NWTF is a great company. I picked up my RR corn again this year from them. $25 bucks a bag.

Happy birthday!

Fields are soaked! Hope they dry up within 3 weeks.

Grow, how long before your Hazelnuts produced? Do the deer hit them and what time of year?

Business connection?

My oldest son is 6 and he has been shooting a bow since 4. I think when he turns 8 or 9 I will get him a BB gun and go up from there.

I have much to do. First I need to plow under the standing corn, disc the standing beans, disc the pumpkin patch, plant 5 apple trees, 5 pear trees and 75 Filbert trees and 75 chinkapin oaks. Just to name a few things lol.

Phade, killing mature bucks in New York state is very challenging. Actually killing mature bucks anywhere is challenging. When I first got into QDM like most I had unrealistic goals. Know 8 years into it our view is more inline to our property size and the surrounding factors. Although my family members have taken mature deer recently on the property I haven't taken a mature buck since 2006. It's not lack of skill per say but the lack of time afield. I can shoot 2 1/2 year old bucks every year with the bow but that's not what I'm looking for. If I don't tag out on a mature buck my season isn't a failure in my eyes. I'm at a different stage in my hunting career. All I can say is each hunter sets their own expectations and they are the only ones that have to live with them. I'm very confortable with mine. Happy hunting!

Don't get me wrong ....i want to kill a mature deer.

I rather have bumper crops of soft mast and hard mast every year. My intention is the available food not so much trying to pattern the deer.

Covert cams all the way!

Very hard to beat clover as a go to food plot.

like gman said bulk lime. If you have access and can find someone to spread it is the less expensive. get a soil samp done first and see what you need. I like to plant plow down crops for two years to build up the organic matter in the soil but not necessary.

maybe the way to go? what do you non xbow guys think?

just curious. some states don't allow scopes on ML. Maybe that's the compromise? I don't care either way.

What if NY reg's didn't allow scopes to be used with xbows. Would you guys put down the compound bow for the xbow?

i usually prune in February.

Well, this week last year it was in the 70's as march was very warm. My apple trees flowered and then late frosts came and zero apples. Actually the last two years I had no apple production. This March seems to be below average temps and April looks to be the same. Looks like apples will have a better year...Maybe? Let's hope so.

Deer are looking good at my place. the 10 acres of standing corn and 8 acres of standing soybeans has helped tremendously. Also, the three acres of brassica helped too.

Welcome!

Yep. Never again will i do business with them.

I did.

I believe the FDA and NY state allows growers to sell pumkins without FDA approval. Now if i was selling processed food that would be a different story

100 acres 2600sf house otsego county $4500.

Have a good flock of 50-60 birds on my place. They are loving the standing corn! Never had these numbers before.
