Thank you everyone for the well wishes and the advice!
I am not looking to be the poster boy for expensive hunting, rather I am planning on being a minimalist to start (figure less likely the wife will kill me that way) So far, I am figuring that minimal gear should be a compass, map, knife, rope/cord, binoculars, water/snacks, gun, and a little luck. Am I missing anything?Thanks all!

dmandoes- Was in Wyoming 2 seasons ago. Was there for 5 weeks. Kept count and saw 56 moose (cows, bulls and calves). Saw the biggest moose I have ever seen. He walked between my partner and me. At one point he was about 8 yards away. In the same general area, he chased one of our guys into a bunch of softwood tops.
What area did you draw for?
Area 36, low density area, 2 of 5 moose tags were filled last year.

I usually get 150 to 200 bushels/acre depending on year. Its planted in rows and fertilized in rows. I spread nitrogen later by broadcasting.

I had (3) days to use up by the end of June, so I cashed in 1/2 of one today. I stopped at Rineharts and picked up 200 pounds of triple 15 starter fertilizer (that is enough for 4 acres of corn at the rate I use it). The cost of that was $ 9.40 per 50 lb bag. I also picked up 2.5 gallons of Crop-Smart (41 % gly), which was $ 14 per gallon, and about a pound of sweetcorn seed while I was there. I have lots of leftover field corn seed ready to go, since last year was too wet to get any planted.
I got home in time to get about 2 acres plowed for the corn, on my driest ground. I hope to get that spot planted by June 1st. The other wetter spot (about an acre), I hope to get in by the end of June. I will save 50 pounds of fertilizer for tunips planted in late July. The current plots will be mostly field corn, and each will get about 1/2 pound of sweetcorn planted along the edge mostly for raccoon eradication purposes. I am looking forward to trapping as many of those as possible this summer, starting when the corn starts making tassles, hopefully by early August. The sweetcorn will draw them from miles around. We might get a few meals out of it ourselves, if it don't cross-polinate with the field corn too bad and if the coons don't take it all out before I get them.
Our town is being ravaged by rabies right now. The best way to fight that is to get rid of the coons. Since fur prices tanked, no one traps them anymore, resulting in an out of control population and rabies. I did not plant any corn or trap any coons last year and the neighborhood pet-owners are paying the price for that right now. Two years ago, the coyotes would dig up the coon carcasses within a night or two of my burrying them (the DEC recommends that landowners bury or burn "damaging" coons prior to the opening of regular trapping season in mid-October). There don't seem to be any coyotes left around, based on the numbers of red fox that I am seeing (I ran over a young one on the way to work this morning). Nonetheless, I am not taking any chances with the coon carcasses this year, so I have a fine burning barrel all ready for the carcasses. There is so much fat on them in August that I imagine they will light up like roman candles after a little squirt of lighter fluid:
I hope all the corn that should be left standing, after the coon eradication, will result in a few deer hanging around here after the first shot is fired on opening day of gun season this fall. Last fall, with no corn around, they all bugged out at that time and I had a hard time even finding a track back there in the snow after December 1. That was why I did not use up more vacation days then. I will save them last 2-1/2 days until after bass season opens up on the third Saturday in June (I got to fill that freezer one way or the other).
R your numbers right? $14 /gal gly? $9.40 for 50lbs of 15-15-15? If ur numbers r right , I feel like I've been raped. Any pics of corn from past years? You use a lot less fertilizer per acre than I do.

I think you’ll be fine. I have rabbits, woodchuck, and skunks and Notbing has touched mine and I’m using rocks as the bottom lol. I did spread some coyote urine so maybe that helps?
