In Barry Wensel’s new hunting tactic video series he describes using a regular garden hoe to clean out individual foot sized circles to step in. This might help keep the deer from taking over your entry path. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Awesome weekend J-bird! The Hoosier state opener was blessed with great weather, and I was blessed too... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Definitely it! Thank you! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Definitely a compound leaf, and I found some more this morning on a walk. No thorns on the stems, but they are new shoots(canes?). Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Just noticed this at my field edge- appears to be a young shrub. I’ve thrown a variety of different shrub berries into this area, and get a lot of bird activity, so it could be a wide variety of things. I routinely toss highbush cranberry and hawthorn berries into the field edges hoping for...

By the way, you can eat the fruit also. There is a short window in June/July when the fruit turns yellowish and softens that it tastes like papaya, but you have to beat the raccoons and opossums to get any! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

At least you were able to save that sweet deck, and the necessary shed! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Fascinating-I’ll definitely be checking for female flowers this year to see if the nuts abort for some reason. The hazelnut colonies on the farm are in clumps-a few hundred stems in three widely spaced bunches along the creek and a swampy area. I dug up and transplanted some last spring with...

Curious about what factors can reduce the hazelnut crop. In 2017 my bushes were loaded, and I collected gallons of nuts, many that I started in pots. 2018 I searched in vain, only finding a handful of nuts on plants that produced tons the year before. I don’t remember any late freezes last...

I thought I always heard a ton of shooting growing up in Indiana, until I hunted Appalachia. I’d hear more shots on an average early November bow hunt in deep southern Ohio than I heard during the entire gun season back home. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Gonna have to call an audible this afternoon-between Thursday’s ice storm, and an inch of heavy wet snow, my switchgrass is flat! Guess I’ll have to go beat the same tree to death. Man I wish we’d get a wind change. I’ve really only got two spots for this northeast stuff. Sent from my iPad...

Saw a really nice buck tending a doe in my creek bank this morning, being harassed by two smaller bucks. Gun season opens tomorrow... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

That’s a real possibility. Following the drought summer of 2012, 2013 was the biggest apple crop in memory. My wife’s aunt and uncle, who press cider apples every fall, had almost double the output in 2013. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

For most of my adult life I’ve believed that fruit (and nuts, for that matter) are on multi-year cycles. I know that in my family’s case, our apple trees only produce heavily every other year, and seemingly on the odd numbered years at that. Is this simple confirmation bias on my part, or is it...

Native we need to start a GoFundMe site to cover your taxidermy bills![emoji23] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Really enjoyed the update. Makes me miss my days of hunting eastern Kentucky back in the 90’s-good times! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Love ‘em! They just flat out want to grow. I’m deadheading coneflowers later this week, I should have plenty. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

J-bird, I should have hazelnut to share. I’ll check my bushes whenever rain from Gordon let’s up. Update: well, disappointed to share that I checked my hazelnut bushes along the creek, and found ONE nut on hundreds of bushes! Last year they were loaded, but this year nada. Looks like they were...

I think my 4020 might need a baby brother... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
