For those that have created bedding pockets in the timber what have you found that works best/ doesn’t work. Size, how far about, etc. I have yet to have a timber harvest but need to create some bedding areas and am trying to avoid hinge cuts. Any advice would be great. My woods are just too...

All. Looking for a tow behind spreader that I can use with my atv. Just looking for something to help with spreading lime and fertilizer. Was wondering what you all have used and liked.

Happy Thanksgiving All! Curious to see what most of you are using for windows in your deer blinds. I was leaning towards Deer view but seem their quality might be slipping according to some reviews online. So I'm curious to see if that's just an unhappy customer or what people have had the...

All. Might be a dumb question but I need to add lime to my new plots. I can’t get a like truck in so am stuck with my atv. What’s the longevity of ag lime vs pelletized lime? Am I making a mistake by not hand spreading 50lb bags of ag lime when I can. I’ve normally used pelletized lime.

All. Getting ready to start my next plot and have a blank canvas on the shape to design it. Would love to see pictures of your favorite plots/shape designs.

For those of you that hunt these types of swamps do you find they are more of a pass through area or an area that deer bed in?

All. As I’ve stated before!! I have numerous wet areas that are reed canary/tag alder swamps. I’m working on thickening them up. (So far only adding ROD). What types of willows would be best for this application? Or any other plant that would be a good addition for bedding/cover Sent from...

I have about a 8 acre piece that backs into my “hunting neighbors”. It is safer to turn that area into bedding or food. I recent added a perimeter trail so there would be a slight buffer. I was leaning towards thick nasty bedding but was hoping for some input.

Hey All. I have a new plot that I recently put in and have a section of woods that adjoins it. I was debating using this other section of timber to create more plot. The section of timber lines a typical tag alder swamp and consists of mostly mature fir (so not much timber value). It does get...

Curious how big you all make your access trails along your property line? I have an excavator on the property putting in our camp road but I feel that would be too big.

All. recently had a plot cleared and made bigger (wasn't expecting to get it done this year). Im in Southern Maine and have put some WR out due to all the trees being removed. The soil sample was 5.5 and was just gonna do some WR and oats. Think it's possible to get some daikon radishes...

All. I’ve dragged my new plot with a fence drag that was just cleared by an excavator. There are small roots sticking up in a lot of places. What’s the best course to get rid of them. Hand cut all of them? Can I just let them rot away? Tired of cutting already.

All. Just had my first plot opened up on our property with an excavator. The dirt is still very fluffy and soft in areas. I know I need to pick up the roots and sticks but what should be the next step.

What is everyone’s thoughts on fencing the perimeter of their hunting ground or farm?

Looking to plant a mix of turnips and radishes in a couple plots this year. I am In southern Maine (zone 5) and over seeding into clover. When would be the best time to seed? I know the commercial seeds say July 15-August 1st but would prefer actually advice from people who have planted.

Just curious how you all spot treat small (sometimes only a single weed) areas in your food plots. I’ve got just a handful of broadleaf weeds coming up in my clover plots (already killed the grass with cleth). It’s appears that it’s mostly bracken ferns.

Just curious how high the legs are on your shooting house legs. Build my base today and was having a hard time setting it up (mine are 4x4x10). In this location I don’t have room for any big equipment right now. Curious the height y’all use and how you stand them up.

Im looking for some option to help thicken up some areas. What is everyones thoughts on green briar or should I go another route. I looking for mostly in low wetland areas. I am starting some ROD this year but looking for other options as I go.

All I have a small creek bottom that runs up on edge of my property and I'm debating how to use the area. the side hill on each side are not very high or steep. Should I be using this area as travel for myself, bedding, or something completely different. I feel with human travel any deer on...

Getting ready to mark out my plots for the timber guys. Are there any particular design or shape that you all have found to be more productive/better than another. Ive already picked out my entry/exit so that all set. Thanks
