G-Man

Another dh. I believe this was a buck a neighbor wounded jumped and lost its trail.. was about 300 yards past where trail was lost in swamp. Gave head to neighbor.

In my experiance yes. I have a couple bucks on cam up 3 inches already growing new horns

Gf in tonawanda sent me video of big 10pt last night that was still carrying

I'd rather have the wild onions......

In believe those are actual wild onion! Leeks have a broader leaf..

The earlier you pick them the "hotter" they are as the bulb grows they become milder. Now to may is fine imo as I dont like them to hot, my neighbor digs them in February I can smell him digging them 1/2 mile away

Birds had decent hatch and lot of Jake's around as well you maybe surprised at what is around. Bird will leave an area of high disturbance by dogs, or people. Long distance scouting is a good tool to use on small properties

Have a friend who wanted so leeks. I guess they are hard to find for him.. took him to my little leek patch.about 30 acres of them.. smells so strong I almost get nauseous... he got a bag full in about 5 shovel full..

Yes there are trees that sprout from.stumps succumb to blight and resprout, each time shorter than the last , american chestnut has become an understory tree when it use to be called the redwoods of the east.. 30ft plus in diameter 200ft and taller..1 /4 of eastern forest was chestnut, half the weight of oak 2x as strong and rot resistant as redwood. Huge loss to us and it was primary food source for passenger pigeons.. ( though hunters get blamed for killing them off loss of habitat and food had much bigger effect) Another lesson forgotten..quit bringing in things from china, chestnut blight,emerald ash borer, asian Longhorn Beatle , and lately viruses... when will we learn just stop bringing things here from china....lol

Allegheny chinqipin would be similar.

They Look to be, they usually drape them over sunken limbs. Always fun to find.

Yes the american chestnut foundation has a lot of info if your interested.. I always think of the Christmas song chestnuts roasting on an open fire when I see them...sad that 1 of every 4 trees in the northeast was a chestnut and they are just gone.. a few survivors sprouting from stumps..a shadow of what they once were.

The burs(husks ) would be open showing 3 flattened nuts that would of fallen while on the tree you would see where they attached in bur, if you open that bur you would find 3 shriveled skins as meat of nut never developed.. need a 2nd tree in a few hundred yards to cross pollinate

Looks non viable.. too bad I have quite a few on my place and they are prefered over everything

The wild oysters in the aspen are ridiculous friend got over 40lbs last year.. hoping the ones I'll be doing do. Half as well.

I know some on this site hunt for wild fungi,but has anyone delved into growing their own? I have a large Aspen patch that is full of oyster mushrooms, but have decided to try some blue oysters, there as well. lionsmane,and shiitake will be going in a large pole sugar maple stand, going to try log method.. any one have any success, tips tricks.. once they are established can you inoculate new logs using old established ones?? I dont want to have to buy spoor every few years ..

Congrats!!

Glad kaleida health said f that to him.. I'd lose mine like he had them in storage, mine would dissappear till needed here.. just trying to protect his voting base

The state is unprepared ,mainly due to cities, the base of Cuomo's votes.. historically cities collapse in times of disease, Egypt, indonesia,maya,Inca, even the american Indian city recently discovered.. they are dependant on the rural areas . When the shipping stops so do the cities. Cuomo needs to show the cities he is doing everything he can for them.. doenst care about rest of state as he only need cities to vote him in.. his executive order to redistribute is solely to help the city ..if anyone thinks they will come back to. Rural hospitals when they are needed may as well loan 40 buck to a junkie and expect it back next week...

I only protect the trunk from rubbing and while its young once limbs are pruned over 5 ft and trunk big enough the fence comes off. Commercial orchard are typically dwarf trees and deer would devour them if whole orchard not fenced. Not worried about them eating apples , have many photos of them standing on hind feet picking apples. Makes a nice spot to hunt as well. When their heads are up in the limbs.. and a simple net on a ploe let's one pick what they want from the ground safely.

My deer orchards I leave as is. These will get dormant oil spray,malathion, and sevin. As needed.

A little tsi today, soon to become hosts for blue oyster mushroomsorchard with trees in fencing

New orchard , the ground between will serve as a mini garden till the trees prohibit it.. then it will be put into clover. trees are protected by 2x4 x 4ft welded fencing 26in long pieces formed into a cylinder. I prefer 5ft when planting in isolated areas but this is off my lawn and will be more of a human consumption orchard and deer orchard upon retirement

Well honeysuckle is nice in that it is 1st to leave out well before most other shrubs, trees ,plants. So a simple 2 to 2.5% solution of gly is all that is needed. Spray and move on ,just have to make sure your not getting yourself or if it is too windy having drift occur. I like the leaves to be about penny sized when I spray. If you pull them all you do is disturb the soil and old seeds from them just regrow. The dead may stand for 2 or 3 years before they are on the ground rotting away. If you want them down faster you could crush them. Personally the game still uses the skeletons for cover but you can see them as they hold leves very late. You can also use the same method for autumn olive as it also leaf out early

Well have a few new orchards started, a 16 tree apple orchard from antique varieties of apple. , a sweet cheery orchard of 4 trees and a 6 bush blueberry patch of 4 varieties and still to come 22 bush blueberry patch of 5 varieties.. got them all fenced and 2 hours later the deer were nosing thru them, glad I had them fenced.. will get some photos in daylight. Soon to start will be a honeysuckle project , hope to remove a few acres of them where they have taken over. Be next few days as they are just starting to leaf out... Always projects to do.....
