This is really helpful information for a lot of people. There is a new “gospel” floating around online that says “Thou Shalt Not Hunt The Same Stand More Than Once.” Usually guys are trying to emphasize the importance of not pressuring deer, and I get it. But to think somehow that sitting in...

Here in SW Indiana we had a bumper crop of native persimmons this year. We haven’t even had a frost yet and the ones that have hit the ground taste great. I’d say 30% have dropped so far. Definitely medium to smaller in size. We have little seedlings everywhere that I might transplant when...

My dad bought Dunstans in 2014ish (SW Indiana). Burs are green and still closed.

I hear ya. Deer around here absolutely floor the pods just about any time. They might stop for a couple of weeks during the yellowing phase. But then it’s back to pillage and plunder. I assume that would happen to these beans in particular since they are the only beans in town for a couple miles...

Thanks everyone. I’ve decided to wait a bit longer out of caution. It won’t take me very long to wind up the wire so waiting a tad later shouldn’t pressure the place too much. I will pull the outer poly steps but will probably just leave t-posts where they are.

I’d love to hear some thoughts on what others would do in my situation. I currently have two separate soybean plots (see diagram) that are one acre each and the leaves are just starting to turn yellow here and there. They have both been double layer hot-fenced since day one and have a decent...

Thanks guys. I’ll be reading for a while. I didn’t include Persimmons because I already ordered 10. My dad has them on his property and the deer absolutely love them. Hey, I love them too. I am currently growing Dunstan nuts in hopes of a fall planting. I planted 5 Chinese Chestnuts...

So, I'm a bit new to the whole tree game, and I know a great deal of you have been in it for a long time. I'd love to add some variety to the habitat around here and have been struck by the "Curse of Google," meaning that a search engine to help me decide these things has taken me down a...

Drewboy, I'm with you on this one. I stuck some apple tree cuttings in a jar and set it on a window sill about 2 weeks ago. Leaf shoots have now sprung but no visible roots. I figure I will try to plant them and see what happens.

I always start by running cameras parallel to the road in high traffic areas (low spot in fence, low spot in terrain, places where woods might pinch down or weeds stay high). This is a good starting point to branch off of. Every one of these spots needs a camera. This should catch that rutting...

That's a great point. I was advised by a friend/farmer to sow some various annuals into my soybeans once the leaves fall off to help avoid this very thing.

I started down the road of building a home brew solar system for my Cuddelinks, but I couldn't really justify it because Cuddelink is selling solar panel kits with rechargeable batteries for $49.99. Making one myself would be pretty close to that, plus a giant case with a battery sitting on the...

Here's something I still haven't heard a lot about on here: If you no-till every year around my area, over time this hard clay ground gets compacted on top. As a result, things like pelletized lime and fertilizer have a tough time leaching through in the same way as when tilled. I've heard...

Definitely subscribe to the habitat-talk feed. They announced just a few weeks ago that Cuddelink will now be compatible with a power bank that snaps onto the back. It's supposed to sky rocket battery life, and could also pair with the solar panel. I am running 2 solar setups on a couple of...
