  1. Well you could go the route of using hormore treatment, but I never did. All I did was put it in water for a day or two and then plant it in the ground. You could also just take a clipping, make a cut in the bottom inch of the clipping, stick a corn kernal in that and plant that in the ground and stick it in the ground. Make sure you take a good sized clipping from the past years growth and plant it pretty deep. You want to cover at least half of the clipping in the dirt. Anything covered in dirt will sprout roots. Make sure the cuttings you take are cut at a 45 degree angle. I have planted 15 trees like this and only 3 died (i believe a dog killed those tree's because they did well for months until one day they just died). My father has also done this many times with my grandfather as well as my other grandfather doing it as well more times then he can count. The benefit of this is you can take 10 or more clippings from a tree and you should have a some that make it and just pick the healthiest of the bunch. It also helps that the only cost associated in this is the dirt if you choose to buy it. If you like, I could make a video of this when I prune my peach and fig tree's. There is a better and more efficient way of doing it that has been passed through the generations in my family, but its very hard to explain over a message.
  2. Heres one thing you can do that helps shorten the growing time. If you can find someone that has a paper birch tree, you can take a cliping and plant that. I have don't that with most of my tree's and it works wonders. My father used to do it back home when he was on the farm. Its relatively simple to do and can take a few years off the growing time.
  3. Id say to start small. The older they are, the less likely they will be to successfully grow. I have moved a few older tree's, but they were out of the ground for a very short period of time.
  4. Congrats to your son, thats a great buck. Sorry to hear about the taxi though.
  5. Sounds very detrimental to the eagle and hawk population there.
  6. My peach trees are budding right now. Really hoping it doesnt get too cold and kill off the blossoms.
  7. You seem to forget that back during the civil war the republicans had what we now consider democratic ideologies and democrats had republican ideologies. It was some time after the civil war, that there was a shift in ideology. Not bashing the republican party as i'm a registered republican,but its not quite as you say for ending slavery and Jim Crow era.
  8. If your looking for a reel go with a redington behmouth. I used it this year and it took a beating and asked for more! Cant say enough about this reel.
  9. It's not about the size of the fish, its about the area I fish. I fish the rapids above the SR's town pool and if they turn down stream your chances of landing that fish drop significantly. The 10WT allows me to put some more muscle on the fish so I can swing it in if it goes downstream. If I was fishing just for steel, Id get a 7WT probably.
  10. 8WT seems to be the standard, but I know people that use 6WT's for them. I use a 10WT for salmon though.

    Accubow

    Interesting product. Some thing you can also do is target the muscles youll need in the gym. Dumbell rows and facepulls are great work outs for training bow muscles.
  12. Really? I was told by my hunter ed instructors that if you can prove that you do not have the ability to used a vertical bow with in legal poundage, that you are allowed to use an xbow.
  13. Sorry to hear that bugs. You should get a letter from the doc stating you cant use a vertical bow and that will allow you the use of a crossbow during bow season.
  14. Saw my first one this year about an hour after i got my first pic of one on my cams. Amazingly fun creatures to watch.
  15. I was also thinking the same thing. That part made me think the whole 2500 a week is bs. You are correct they all live in big houses. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. I would think the same thing as well, but I know a CEO of a company that lives 2 hours from his job in Manhattan or 2 of my mothers co worker that lives an hour and a half away (one makes 350,000 a year). Sometimes people really want to live up there. I find it odd, but nothing I haven't heard of. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Well if he really makes that much money then why not? In economics there's something called opportunity cost. Not sure what the going rate is for snow removal as ive always done it (Id be surprised if it was more than 40 bucks up there), but if it takes him one hour to shovel it, it could possibly cost more if he shoveled it than if he payed for it based on how much he is getting payed per hour. Now Its a great work out if done right and I don't miss an opportunity to shovel my house as well as my neighbors houses.
  18. I always was told they stop hitting them when they turn, but hit the pods in the winter time
  19. Never heard of what wolc is talking about, but I know many people who have bad experiences with soybeans, even when it gets cold. Some herds don't like eating the pods. Usually very good while green though.
  20. Ill fish for steelies in october and man those guys are fun to catch. They're a little too far for me to fish during the winter.
  21. Ill sign it with pleasure, but its a pipe dream. No way he's not going to veto it.
  22. I'm nervous as well to try it, but I have many family members that never used any nitrites so ill be asking them to teach me how to do it.
