Nice, she's a fat one for sure, congrats

Yeah it a bucket list item for me, I just don't have the time to try growing my own at this point. Later on I'm trying it.

Well thanks for chiming in Allen I'll deff reach out about buying some trees!!

Will due, I'll probably update this as I go from start to finish!

Seriously no shirts, what a joke. I bet if we boycotted the site he'd take notice and act pretty quickly.

I did, I clicked on the nys chapter and that's where I saw the CBS report. I'll keep looking!

Found this on there site.

Interesting, I heard they were making progress but weren't 100% certain it was fully resistant.

Well it's the time of yr I start transitioning to habitat improvements. I have a window basically till April where I don't have a ton of distractions on the weekends. Seems like a lot of time but usually the weather turns to sh&t and it's either super cold or lots of snow. Anyways I'm thinking about planting a small chestnut orchard using Chinese & Dunsten. I'm thinking at this point maybe 10-30. I have some areas where the ash trees we have are dead or dying and I thought this might be a great spot to fill in the void. Any suggestions on where I should order them from, how small or tall? Me I'd rather spend more on a larger tree (within reason), sooner it produces the better.

I hope someday when I'm gone at least one person on here wonders where I am!

What happened to fast Eddie??

Best wishes on healing up! Hope you come back stronger than ever!

Good question, I'll have to ask them. I heard they chased some plant thieves down to the city recently.

I think it's hard to answer, some places just have the right soils, right genetics and habitat, and naturally it's a good area to produce nice deer yr after yr. I hunted a property like this fairly early in my hunting days and yr after yr there were multiple and multiple big bucks cruising the property. Now a days the property I have doesn't have the best soil..... so you have to work for it, food plots, habitat improvements..... and maybe even some help from your neighbors letting smaller bucks go.

And people say im difficult because I don't like to fly what's so ever. Sad deal

All in all it was a good day, saw 7 doe this morning and 3 bucks this afternoon, one got me close to pulling the trigger but he wasn't what I was looking for, heck I don't need anymore so he's gotta be really nice. My brother saw 3 doe and one buck and my dad saw 1 buck and 1 doe, so pretty happy with those sightings!

Between my brother and I we saw 10 doe and one buck this am, not to shabby. I'm gonna head out for a hour or so then dry up for the evening hunt.

Yeah good call, I'm basically due west of where you hunt and my wife said the driveways a sheet of ice, it's crappy down this way 8n. I'm debating if I should head home before it gets worse.

Busted 3 tails out of the food plot and have 4 doe in it now. They are getting a pass and I'm hoping they draws me a big buck

Tomorrow I'm gonna pull a most of the day hunt with this change of weather coming in and as a family have nothing going on so I'm free!!! Not sure where I'm going first thing probably a game time decision ( I usually have a hardtime deciding which stand)

This morning I grab my coffee sat on the couch and enjoyed looking at my buck rub tree!

This may be the last yr, our son at 10 was not a big believe, this yr at 11 not at all. Same with believing in santa.

Haha, yep but the elf is no longer effective with our son as he's to old now. Back in the day we used that thing against him, we'd say hey the elf's watching and will tell Santa, that always worked!

I like it!!!!

Here she is....... Love it!! The buck rub special, that's what the place had on the price tag, yes it was dirt cheap.
