My honey hole is right next to a big dead elm and an ash tree. All the other trees around are cedar.

I would say a bit under 120"

So who else is hitting the woods early on May 1st?

I'll be out if I can get up. If not, oh well -
beautiful pics. So cute. Maybe you've covered this before but what is your camera rig?

obama gives no respect
blackradio replied to tuckersdaddy's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
who cares? Much bigger things to get your panties ruffled about. -
ever eat puffballs? Just really starting to get into mushroom hunting now. I hear puffballs are decent to eat. My buddy was shed hunting and he said he saw one the size of a basketball today. I'd be interested to try.

They like to grow around elm and ash trees especially dead elm and ash trees. My honey hole is next to a big dead ash tree in a low spot that's kinda swampy. The other spot I found them was 15 yards from a swamp too.

No morels today but found a ton of wild scallions.

None in my spots yet but the next two weeks we should start seeing them pop up. excited!

no signs here in my normal spots. Anyone else?

Food plot ideas...need some advice
blackradio replied to blackradio's topic in Land Management, Food Plots and QDM
They didn't touch them the first year or for a few years after planting too? -
Food plot ideas...need some advice
blackradio replied to blackradio's topic in Land Management, Food Plots and QDM
Thank you Grow. A lot of helpful info. We will test the soil this week before we decide on anything. I've been reading on qdma.com about plots and they recommend 60% perennials/20% annuals and the last 20% annuals based around your hunting stands. So the alfalfa/chicory/clover mix plus some brassica mix seems like it'll be a great combo. The alfalfa mix should hopefully feed the deer over the summer and the brassica in the winter. Everywhere I look recommends clover mix and some annuals too -
My first pistol Glock 9mm
blackradio replied to HectorBuckBuster's topic in Guns and Rifles and Discussions
I looked at the Gander MTN in Orange county and Ulster and neither had any glocks. The worker there told me Glock stopped sending them pistols after the laws went on the books. About how much did you pay for it? Really wishing I could find a used one. I'm looking at the Taurus pt709 9mm as my first pistol. Seems nice and is easy to conceal. -
Food plot ideas...need some advice

First, we're going to spray it with Round Up, wait a few days then hit it with a york rake or roto tiller. I don't see why we can't plant in few weeks. Maybe I'll plant some spring wheat so it'll grow for this season. I just read that winter wheat is planted in the fall and will come up in the spring. -

Thanks for the reply guys. It's not a steep slope at all, can't really estimate the slope of it but it's an easy walk up it. I guess we'll but a ph tester first and see if the ph is good. Who makes alfalfa plus? WTI makes Alpha Rack Plus which is Alfalfa, clover and chicory and they say, like you both did, that it's food for hill sides so that sounds like a good one to me. Plus we can plant it now. I want to say that I'm not dead set on WTI, I've just heard their name so that's where I started looking. -
I hunt a 200 acre farm in 3G. Have a lot of nice bucks there already but me and the guy I hunt with want to plant 2 or 3 food plots to promote antler growth/healthy heard and to attract the deer to a few select areas. Area 1 is on the side of a hill and is a west facing overgrown field. Lots of prickers and tall grass. The second spot is about 300 yards away from that and is a small clear cut in a cedar thicket, also with lots of prickers and on a west facing slope. Both plots will be around 1/4 to 1/2 an acre. Any ideas what to plant? We'd like to plant different things in either one. We're definitely looking to plant perennials and something that will come up this year. Right now I'm considering Whitetail Imperial Chicory Plus http://www.whitetailinstitute.com/products/chicory.html -Has 44% protein for antler growth and I can plant it in the next few weeks so the deer can munch on it all summer -should last up to 5 years -a mix of chicory and clover For the other plot I was considering something I can plant in mid to late summer that will last into the winter months. Whitetail Imperial Double Cross (clover and brassica mix) seems good. http://www.whitetailinstitute.com/products/doublecross.html I have no experience with this any brand so I'm not sure what is good. Frigid Forage seems like a good product as well. Just not sure if this big name stuff is better than the store bought product. Thanks for any advice recommendations.

Any one else gearing up to do a little turkey hunting?
blackradio replied to Guns&ReligionCop's topic in Turkey Hunting
Not me, I'm looking for a big spring gobbler. -
I bought a Future Beach Trophy 126 kayak 3 years ago and I still love it. My 3 friends have them and my dad has one also. Two storage hubs, and 2 rod holders. I take mine down the river with all my buds during the summer and sometimes I just lounge in the lake with it and bass fish. Nice kayak with, especially for the price. Only downside I can think of is the seat isn't great, but putting a foam seat behind you to lean back on fixes that problem.

What is wrong with this country?
blackradio replied to noodle one's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
entitlement. -
I have a vortex viper. Awesome scope and awesome warranty like the Leupold. I don't see a reason to use anything else personally.
-
hah that's what everyone is telling me. I did see two bigger bucks this past year so I have high hopes for the coming season. No more full mounts for me for a while unless I shoot something similar with bow. Euro mounts are nice too and don't cost anything. But, I am really happy with this mount, I have to look at him every 5 minutes when I'm in the room.
-
unique rack, similar mount as mine. What's the spread on him?

poor fella
