Fantail

I'm still upset that Walmart stopped selling biodegradable camp soap.

gunner1; I would like to suggest a bag of Antler King Fall/Winter/Spring. It is a winter rye/peas blend. I would say in your area you could drop it down around labor day giving you time to do some prep/clearing.

T-shirt girl in snow camo?

In the first set 2nd pic it looks like the fur on the back of it's neck is up - look cool.

I like deer porn showing climber trees in the background.

One of my cams in particular took allot of nonsense shots in a spot that these pics remind me of. The waving overgrowth was setting it off. Thought the cam was a pos. Well, it is but getting it set about 6' and med settings helped out.

I'm kinda jealous of 3 things; the buck, the field, and working cams.

Game cart off craigslist - 40$.

Heck yeah.

Nice pics. Big `ol radar ears on that doe.

50-60 days, good sunlight, sounds about right. I don't think they like the heat of summer though. Funny how the seed looks like granola.

It does give me an idea on venting a sealed battery bank.

That is a bit freakish. So how was the fishing?

I got my son a 20ga for Turkey hunting it likes the rem nitro's off the top of my head can't remember the choke. But then we picked up a few boxes of slugs and it took to the buckhammers - now it kicks like a 12 ga.

Well some good news, had a good chat with the operator. The drive path mud is being taken care of, in fact I can get through with the Jeep to camp n/p. He's also up for some extra work before they pack up including a little plot clearing and main trail repair. The bad news for now I can't get back to the plot area with the Jeep from camp. I will have to rethink-plan the plot work, maybe even put it off untill next year. Bought a few bags of clover/chicory mix hope it'll stay good. I mean even if the job is done by end of month I still have prep work and I don't thinkit leaves much grow time for a perennial, still have to tend to the winter rye plots near labor day. So might wind up leaving a 1/2 acre dry - might have time to get the tiller on it. </end babble> A cut area - pics tken standing on a stump facing west/east. Prior to the cut it was thick and hard to see through.

catskillkid; the thing about that is this is the tug hill area - off a dirt access road that closes Dec.1st. I can hike in from the main road 2-miles but there's usually 2-3 feet of snow by Jan.

If anyone wants to see a collection of products we shouldn't use just go to Gander Mountain. Try not to trip over the pallet of salt blocks, right next to the sign.

vtpainter; nice shots especially the turkey. Certainly not an abundance of them in 6k - my jazz is north of Williamstown.

Maybe he was just upset that Walmart stopped selling biodegradable camp soap.

Hazel nut trees/shrubs shoot?

Update for end of June. Temporarily parking on my neighbors place - 40 or so yard walk into camp. Because my driveway - trail is a mess. Not happy about that, some work went into getting it drivable - making arraingments to get that flattened back out. Went for a walk around the place - seem to have pissed off a doe in the area, on the way back I bumped her fawn. Sure hope they find one another soon. Also, several fresh tracks in and about where the logging is taking place. Also spotted two turkey hens close by.

`99 Jeep Cherokee about 175k on it. Had a set of heavy duty leafs installed recently with supporting hardware, bushings etc.

A bag or two of Antler King Fall/Winter/Spring blend comes to mind. (70% winter rye 30% peas). Since your going to be working up the plots for a few years anyway. It seems to tolerate some shade and ok with ph of 5.5&^.

Geno C; I hope it all works out to. The logger was recomended. Have lost a little sleep though thinking about it all now that it's in progess. Part of the deal was leaving most of the cut tops. About 1/3 of the trees shadding the clover plot(s) will be gone letting more light in. That mix seems to thrive in partial shade. I am already working on expanding them. There is nothing in the contract about leveling feild/plot areas, unfortunatly. But knowing the sun's canopy so to say and judging by what will be cleared I think I will wind up with at least double the available plottable area. And then there's some of the new lanes and paths I can in time turn into something like I did with the winter rye plots. If the operator is open to a little extra work before they pack up shop with the equipment already there I could have some of that going sooner then I anticipated. But honestly I think 2-3 acres of plots is plenty of work for me inside of 50 acres. Hopefully this job will help nature do the rest. Ontop of that a bunch of these trees being cut will open up a path to a part of the property - at least an acre in size that is wet/soggy but not swamp. It is already open, gets good sun, has some overgrowth, some bushes and cattails and it;s a little lumpy. Could become something, say 5 years from now.

Well I think the mess question has been addressed. I think others who have had this done before & posted could better answer your questions. A good deal-contract should spell out what the pay out/split will be. I would think if you just wanted your property looked at a forester would cost you. You mentioned your place was partly logged a few years ago, to that I can only add I asked these guys about returning in a few years to snag a few more trees not quite ready / marked. They didn't seem to like that idea.
