That's no big deal just raise fees for dummies like me who didn't buy a life time license. On another forum I visit any hint that our DNR is less than perfect would get instant flames. Dear sightings on our property have decreased by at least 60% over the last 10 years, due mainly to the...

I have first hand knowledge of this. We replaced a rusted 36 inch culvert with a new plastic 48 incher going into our property and bedded it with crushed limestone and rip rapped the ends. we thought our problems were over. Our area has had 3 heavy rains, they were closer to flash floods this...

There is a well on our property at an old home site, it and a large bunch of Easter flowers is the only clue there was ever a house there. It used to hold water but has since dried up. I found a hammer head in the crotch of a fallen tree near where a friend said he and his dad found a moonshine...

That's cool, I've kinda developed a hankering for a 6.5 Creedmore. May need to check this out.

I should have checked the forum more often, I just bought my 2 sons a TC compass apiece. Both 308s $197 after rebate. It's passed now sorry. They're not the slickest bolt guns I've ever seen but accuracy is guaranteed and the price was right.

Hopefully you're aware of the big snafu in the Indiana hunting guide, contrary to what is printed in the guide, no center fire rifles this year on public land. Private land rules are the same as last year.

I've used a knight & hale easy grunter plus for probably 20 years. Its plastic but does the job for me. Cheap and it works!

Just signed the contract yesterday, I've got some work ahead of me but it should all pay off in the long run. There is one requirement that I'm not pleased with that involves honeysuckle removal is the area that we call the safe zone. Hopefully once the honeysuckle is gone other native plants...

I hadn't heard from my NRCS agent for a few weeks so I gave him a call today. He said my application had been approved but the contract hadn't been sent yet. He looks for it to show up in a couple weeks. Hopefully it will have cooled of a bit by then and I can get to work.

I think that ^^^^^^^ pretty much answers why you shouldn't use area sprays on clothing. Most critters don't have the life span of humans. Long term affects may never show up on an animal, who knows what might show up later in our lifetime.

My place has tons of persimmon trees about 3 to 4 inches in diameter, but they seldom bare much if any fruit. Would fertilizer help get more fruit an what should I use. I'm not much of a tree farmer so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I found it! It's on the OLDGOBBLER turkey hunting forum in the general discussion forum , the topic is Homemade permethrin tick spray need help. There's 7 pages of discussion.

I can't remember which forum I read that on. I wish I could because there was several pages of discussion. The risk of contacting a tick born illness out weighs any possibility of harm from the permethrin. You just have to use the right concentrate. I'll see if I can find that forum, it may take...

It's a fact that when dry permethrin is not harmful to humans. The oil based sprays don't dry as fast or as completely as the water based types. What the long term effects are I don't know, I do know it is a poison that you're not supposed to come in contact with when wet. I can't remember the...

I don't want to stir up trouble but this stuff is not for use on your clothing. Do some research before using this it is oil based and doesn't dry like water based permethrin. It is an area spray. I use it on our camping spot and it works well for that. There was a lengthly discussion about this...
