I've been using one of these for 3 years and can't say anything bad about them

Thanks for that, I laughed so hard I woke the wife and dribbled a little. May need to go see a doctor myself now.

I that was my plot and it was planted with WR and MRC I would not do anything except high mow this spring and summer. Late summer I would come in with a disc and cut now more than two inches deep and really tear it up then do my fall planting.

Personally I like them, but they are not perfect. I've been using the SST's in 25'06 for about 15 years and my wife has been using them in .243 for about 6 years. High shoulder shots have never passed through but were always DRT. I've purposely shot deer lower, just under the heart and got a...

I'll second the cereal grains and clover mix. Where about are you located? I shouldn't be to far away in Rowan County and I may be able to help you. Are you in the service?

I'll have to give another big thumbs up for the Earthway backpack spreader.
