Anyone have thoughts on mulberry trees? I was always under the impression that people considered these undesirable, and made it a point to remove them. They are growing on me, and I've been leaving them on my place if they aren't bothering anything. They put out a ton of fruit that the deer...

7. I'm in, thought about doing it the last couple years, and didn't.

Sunflowers are looking good this year. They are just starting to flower.

Congrats on the retirement and relocation. I have a few family members that have/are 20+ years in the military. Not enough people truly understand or appreciate the dedication and sacrifice that requires. Thank you, sir. I hope you have many successful years on your new property, looks like it's...

True that ditch to ditch is considered the traveled portion. False you can't park on it. There is court precedent establishing that if there is so many feet to get around a parked vehicle it is not parked illegally. Sorry, I don't remember the number of feet, but I've lost in court on this...

Are you parking on a highway or gravel? If it's a highway just get off the traveled portion. The biggest issue you'll have is a sticker on the window with a 24 hr notice from law enforcement to move. If it's a gravel as long as there's room to get around you there shouldn't be an issue, but...

Like most large problems there's more than 1 cause and answer, but the social programs (Govt handouts) are a pretty big issue. I've been a Deputy with a Sheriff's office for 13 years now, and my wife works on the administrative side in a medical facility. It really is disgusting the number of...

What are you trying to do? fish, walk up/down the creek, or something else? The ditches on either side of the road and under the bride are public right of way. Non meandering essentially means the land under the water is private. the meandering vs non is more complicated than that, but that's...

That explains why everyone on here talks about the deals he as down there, The store is just a hobby since he's living off the iowawhitetail royalties:D

Sweet hats. Is the the buck that is the logo for Iowa Whitetail the same buck that is in the ad banner for Buck Hollow Sports? If it is is there a back story? No idea why I just noticed that after looking at this site for years.

Same, it's amazing how long of a tap root a foot tall oak has. I've gotten some to take after transplanting, but they seem to struggle a lot more than the ones I'm able to just leave and fence.

I have access to a newer mid 20hp Kubota, and own a late 60's JD2020 which is a 40-50hp tractor. The Kubota is a lot easier to use being smaller, an automatic transmission, and AWD, but It feels like I'm beating the piss out if just mowing and tilling with it. I have 22 acres of hills, and a...

Wow, $2100 per tire. I haven't done any looking, yet, but I'm going to need some new tires before too long. I'll be holding off as long as possible. The Mrs. won't be too impressed if I dump much more $$ into the tractor this year just to feed some deer.

I just started a project like this, but more to drive over than for deer. I opted to use a 24 Inch diameter culvert that is 10 feet long and broken concrete as fill, and now I'm covering it all with dirt, This is at the emergency outlet for my pond in case the regular outlet gets plugged so...

Are you guys not concerned with these being a breeding ground for EHD?

We did a 1/4 acre of sunflowers last year. We used multiple varieties totaling about a pound of seed. The deer ate the seedlings for sure, but by the time the heads matured they were above reach. They were in them a lot during late season and after. The fox tail came in thick underneath the...

Scary deal. Glad to hear you're on the road to recovery. I find myself using ladder stands more and more as the years go on. I've never experienced a fall, but I've put myself in some stupid positions over the years messing around with hang ons and sticks. I've always worn a harness in the...

We decided to get the hide tanned since it was her 1st, and it was something I've never done with one before. It turned out great, and I'm glad we did it. She has it hanging in her bedroom. .

I don't have many, but I'll be cutting mine for firewood. It's amazing how quick the borer took them. 2020 they looked completely fine. I even had a stand in one. Spring of 2021 they didn't leaf out and the wood peckers have been tearing them up.

My house only sits on a few thousand sq. ft. of my property. The rest I have to walk to or fire up the side x side, but I'm guessing that's not what you meant by your question. ;)
