    Midwest Deer Trees vs Bluehill

    I have several of Luke’s MidWest Deer Trees, his Holy, County Road & No Bull crabs, and l do like them, so far. The trees I received were only about a foot tall w/o roots, but all of them have grown quite vigorously, and both Holy crabs started producing 3rd leaf after planting. A pleasant...

    What is your “go to” weapon for deer hunting ?

    The Swedish M94 & M96s are beautifully machined rifles. I’ve never been able to get used to their cock-on-closing bolt throw, though.

    What is your “go to” weapon for deer hunting ?

    It is. It was a small ring military Kar 98 mauser shortened by the late Cadillac, MI Gunshith Roy Stroh. I did the rest. The trigger is a timney, but it got complicated because I reduced the height of the magazine by over 1/2”, so I had to shorten the trigger housing, redrill the trigger pin...

    Kiefer Pears in Northern Climate

    BoneCrusher You might consider emailing Ryan at Blue Hill Nursery and asking him for his recommendation for late dropping pears for your hardiness zone.

    Kiefer Pears in Northern Climate

    BoneCrusher I took a chance this spring and planted a couple of Danville Kiefers from Blue Hill, and I am in Zone 3b - 4a. Beautiful trees BTW! I planted them on top of a ridge with 120 feet of vertical air drainage, so I have my fingers crossed. And some of the info. I found on-line...

    Buckman or Big Dog crabapple scions?

    letemgrow, I can prune you off some Ralph Shay in a couple of weeks, 1" to 1 1/8" deep red fruit that does not drop until spring. Great winter wildlife food, but unfortunately not much help for deer hunting.
