Once its dented and black tipped it can stand innards field and be fine. Most.farmers dont have storage for it so it will stand till they have need of it or the silo they have employs a bit..why pay taxes on a silo if you can leave stand.. idk if it. Will dent and make black tip.. this year

NoHate to be a spoil sport but the answer is possibly.. a short growing field corn may produce ears BUT.... it may not have been planted to go to kernel / cob corn. If there is not enough time to go to black tip and dent it will most likely be chopped for silage before a frost hits while in milk stage. It usually takes about 45 days from silking to dent. It is at this point its dry for harvest , to pick earlier takes a tremendous amount of drying time = propane and $$$$.. So you may have corn you may not.. now the hard part for you is to hope for no frost till November so it can mature and dent.. it's the hardest thing I have to do every year is hope my.corn makes it to dent so it doesn't rot ,and if it frost in milk deer avoid it as many of the fungus that grow on it are toxic..

It seeds pretty even , 7mph with fast spinning plate .. as for planting then rolling them planting. It's all about Time, I'm on call 24/7 365 days a year. If I was retired or weeks if vacation for planting and weather cooperates every time I have a day of I would do a lot differently. Corn by me use to be gone by mid Nov. Since corn prices went up most fallow field by me are now corn and I can get it to last into spring so.e years depending when they harvest.bears dont seem. To bother my corn, they prefer the heavily fertalized farmers ..Soybeans by me will not grow as Turkey, woodchucks , squirrels and deer devour them as soon as they are planted.

My cat chases bear and deer, she chases the deer toward me at least.. when she loses intrest sitting in the stand with me...

Very nice , be interesting to find out history on it..

Mine isnt wide except the turn around. Lol

Did you lay down a fabric as base for driveway? If not it may be decades before it fills in.. always used used motor oil as a binder on stone driveways ( my grandmother's was almost 1/3 mile long) when we sold the farm the contractor broke several teeth on. Excavator trying to dig it out..eventually gave up and the redesigned the development to put road over existing driveway.. had our own barrel and drip pipe spreader to spread it..hardens up like concrete...

Your tractor is marketed as a 40 hp.. and it's less mine is marketed as a 35 hp And its more. I find that funny.
-
You guys are loader happy I have loader and still plow with rear blade when i need to.. and what do you do with so much stone? If i get a load of stone every 5 years it's a lot and the drive way is almost 700ft long.. lol
-
And the fact that my tractor outweighs your base no cab model to your cabbed model 3900 lbs to your 3500lbs.. if I was same hst with cab over 4300lbs. That equals a lot more traction ...
-
Yes so my smaller hp tractor that is geared is doing the same.your larger hp hydro is.. compare same hp.tractors. and my 401 loader is over 2800lb at height up grade or not it's an option one I researched very throughly and for the price and what it can do the kioti wins hans down vers multiple manufacturers

2006 Kioti Dk 35se, with 401 loader And backhoe
-
Mine doesnt accept a mower or have a mid PTO but it does have draft control. Though I do have a backhoe for it. 2800 lbs its 401 loader. . And it's a 15.2 gpm pump

Blonde stripe on back and blonde ears. I have 10 photos of it checking out that chestnut tree..
-
Yes black is just a variation of the grey squirrel. I have many at my place ,I only allow someone to shoot one if they are gonna mount it.. plenty of normal grey to eat...

Perhaps a custom tattoo sleeve? Tattoos that mean something to you.. in a nice wrap on it would be unique and like having tattoo work done but no needles...

So direct.from.dec .... Greg, Awesome photos! The most common vernacular for this color phase of a black bear is “cinnamon bear”. Polymorphism is the biological term for this. In the west, a larger majority of the black bear population has the brown color phase. However, it might be more beneficial to be black when roaming the dark shadowy forests of the northeast. You can see the same phenomenon quite regularly in grey squirrels (black squirrels). Let me know if you have any more questions. What a magnificent animal. Looks like a good hunting spot (I can see your ladder stand in the background). Regards, Ryan D. Rockefeller Wildlife Biologist 1 – Big Game

40lbs to an acre for winter peas, mixed with 3lbs clover and turnip. ,just before expected rain I broadcast all on top of a rough prepared bed( non rolled or dragged) I lose some.clover and turnip deep but it allows peas to wash in and germ well. I do an acre of this mix and then an acre of turnip/brassica on opposite side of field. I also have 3 acres of field corn separating them with , Egyptian wheat.and sorghum to screen from edge.of the woods.

So here is my advice on such a small piece.. kill all the grass and plant clover.. instant food plot !! Stare.land is nice but the older I get the closer I stay to camp.may as well make it produce for you.. best thing is clover stays green doenst need to be mowed every week and if there are enough critters around may not.need to be mowed at all!!

I dont know if you call it a ghost.. if I mess up and lose game it is only.after I have exhausted all resources available to me.. that being said. 3 years ago on Halloween I race home from work after delivering grapes to Welch's in dunkirk all day ( the smell permeates everything when they are collecting the harvest) so I call my friends father ho told.me he just left " Dave's "stand and went to stand other side of the property.i said ok I'm going to daves stand then. I wasnt in stand for 10 min when I hear noise behind me almost.like a squirrel but shuffling. I look and it's a squirrel.. a few min later same.spot same.noise but squirrel had gone by me down the hill. I glance over my shoulder and it's a bear!! Coming right down logging road to my stand at my back above me.. I decided to wait for it to pass and take my shot.. I can hear it getting closer, soon its snuffing the ladder I climbed into the stand.. It finally walks out from under the platform and is 3 or 4 yards away i draw aim and release.. the bear stands up pulls the arrow out of the center of its chest and runs down the logging road... I can see the blood 2 ft wide straight.down the road from my stand and the arrow laying where it flung it just off the roadway.. i call my.friend father and tell him i just shot a bear.. he calls me several names for getting it out of the. Stand he just left... i tell him I'm gonna wait but it has to be dead the blood is eveywhere.. 15.min go by and i hear same shuffling behind me again ..i look and it's a bear!! I try to think how the bear i just shot got around me and is behind me again.. i then see it is smaller and is a different bear completely.. it walks off and after an hour after shoo8ng 1st bear I get out and track the bear I shot.. Well tracking really isnt the word for it I was just walking normal with 2 ft wide blood in front of me.. I go maybe 80 yards and suddenly to my left the bear get up and takes off down hill. I go back to the house and decide I'll wait a few more hours and call a couple of friends to help track. We track it find the bed it was in. Solid blood the size of a single bed.. then the down hill portion begins.. we track it 2 miles and it never stopped.i call in a dog the next day and we go another mile.. the handler tells me if I would of let it lay it would of died in its bed in a few hours. Bear have a lot more blood than deer and 1 lung would of suffocated but with adrenaline its other lung inflated and pushed all the blood internal out and it would live. Neighbor saw bear a week later crossing the county bridge holding up is left front leg.. . He said it.looked rough.. I still think why didnt I wait before i looked.. smh

Nuisance can be shot anytime , d map are in season tags , extra issued to. Control damage
-
If you have a nursery and prove damage you can get extra tags to give out during season ( forestry companies do this quite a bit for neighboring land owners) or you can enter nuisance program.. personally I think the neighbors should be given tags if they apply for one if next to a nuisance or d-map program property
-
1st deer taken ever year is a doe on antlerless only tag. Deer management areas are very large and areas have to many where other spots have few.. I wish you could apply for a management permit if you can show population is high, as a farmer you can get nuisance or d-map tags.. as a landowner you have no program to help manage your local population..
