Beautiful woods in their fall colors. Best time of year, IMO. Good luck getting that dandy buck!! Milled wood ..... yellow (tulip) poplar? How does it air dry, if I can ask? Long process, warping, twist, etc.

That buck is a worthy trophy any day, friend!!! Congrats on a beauty. Great pics - buck and N. lights.

Recommend any brands, MD?

Looks like your trees are doing well. Nice work!

I've planted a number of whips from other nurseries over the years. I always top those about 10" -12" down on a 4' to 5' whip. Topping forces the tree to start pushing laterals for more leaf surface/photosynthesis needs. That's always worked for me - and I got that advice from a couple...

Sunlight and a bit of time.

Here's a list of apple & crab trees that we have planted at camp. We chose these varieties for DR, and for varying bloom / ripening times. Enterprise Liberty Goldrush Wolf River Prairie Spy N.Y. 35 "Bonkers" Arkansas Black Also have 5 OLD! unknown apple trees - over 50 years...

Our camp is mostly no-spray ..... except for bugs & caterpillars, which don't hammer all of our varieties. I'm happy with the crabs and apple-crab crosses we've gotten from Blue Hill Nursery here in central Pa. Turning Point, Roadkill crab, Sweet November, Crabarina are all doing well for us...

Many of us have suffered though dry years the past couple. Rain makes all the difference. We've spread small-seeded plot crops using an electric one mounted on a 4-wheeler. Keep the same, constant speed, and the seed seems to get spread fairly evenly. We even pull a drag to cover seed with a...

I have done a few things typically. I only keep my hunting clothes in a lidded poly tub, and only put them on when I'm about to go afield. Washed in unscented detergent always. I shower with unscented soap, and use unscented, scent-killing deodorant. High rubber boots, just under my knee. When I...

Always problems. CWD is in several areas of Pa., too. never thought I'd see something like that here. :(

^ ^ ^ ^ Absolutely!!! Congrats on a dandy bow buck. Big mature ones with a bow are tops, IMO.

Clumps are wood sorrel / oxalis. Tough, resilient weed. Spot spray to kill it. It makes vertically-growing seed pods that resemble small green beans. The leaves shed sprays without surfactant - so use a surfactant to make the spray stick to the leaves. Probably take several sprays over a week or...

I guess I didn't realize you were looking for late season apples only. Our drop time for Liberty is about the same as yours. I wouldn't call it late season either. Our better late season apples are Enterprise, Goldrush, Kerr, Arkansas Black, and several crabs. The crabs are All-Winter-Hangover...

Our camp in the mountains of NC Pa. has mostly 3 different apple rootstocks on grafted trees that we've planted starting in Spring 2013. Native (^ ^ ^ ^ above) mentioned a couple of them. Antonovka, Dolgo, and MM-111 are the 3 varieties of rootstocks on most of our apple & crab trees. All are...
