning back to...

    crap! Part of my property was an old cattle pasture, best I can gather about 30 years ago. The previous owner (I bought in January) would maintain certain open areas as pseudo food plots and roads and just random clearings. The areas the were left alone have grown up in junk in my opinion...

    Starting fresh

    on my recently purchased property I have a lot of fescue from its years as a cattle farm. The former cattle pasture is 50 of my 250. And of that 50, a lot has grown up with random crap for lack of a better term. MFR, honeysuckle, winged sumac, poplar, etc. from its 30 plus years of laying...

    Is there a negative stigma

    surrounding sawtooths? I’ve heard a couple people make mention of it on podcasts but never elaborated, and a forestry consultant I hired said he had mixed feelings about them but he didn’t have much of a wildlife eye. The previous owner of my property planted a decent amount and some in the way...

    Pond maintenance

    bought a piece of property with a little over an acre pond. Just closed last month so I’ve never fished it but what I know about it is: stocked with bass, bream and catfish, spring fed, looks relatively deep from the perspective of the dam, and is shaded 360 degrees so probably helps keep temp...

    Screening trees

    new property has a cabin with a long view of some “crows feet” food plots. I want to screen the plots from the cabin so they feel a little more comfortable while we are there. What’s a good tree to plant for that? I have Leland cypress at my house and those would do the trick but man they grew tall!

    Probably beating a dead horse

    but any advice for property line stands? Not just on the property line but facing into my property? I took one last look at the property I’m closing on in 2 weeks and noticed a set that looks like maybe they were videoing but the lower stand is literally in the tree that makes up my line and is...
