In early March I closed on what I'm considering a "forever farm". Ive bought and sold some land to get to this point, but I think this is the one... Only time will tell. It's 257 acres in Warren county. It was previously owned by a timber company that has abused it beyond belief. I feel kinda...
Stop! Hire a consulting forester. Talk to him about your objectives. Explain that wildlife habitat is important and that you also want to improve the future of the woods meaning a true selective harvest. Any logger that claims he's doing a "select" cut is lying. He's "selecting" the trees that...
You just can't help yourself can you? For the life of me I don't even remember what started this feud... But glad you're enjoying yourself. Seems like I go years without checking in here and one of the first things I read each time I do visit is you trash talking me... Real mature. I really hope...
Dang, ya'll are hard on a fella! Love ya'll too! And fwiw, those post cards aren't trying to get you to sell your farm, but letting you know I'm here if you ever want to, if not, they make decent fire starters. @KYBOY, I'm doing great. Just don't get to stop in here much.
Salt isn't like crack, they aren't addicted to it, it's a necessary element in their diet. Minerals "MAY" benefit antler growth, BUT only if your deer are nutritionally deficient (says so right there in the article you posted). People are convinced that sprinkling magic dust on the ground will...
If you're putting out mineral or TR for any reason other than attracting deer then you're wasting your money. No one has any evidence that feeding any mineral to wild free ranging deer impacts antler growth. All they have is random uncontrolled observation at best or more likely just plain and...
I always do it in the winter months after the season. A couple of reasons, the buds at the ends of the limbs are packed with energy and the deer hammer them right away. Secondly, it’s not a million degrees and I can avoid the swamp @$$.
That’s cool! I think all those boys turned out pretty good! I always worried about what would happen to them. I would occasionally see them around BG and they were always excited to see me.
Well, basically the story starts with a case of mistaken identity. I started getting his pics about 2 weeks before the season and almost immediately recognized the shape of his rack as a deer I had pics of for 3 years prior. I set my sights on him and him alone. The week leading up to opening...
Heck of a buck. I was fortunate enough to see him and put my hands on him shortly after he killed it. Crazy story too. Killed him in an open bean field sitting in a fence line on the ground, no blind. They had seen him multiple times just stand up out of the beans in the evening to feed. Him and...
