    Looking for a new late season coat

    I’ve got both the wooltimate jacket and the vest. Both are super warm. The jacket is too bulky for bow hunting, at least for me. They run big too. I also bought the stand hunter extreme bids on sale last year. Wore them a couple times on really cold days. They’re absolutely the best. They are...

    Pinetag's Plot - 43 acres in Virginia

    That’s your clover. In my limited experience it’ll spend most of this year putting down roots and really take off next spring. Adding the rye is going to provide a food source all winter and will really help keep weeds down and provide shade for your clover next spring. Looks like Great...

    Fertilize now, plant next month ?

    I’m in the same area as you are. I’m in western Crawford county and I’ve been using the phrase scorched earth. I’m putting lime down this weekend. I may spread and lightly disc in my fertilizer next week so my plots are basically prepped and just wait for rain in the forecast. I ordered my...

    Weighing seeds

    This - I use a cheap digital kitchen scale and a plastic measuring cup. I weigh a full measuring cup and then just do the math from there.

    Persimmon trees?

    Sure looks like persimmon to me.

    working towards LC mix....

    I only have a couple years experience plotting but I wouldn’t leave out or short change the rye or the clover. The rye through the winter here in my part of Missouri is great throughout the winter and especially into the early spring. The clover helps out in the spring and early summer as...

    Hand spreader for large seed (buckwheat)

    I have a couple earthways as well. My only complaint is the plastic clip that holds the strap on.

    Late Season Bow Hunting - Clothes

    I think they run just slightly large. I’m an XL in almost everything and there’s plenty of room in the XL wooltimate jacket for me. The sleeves are a little baggy but manageable. The same is true for the Berber fleece jacket. I’ve tried that on and the Length is good in the arms but the XL...

    7MM Rem Mag For a "Not new but not intermediate" Hunter?

    It sounds like you’ve really got your mind set on the 7mm. It’s a solid choice. Keep us posted on what you end up with.

    7MM Rem Mag For a "Not new but not intermediate" Hunter?

    That can certainly be a factor. Once you get enough components then dies aren’t all that expensive when you look at the savings. I reload for everything I own. It’s a hobby all to itself. I like to say I say it doesn’t save me any money though. It just lets me shoot more for the same amount...

    7MM Rem Mag For a "Not new but not intermediate" Hunter?

    I’ll be another voice. My first rifle was my dad’s old army surplus 6.5 x 55 Swedish army surplus carbine. The first rifle I bought was a Remington 700 BDL In 7mm Remington mangum. I love that rifle. It’s probably 35 years old now. I load 150 grain bullets for the most part. I shoot a variety...

    Mock Scrapes - Use Them?

    I did my first couple this year. One of them was near one of my water holes. I had a couple pictures of fawns checking it out in early September but then it fizzled. The other one on the edge of a food lot trail got taken over but the deer and became a regular scrape where I watched a young...
