Looks like frost damage. Also notice the flea beetle damage too. Often the frost "sweetens" the foliage and attracts the beetles.

Nice one Snail!!

Cool. Never saw this thread before. Named lots, killed a few. My son is really good at naming bucks. The Big Guy Chernobyl Goofy G2 Twin Towers Mahogany The Beast Conan Patch Peacemaker Orion Tex Rio Gobi Mozart Lefty The Samurai Daggers Blade TNT (tall non-typ) Neo Ohio Spazz The Stud...

With the price of protein right now, that makes sense.

Yep, old. Grey face, big feet. Likely got pushed out of his domain by a buck in it's prime.

Call me crazy, but passing on a deer can be as big of a rush as killing it. I'm talking actually having it in a killable situation and watching him walk away. If you are fortunate enough to get him in a year or two, it certainly makes the achievement sweeter. A 170s at 5 1/2 could go either way...

You don't need two or three tags to kill a bully buck. You only need one. Better genetic bucks live to breed. If you have two bully bucks, you kill the second one next year ... or find a friend.

Bromoxynil is the only broadleaf you can use in alfalfa and only in the first trifoliate stage (as far as I know).

They root very easily. I think they naturally have that rooting hormone. Poplar and willow root easily too.

I feel kinda lucky. Our electricity provider gives away free seedlings as a way to offset their environmental impact. I've planted over 500 red osier dogwood on our property. Once you get some established, taking cuttings and shoving them in the ground in spring is a great way to multiply them.

Just make sure you get paid for the dirt ... the most expensive thing in Iowa! ;)

Nah, he's a prick just like Trudeau Sr. was.

Trudeau isn't MY leader ... that fool has just about ruined Canada. And ya, those lockdowns were criminal if you ask me.

He wants to implement 25 percent tariffs on all Canadian imports. Trade with Canada is around 400+ billion/yr, both ways. Can't imagine what that would do to costs. Says he's concerned about drugs and illegal immigrants crossing from Canada into the US and these tariffs will help stop that ...
