This is a subject ive been really interested in for a bit now. I have almost exclusively northern red oaks on my property and while they are useful at points in the season when they do drop, I would like a more diverse and lengthened food source. I had an extreme leaning one that was cut and it...

I am new to grafting and have been looking for a grafting knife. Seems there are quite a bit out there, any suggestions?

Native I checked out blue hills, thank you its a great site. I am growing an enterprise apple which is a little shorter of a drop time but right in line with yates it seems while being more known up here in the north east. I plan to graft some trimmed branches this spring to a feral tree that...

Thank you NH. I will look into blue hills

Im not a southern man being in NY but I have seen lots of your pictures on here native and I can see you have some BEAUTIFUL trees. I will have to look into yates and see if they will thrive in my zone (5b). Are they good?

These are some beautiful cabins/lodges!! I am clearing a patch of white pines and I am saving the better logs to fulfill a childhood dream of building a log cabin. My plan is to place it strategically with windows facing the opening where I am planting “food plot” trees and hopefully a good...

I actually found a wild elderberry growing near a deer trail on my neighbors while setting up a stand site in late august. I picked a handful of the berries just to start a few plants for my chickens but now that you mentioned it the bush was pretty chewed up. I will look into wild plums. I have...

Welcome to the trad bow family Triple C!!! Longbows are the only bows I have ever really hunted with and I cannot express how emotional I get every year on the first deer down with one. I like bigger platforms on stands but they usually come with arm rests or shooter bars which are usually in...

Thanks for the response j-bird. I fully agree about having shrubby browse around. My neighbor cuts firewood fairly regularly so there are always fresh openings. I spent a good hour shortening a swath of red osier dogwood to about hip high last winter to keep the new growth at browse height. I do...

Thanks for the input Mennoniteman. I am interested in doing food plots and started a very VERY small one just to give it a test go this year. Its about 12x12 foot and I used a cheap bag of what turned out to be almost entirely rye grass. I was not impressed and started looking around for more...

I have already started clearing an area I want to build a log cabin/shoot house. Im fairly new to habitat improvements and I was watching a lot of youtube videos for info. I quickly realized some limitations I had and some bogus information that was being put out there. I walked the property...

I have been working with a nursery near me that has mostly nut trees. I help gather genetics and work a bit for trees and seeds. Chestnuts, hazelnuts, and oak crosses. I chose bur X gamble crosses for the quick growth and its ability to produce acorns at a young age. I placed them on the south...

Hi my name is John and I am all about the outdoors. I live in upstate New York with my wife and son, our dog, cat, chickens and a mess of wildlife. We moved in a year ago and I am still learning what all is going on out in my 10 acres of woods. I do not own much equipment but I still thoroughly...
