Am I correct that the Chinese Chestnuts drop way earlier than Dunstan? Yay or Nay? Dunstans late September/early October?

Mennonite, when do your Dolgo crabs drop? I have seen everywhere from August to December in my research. I have planted 3 this spring, and if drop times are right, I'd like to plant more. Thanks for the information. I would just like to add my two cents in... I have now ordered from...

I just got back from the farm for the first time since early spring... and 8 of the 9 chestnuts I planted last year have died. ARRGGGHHH... all 35 of my apple and pear trees are doing great. I was forced to plant the chestnuts in June and did my best to water them throughout the summer to get...

Thats a giant! I hope he likes apples... if he does he screwed

I planted 8 trees last year that were 7 foot tall. I figured since there wasnt any branches that deer can reach I'd be fine just tubing them. The bucks rubbed 3 of the tubes off the trees and rubbed the trees. I know 2 are dead for sure... one was showing some signs of life this spring. They...

Well I wanted to give you guys an update on the 9 plum pits that I “planted” in solo cups in mid October. It’s probably been 3 weeks and we have sprouts in about 6 of 9 of them. The jury is still out on if this is going to work but here’s a pic! I’ve never tried this so if I’m doing anything...

I had a big weekend!!! Let me take a minute to set up the situation and change in hunting strategy after hunting this farm for 170 acres. Every year we say the rut passes us by and we don’t see much rutting activity. Granted, we fell into the trap of all the ultra conservative advice out there...

Here’s the hit listers!!! Need one to slip up this weekend Sent from my iPhone using Deer Hunter Forum

Sorry for the delay but just now getting to an update from last weekend. We had left the farm alone since opening weekend and it seemed to pay off. My buddy got into one of our favorite stands early on Friday. He saw 6 does throughout the hunt before he heard a 8 pt grunting and growling coming...

Yes I would definitely walk the fence line in. Like the others have said, it will be very hard to continuously see deer if you stomp through the area they feel safe in. They may not move far, but they could become completely nocturnal quick. Glad to see you are 2 new hunters trying your...

Jason said it best! That pic of a lane going through 8 ft tall grass is the vision of my property in the future! Love it Sent from my iPhone using Deer Hunter Forum

So pretty! This above pic is my best looking food plot for whatever that’s worth. This blend is the Real World Deadly Dozen Below is the same blend. Not bad! Pretty set up for sure. I hunted here in the afternoon and saw nothing! That tree in the pic is the first apple tree I planted on the...

We have lift off on the 2018 season! It was a wet weekend, and I wasn’t all that optimistic of getting many hunts in. The weather was decent enough Saturday morning to try it. I am glad we did. Shooting light was 6:30, and by 7am I got a text from my buddy on one of our food plots that he shot...

Give me 6 week or so and hopefully we have an update. A reminder would be nice around October 15th!!! Hahaha Sent from my iPhone using Deer Hunter Forum
