Congrats

Nice, I might be looking for same drill this fall…

What does the cost per acre work out to be?

Congrats to Dakota!

Just finished up doing a lot of girdling & cutting smaller trees (1-3” dia.) for one of my 2025 projects. Thought I’d mention this saw since I use it a lot also & it’s quite a bit more affordable than my Stihl professionals… Echo CS-271t, 27cc @ 6.6 pounds, runs great with a sharp 12” blade.

Congrats!

Congrats to Luke!

Portions of our farm were mulched for autumn olive and the regrowth was not sprayed. Autumn olive will come back with a vengeance. Big mistake.

Interesting observation regarding the declining insect population. I remember as a child not going barefoot in the yard for fear of getting stung by honey bees and catching grass hoppers by the hundreds in a single day. I’m hoping to get a pollinator plot established this year to try to do my part.

I have degenerative disc disease. A pound or two matters…

Stihl 201 T-CM for smaller stuff & Stihl 261 C-M for medium stuff… They are both awesome saws!!! I’ll edit to add if you’re looking for a lightweight saw, the 201 is a much better choice. I love the top handle. It’s very lightweight, it cuts like an animal and you’d swear it’s a bigger saw .

Last year, after investing hundreds of hours of labor and thousands of dollars of my own money in our family farm, I elected to shoot ZERO deer. Limiting the harvest has been my #1 objective for 3 years. I can tell you that I am very unpopular for making that decision and there are enough people...

I can relate to that article. Deer numbers way down, a bow hunter in every tree in November, rifles in shotgun, EHD, the good ole days seem to be in the rear view mirror…& sadly it doesn’t seem that long ago seeing multiple gross B&Cs in a single year was VERY common..,

Not surprising at all given the county it happened in.

My (late) father hated deer with a BURNING passion & did everything possible to eliminate them and keep them off the farm. We were pretty opposite to be honest. I would give up managing the farm to have a single day with him again. Don’t sweat the small things, someday all you will have is memories…

Yep, I don’t get the huge fuss over a few folks using SMLs when the orange armies are surrounding timbers with ARs…seems like apples and oranges regarding impact…

My first thought is 400 Legend. I like lever guns and see the potential of the 360 Buckhammer over the 350 Legend. My daughter’s first deer & with a 350 Legend AR and she even built the handloads. No blood, zero, perfect shot & honestly thought she lost it for about 20 very anxious minutes.

My experience too & what I don’t like.

That is crazy!

Congrats to your father! Nice buck.
