sounds good, thanks dbltree

- I have some oak trees that are about half way to just getting to the top of the tubes. I’ve cleaned out the leaves from last fall already, but for next time… - Should I prune off some of the lower branches, so they do not compete with the terminal lead, while they are still in the tube? -...

- It looks like those ties on the tubes from Timber Management can be loosened after they are tightened on? That makes it a lot faster to clean out the old leaves versus cutting off a tie and putting a new one on, if it can’t be loosened. I have not been able to find those type of ties in the...

Maple versus Iron Wood I've seen similiar reports to the one below, with Hard Maple having timber value that is considerably more than some Oak and Soft Maple (see below). http://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/lands_forests_pdf/spr2011winter.pdf Some Maple is actually considered preferred browse...

hinging cutting response Lcarabine "I have a few areas of thick pine 6-18 inch(no browse or tops down) In these pine areas is it a good idea to drop a few unmarketable pines for cover for the time being and TSI the pine stands in the future when we have the time." The only time I've girdled...

I was looking over some of the pictures from late last winter, looks like the snow is a little later this year… Are deer using the Milo much yet this winter? Would the WGF Sorghum still get some nice seed heads if it was planted by late August? Would it work well with rye? Next fall I was...

Note for some folks that are new to deer food plots or looking for new ideas to improve your deer plot success. - I agree 100% with you dbltree on including Ground Hog Forage Radish. The first year I used them, just 2years ago, I was blown away at how much the deer went after them, even before...

Thanks dbltree for clarifying the rotation on the Brassicas. You really have fine-tuned this mixture over the years. We all benefit from your unselfishness to share your wisdom and the time that it takes as well.

just want to understand the rye mix and brassica rotation for a few small deer plots that I'm planning for next year: If I rotate that mix over 2 years, then for the 3rd year, do I need to put in something else in the entire area besides any type of brassica to avoid the desease potential or...

Sorry for this loss for you and the rest of your family Paul, I pray that some peace can be found, as there is no understanding of this.

For some of the browse stuff I mentioned earlier, the link below was useful. This research paper is TMI for sure, but some of the appendexes are easy enough to make sense of. https://files.me.com/ecologicalsolutions/llmg2j

- Thanks dbltree for the feedback the oak seedlings. - I noticed last week that Idaho St Unv nursery had their oak hybrid seedlings available for this fall or next spring, for anyone who’s considering that option. Last year by the time I got around to it they were already sold...
