Come on over Drycreek. We will feed you fruit and deer meat. I might even rustle up some fried apples.

Thanks Flatiron 75. The plot the deer is in has wheat, clover and alfalfa. That other plot has wheat, clover, and chicory. That little weed is a volunteer called Venus Looking Glass. It's a welcome addition, because deer do like it.

Core, and slice your apples. You can also peel them, but a good frying apples has thin and tender skin - you just cook the skin too. I like tart apples the best for this because you can control the sweetness by what you add. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced apples...

I’ve not posted much lately but have been doing lots of work outside. I have cleaned up storm debris and trimmed all my roads. I also have my field mowing finished, and I’m close to having shooting lanes cleared. This is a good fruit year. Most all my trees are loaded up. I believe the deer...

Yes sir, they look great.

I'm not in to peaches, but I have heard this is a good rootstock. Can't believe the price is so high. You might find cheaper. PS - Also read what they say about chip budding. https://www.cumminsnursery.com/buy-trees/product-detail.php?type=rootstock&id=27771

Mowing seems to meet your goals: 1. No disruption of soil biology 2. Mowing at the right time/s keep/s unwanted plants from making more seed 3. You control the amount of thatch at planting time I will say that you are likely to be killing JG for years coming from the seedbank, but with RR...

167 mph? I didn't know you could move that fast!!

You bring up some good points to consider, and thanks for that. Once I make my decision I may post a map. The way I’m set up for rifle hunting I don’t think anything will change. I do bow hunt occasionally and that could be influenced by my decision.

Yes, I have heard good things about that apple. I have never eaten one though.

Those are some excellent things to consider. I will certainly be researching some before making a deal. Thanks.

Hey MM, come on down and we will let you compete with my deer for the apples :D. Yes, this early apple is very tart and not good for fresh eating. However, it is an excellent frying apple with sugar added. My in-laws love these for frying, and I always take them the first bunch. There is...

June apples on May 31. Saw the deer eating them and walked over and picked these up.

Three more things are happening near me that could change my hunting. Time will tell how much and whether for better or worse: 1. Bordering me on the southeast they cut timber this spring in a 20 acre woods. This will be a grown up jungle soon. I'm not sure if the guy who hunts it will know how...

The cash would be a little more than double that amount, but cash isn’t the main reason I’m considering this. I’m getting older and cutting back on some of the maintenance is desirable. Also, if I had a good relationship with this fellow I could hire him to do maintenance for me on the remaining...
