The great thing about a spreadsheet is that it does a lot of math in a hurry, and can show a picture of numbers that are easier to grasp than just doing the same numbers one at a time on a calculator. Recently I've been playing with deer management statistics on a spreadsheet, and, as I loaded...

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a Polaris Ranger 1000, the test drive was impressive. Any thoughts, or what else should I look at? What brand or model do you have that you like? What accessories are a must have? This would be for general use, trail riding, running on the road, wood...

On Saturday I was hiking the Thousand steps https://pabucketlist.com/hiking-the-1000-steps-in-huntingdon-county/ and noticed that the Mountain Laurel was just going into bloom. I was always told that mountain laurel was great for deer cover and a survival food for deer. Interestingly, wikipedia...

One of our guys got this buck in Missouri this past fall, and the entire surface of the antlers are very consistently spiderwebbed with hairline cracks, these are actually grooves that you can feel with a fingernail. I'm very puzzled as to the cause of this?

Right now DEERHUNTERFORUM doesn't open right on my android or my PC, it displays in a simplified view that's horrible to navigate and read. I can open it in normal view on Tapatalk but I dislike their layout. I think I remember someone else having this issue, but I forget what the fix was...

Carrying tools on an ATV in an easy to remove box has always been a problem for me, years ago I made a custom box out of plywood, but it lacked finesse and wasn't very user friendly. Today I was sitting here looking at my 4-wheeler and suddenly my Milwaukee PACKOUT toolboxes caught my eye. A...

What is the best "Food Plot" species that can be managed for deer? Or, what are some simple, yet complete systems of "multiple species" that a beginner could plant and manage to provide food and/or habitat for Whitetail Deer? What are some more complicated plots that take more time, money, and...

The annual summer migration of snow geese moving north through Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area in southeastern PA is occurring about a week earlier than average this year. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Here's how we often make our new mineral licks, or freshen up an old one. However, I was also curious how everyone else makes their mineral licks, does anybody have any good ideas that we may be missing? Thanks in advance. Allen

We need rain badly here in PA and there's not much on the forecast. 2019 had a dry spell in late summer, 2020 was even drier, some of our ladino clover is still spotty from drought damage last summer and this year's starting off worse, it's unusual to be this dry in mid May here. I washed the...

This past Saturday I threw a 200 gallon tote of water on the back of my truck and sprayed some of my small clover plots for weeds. This is probably the most important thing that I do all year for these plots, in fact, it may be the only thing I do all year for some of these plots. A food plot...

Hey you Texans, how are all of you faring during this calamity that we see on the news? No water, no heat... @Drycreek

I'm thinking of making a homemade push pole for hinge cutting. The ones that I find for sale are expensive and aren't exactly what we're looking for. I'm seeing a seven footer for $150 plus shipping from $36 to $42 and tax, and seven feet isn't long enough for what we do, in the past we've been...

This fellow i know decided that he's too old to keep jumping up on the bed of his pickup truck to get his stuff. And jumping back down is often where he says the real damage is done. So I'm experimenting with a few methods to reach tools and hunting gear on the back of an 8' bed for him...

I'm finally getting to work on finishing my meat pole that I bought a year ago. I haven't even taken the time to take it out of the box until last week.

Show us your best crabs if you have any? 2 1/2 years ago in the spring of 2018 I started a little test on some popular crabapple varieties and the early voting results are in. I planted some American, Dolgo, Eliza's Choice, and Transcendent crabapple trees from Willis Orchards, the mail-order...

I recently took notice of these Mile-a-Minute invasive weeds after I started noticing heavy deer browsing, and found out that it's a member of the buckwheat family. Who'da ever guessed this one! We always considered Persicaria perfoliata as one of the worst invasives around. When you log an...

The somewhat invasive Princess Tree, or Empress/ Paulownia Tree grows at some places in our area, and I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about it? Have you ever seen or heard of it? Do deer browse this tree?

I planted four varieties of soybeans side-by-side as a test this past spring, and the roundup ready Titan brand was a late addition to the test with only 2 bags planted and no special expectations. Well, the Titans have hit it out of the park and won the test by a mile. They are 5 feet high and...

With a such a rich history in in America's founding, and as the designers and manufacturers of many fine products, I sure hate to see America's oldest gun maker Remington struggling to pay their bills. But that won't change how much I like my favorite 870 shotgun or how well it shoots. Sent...
