A few years ago, I got an Burris OracleX laser ranging scope for my Mission Sub-One Lite crossbow. I've really come to love it. For bowhunting, it eliminates a lot of movement and is very easy to use. It virtually eliminates my ranging error. It accounts for elevation. At the push of a...

I have a 10K Carry-on equipment trailer I purchased new back in 2007. Here is a pic of a new one: It is fine for my DK45 and implements. It is slightly overloaded when towing my JD35G, but it handles well. I have a old large Woods RM990 mower. It is a very tight fit. If I get the tractor...

I bought a JD 35g mini excavator a couple years ago. I've used it for habitat work and some driveway and logging road maintenance. I've got 2 projects I'm working on. Driveway: When the driveway was initially roughed in, I hired a dozer operator. He put in the major culvert pipes but did...

I have a somewhat unique situation. I have a barn with a cement floor that use as a deer blind from time to time. A year or so ago, I stopped growing trees from nuts, so I converted one of my watering tub holders into a shooting bench. It was just 2x4 structure on a harbor freight dolly that...

I normally burry my viscera so as not to attract coyotes. I took 2 deer on Saturday, one in the morning and the other in the evening so rather than taking the time to burry them, I dumped them in front of a game camera just to see what was going on.

It looks like our QDM is coming to an end. We are undersized for QDM we have just under 400 acres with close to another 400 of neighboring cooperating properties. We have been at it since 2006 on this pine farm. The biologist that oversees our DMAP program says he can see some improvement in...

Since I'm out of the hunting scene until my crossbow is fixed, I decided to work on security for the retirement property barn. I hope to extend this to the house. I watch a bunch of reviews online and decided to take the dive with Reolink. I initially got an 8 channel NVR with four 4k PoE...

As some of you know, I finally gave up on vertical bowhunting because of my shoulder and arthritis and got rid of my Switchback: Passing it on I've been introducing new folks into hunting for quite a while and last year, I gave my Parker Hurricane cross bow to a buddy that I've got started...

I invited our retirement property neighbors out to the farm to hunt during youth day which was Saturday. They have 2 hunting aged boys, one just turned 14 and the other is 10. In previous years the older boy had a shot opportunity and missed. Last year, the younger boy, hunting with his dad...

Years ago, we bought a couple hundred gallon tank for off road diesel at the farm. We installed a 115/120 volt pump. Over the years, I think we had to replace the pump twice and it failed a couple years ago a third time. My buddy called the company and they said we were doing nothing wrong...

Bowhunting has been a passion of mine for many years. When they first legalized crossbows in VA, several manufacturers sent reps to the training for our Hunter Education instructors. That was my first experience shooting a crossbow. As an instructor, I ended up buying a Parker crossbow, as...

I've got some older guns that are of low value. I thought about cold bluing them but I'm now considering parkerizing. It look like it is more effective and fairly easy to diy. Anyone done it?

It has begun. We did a 1st thinning on about 1/2 of our pines in 2013. We also clear-cut about 20 acres of low quality hardwoods and have kept them in early succession with prescribed fire. We signed a contract in early 2021 to sell more timber. This time we will be doing the 1st thinning on...
