Love your updates! Honestly, your thread makes me realise how lazy I actually am;-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lol, every time I see him I ask if he would like to adopt a 33 year old;-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think one of the first things you need to do is plant a pear tree! Surely someone here has some scions from your old tree in Iowa. I wish that your Iowa threads were still around. That was my favourite property thread. I guess since I am only about an hour south of there I could relate to it...

Some of my earlier dropping Dunstans have started opening up the last few days. So far the deernand squirrels are keeping up with everything that has hit the ground. Big nuts this year. If anybody wants any let me know. I have had near perfect success with direct seeding these. Sent from my...

Thatch layer looks awesome for throw and mow. Should make a good plot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't really have anything special to offer. I can get tons of persimmon seed from a big old tree. Drops from early October through November. I also can get Dunstan Hybrid chestnuts. Trees are pictured. I'm after DCOs and Concordias (just like everyone). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am just guessing but I would imagine Sam's plums are American plums and not Chickasaws. That is all I've ever seen in the wild in my part of West Central Illinois and also NEMO. I think everything eats them around here, I've heard that deer love them but coons do to. I plan on trying some...

This one must handle disease well, leaves and tree are the cleanest I've ever seen on a fruit tree. Hopefully my deer will eat them. Scott Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks weekender, that is what I was hoping to hear. I was actually considering buying some of those seedlings from Nativ too plant soon. Do you have any experience with the wild deer pear? I just curious if they get much use from the deer. I will have to keep an eye on these and find out...

Found these guys growing directly next to the driveway that takes you into my family farm. I know that it is nearly impossible to identify any random crab apple but I am wondering if these are possibly some type of wild pear. The leaves loom mor like my pear trees than any of my apples. I...

Weasel, I have always followed your whole thread, even on the old forum. You are definitely creating a deer paradise on smaller acreage. Awhile back you posted about a plan you had done from a consultant, I'm curious if you are still all in the plan? Did you go with the switchgrass plantings...

That palmated buck is a stud! I bet when the bucks disperse from bachelor groups you will gain bucks. Is there much ag in the area at all. At my place here in Illinois, once the first corn fields are harvested, we start seeing all kinds of bucks that we have never seen. It's like someone...

Man that power line right away looks like a great place for a big buck to die! Brassicas look to be off to a solid start. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Place looks amazing as always! The young looking 12-13 pt could end up being something special! He looks like he would be tough to let walk now, at least for me. Did you find many chanterelles this summer? With the drought we had there were very few around me. Thanks Scott Sent from my...
