LET EM GROW

Could you hinge it in the center, so it would pivot over rock? I mean with what you guys scratched up, seed would have germinated in top no problem. before or after lol. good idea on the exclusion cage! I expect some serious browse pressure. You cant beat green soybeans.

Looks great sir! Ive always wanted a big plot back in the woods! Keep up with the pictures! and Best of luck to you

The culverator is Teets!! And beans with brassicas.. you'll see some serious pressure on that plot Mr Moog! lol

Good deal sir! It Sounds like its good enough to just broadcast and roll or let a steady rain bury seed for you! Keep us posted mr!

Right on! Id imagine it will be the "cats a$$"!!

I would imagine that will work well!! but may pick up tall vegetation good too?? Or maybe it will fall off since there sno angle or radius backwards.. Keep us posted Mr Moog!

no problem, just checkin. enjoy your day!

Happy birthday sir, Are you still looking for a machinist helping hand?

Mix for sure. but spread them separately for even coverage. Radish seed is two or three times the size of a turnip seed.

Lots to choose from, just got to make your mind up quick as many fall plots are going in now through late august. Also, realize you dont need to scratch or till soil to make a seed germinate and grow.. it can be a very simple process.

Not nearly as much as you are sir.. hats off to you! But when time permits.. I push my son up and down our back roads a few miles at a time.. Pretty views when the corn isn't 6ft tall + And i'm far from being in shape lol more like just a shape right now! Exercise is much needed, never been so far gone before. Also on my half hour lunch breaks I walk 1-1.5 miles nearly every day.

Depends what maturity group corn was planted. I would say you will be good to go, as the farmers know what they're doing. And that it will probably be harvested later in the year compared to last year. As long as we dont get early hard frost.. But there is also a chance that they planted it for silage. I would say it will be ok, and harvested instead .. I passed a couple fields that are prrobably not even 1 ft tall yet. Id imagine these will be silage fields, unless a very early day corn were seeded.

Just checked a couple of my cams.. and the darker of my 2 color phase bears from last year showed back up.. its a nice video but cant upload it here. So couple snaps will do. Hes sniffing out the annhilated hemp rope hanging Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I wonder if those are spots on his back or not? Sure Look like it!

I would say cinnamon! a beauty for sure. We had a very pretty cinnamon, and a darker more brown bear last year on cam in Steuben. the smaller darker bear came back through many times. and I believe this big beauty cinnamon was just seen towards prattsburg a couple weeks ago.

We try to take a doe each early season if possible. But that last couple years we seemed to take them later in the season, due to many busy. Plus to most of us we enjoy a archery harvest more than a rifle.. The majority of my neighbors get land owner tags. It sure is crazy. As Bob mentioned, I guess its good to have the archery antlerless and either sex tags. In 8P where doe numbers are plentiful but tag issuance is not..

If anyone needs proof, In how utilizing some sort of wildlife management practices aid in herd health.. Look at our properties that we manage in rocky poor soil 8P. We have somewhat hard time getting doe tags now for at least 5 or 6 years.. And according to this map its getting worse.. a decade or more ago, I would agree with this map... Today not so much.. Still MEDIUM for 1st chance... NoNE for 2nd chance. Granted this did come up from a LOW 1st chance a couple years ago. Our doe numbers are through the roof, and getting back closer to where they used to be a decade or 2 ago, I would like to think our managing practices and harvest selection has helped us with the number of doe we have, as well as having somewhat like minded neighborhood. I asked the surrounding land owners what they thought our antlered buck to doe ratio is and they all guessed around (7-10+-) doe for every buck. Yet we still have a hard time getting tags. It is simply crazy. I know this is based abroad, but i wish we could somehow either earn another doe tag, or be granted one for managing and having the available venison around. Whether it had to be donated or consumed ourselves, I wouldn't care. We are at a point where doe numbers need to be thinned, yet we cant do anything about it. Just a bit saddening. And I dont own enough land to get a land owners tag. Any other 8P guys here? What's your doe numbers like?

If it were me id plant a cereal rye and red clover in late august. Cereal rye grows anywhere, literally! its is high in carbon and will help build organic matter, unless you bottom plow it over. The following spring plant a buckwheat, oat, spring peas and crimson clover blend if you want to keep building soil. If not, overseed a perennial blend of white clovers into during March.

I would say 200 250 tops. The price you offer, depends on your relation with this said friend.. it may dictate your future relationship as well..

Never Tried covert yet. I have the old cuddeback captures from maybe 2004/5 ish?? they still work great. I also have the first digital cam that stealth cam ever made that still works. 1.3mp. I believe this was a 2002 model? I cant remember.. OTher than that.. The only solid cams i can vouch for anymore are Browning cams.. they are bullet proof. I'Ve owned many others in the last decade or so and there all garbage compared to a browning..

Not too bad for 55 sir!

I wish i had never put my first AR together.. I think it has become my newest addiction! Keep us posted boss, and best of luck to your boy/father!

Many big deer will typically use houses and access points to their advantage.. they watch us ding dongs stroll into and out of the woods. I have a 10yr old giant that always checks the spot where some guys park their trucks when season rolls around, while hes on his way to the destination field..

I used to love anchovies on my pizza, not sure anymore.. been about 20 years or more since i've tried it.

Whatever is on the plate.. just mix it all together .. breakfast, lunch dinner.. garbage plate every time!!
