Happy Birthday!

Sounds like a lot of work so great job on turning the plot! Sounds like it was Mainly grass in that plot which is pretty shallow rooted which would allow for better soil compaction as well as it being clay. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As far as I have read, the roots of the previous growing season helps prevent be compaction of soils and keeps it loose for this growing season. The no till does cut a slit into the soil for the placement of the seed, but that's minimally invasive. As far as discing in organic matter, that is obviously a great thing to do, but it's a quick release of nutrients compared to the longer time release of keeping the organic matter on top of the soil. Generally the less tilling and the lighter the discing the better. These are all things ice learned from both my classes and Dr. Grant him self. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well since you are aware of dr. Grand woods, he is known for the exclusive use of no till drills. He lives in an area where the soil isn't the best, and he has no problem with lime not being absorbed. Nitrogen problems can be solved by simple crop rotation...a practice that has been used for hundreds of years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hope to see you around!

Its easier for someone that is just getting into it because the cost of a plow and all other things associated with food plots can be pretty expensive when you add it up. They are getting more affordable as they become more popular.

Probably because its relatively new so people are more comfortable with the old way. Also no till planters are are pricey so that keeps some people away. Eventually it will be a common practice as I see it being the future of farming. Higher yield, less gas and time spent on the tractor and no more soil erosion which is becoming a huge problem.

Happy B day larry!

No tilling is one of the best things you can do! It preserves the integrity of soil and doesn't destroy the mycorrhizae (beneficial fungi) in the soil which greatly improves yields and health of the plants. All the left over stubble from previous years serves as a great natural time released fertilizer and helps keep moister in the soil a lot longer.

It most defiantly is! I went when I was first venturing into bowhunting and it really helped Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bring the wife out with you! Family's are more then welcome. NFA and I will be giving some lessons on different aspects of bow hunting, so come on by to say hi. Welcome to the forum by the way!

Come on by hawken, the more the merrier! It will be at Suffolk archers in Huntington NY, pm me or NFA if you need the adress. Ill be helping with the shot placement, blood tracking and butchering seminars so come by.

There are definitely worse ways to spend 10 buck! Phil is right about Europe though, where my family comes from its about 200 a year for a hunting permit.

I believe its actually illegal. I think i read somewhere that food based attractants or attractants that encourage eating of what it is sprayed on is illegal.

I never touched upon who was worse, but I wouldn't say just "a little dust" on the trump supporter side. My statement was to prove neither side is innocent, which has been confirmed.

So basically what I said would be correct then? Neither side is squeaky clean.

There's no doubt that people have the right to defend themselves, but are you saying that they were physically attacked every single time? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just to be clear what do you consider provocation? Do you consider just showing up to the rally and disagreeing with him a provocation? Also id like to clarify that i'm not pointing the finger at trump supporters as always being in the wrong, because I believe both sides have been acting dumb.

Its a shame that people are hurt for their political views...especially an elderly man. Unfortunately neither side seems to be clean of that. A quick google or even youtube search will show the many attacks committed by trump fans and sometimes its done during a Trump rally.

Ive learned a great deal from deer and deer hunting, as well as a couple other shows like Randy Newberg.

I would take pygmy's adivce! Pretty much anything he says related to guns is true. The 06 will do fine, and i would suggest using the Barnes tsx ot ttsx bullets for such close ranges because they are not as explosive as lead bullets at close range.

It can be quite the show sometime. Maybe you've seen me cause i fish the rapids above the town pool.

Usually about mid September for me when the humidity leaves the air and i hear all the geese migrating at night.

Was this on the SR that runs through Pulaski? If so, do you guys fish the run during salmon season? I go for like 4 or 5 days every year.

My father and I did. We got 3J, 3M, 3S and 1C. Might go hunt Livingston county this year so I might apply for some doe tags up there.
