@Native Hunter nailed it on the Turkey loads, that's advice to take to the bank. Here's some of my stash of Turkey loads, I've got the required #5 longbeard and some other old relics. Back in 1980s Remington nitromagnum ruled the roost, now it's all about TSS loads and hevishot that cost $10 a...

I used to really be into squirrel hunting and in the late 90's I had right around a 50% sucess ratio at 80 yds, which was the most common distance when still hunting, using a German made Anshutz .22 rifle. Then Savage came out with a heavy barreled .17 HMR in 2000 and I upgraded my squirrel...

I've used Eley Standard HP for quiet, accurate squirrel loads, but I don't know how they would compare with the CCI Quiet loads you are using. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1392379205

I have not purchased land in Alaska but I've purchased land elsewhere and witnessed a few scams. So this is more than one parcel for sale? Like someone subdivided land outback somewhere? Might this be similar to the people selling timeshares 30 years ago that people spent the next 30 years...

On second thought, that's Triclopyr 4E, at 61.6% content (v.s. Triclopy 3 at 44.4%) that's a pretty good price, I'd better keep some on hand just in case...

That's my second option. The crossbow was $45 a gallon, too good of a deal for a mennonite to pass up! But if it doesn't kill trees it's the most expensive stuff ever... (and I always like a chance to try something new) Stay posted for results on "crossbow herbicide" basal application testing.

Are you thinking a "small deer" paradise or a small "deer paradise"? And can moving quotation marks in a sentence make as much difference as good habitat management? :)

I just got hit once again with what is a common occurrence for all of us; a product that I really liked isn't available anymore. Yesterday Daniel's Farm Store said they quit stocking Triclopyr herbicide for killing woody brush and basal bark spaying of trees, and they pointed me to Crossbow...

A bounty on predators would be a simple thing to manage, and the biggest boost to game populations that wildlife management agencies could ever do. But the liberal thought process in the schools teaching these people says we need predators, not hunters, to balance the ecosystem.

It looks like heavy rain falling in SE Kansas!

Coyote thinning is a good step in the right direction for wildlife survival rates

This is a typical Pennsylvania Dutch supper menu; 7 layer salad with sprouts, brown butter noodles, lima beans, and broiled top ribs with cheddar cheese and pretzels on the side.

I zoomed in when you first posted and thought I'm just seeing fat cheeks with gray whiskers.

That looks like a really big cat. Do you see those on a regular basis or is that a rare sighting? Have you taken any bobcats or don't you have a season?

Wow, that burn was pretty wild. Nothing exciting happening around here. I guess I need to do some burning in my woods...
