    Fencing Deer Movement

    I can't speak to his place - but have been able to read through a few plans done for different guys in my area.

    Late winter food

    Is browse on the pumpkin plant itself in the summer ever an issue?

    Farm Contract Recommendations

    I don't know how you care to implement it, but I've recently ran into fixing broken field tiles being point of tension for one of my fields. I just went and did it myself before it got out of control, but a couple years of neglecting broken ones can really create a mess of your place.

    Fencing Deer Movement

    If the general public could see plans from the higgins crew, it'd be shocking. Surprised they haven't started their own fencing supply company by now.

    Who is shed hunting?!

    Varies across the neighborhoods, but I'm seeing nearly 2/3 shed out already it seems! Still too early to go look for me. Hate to bump them out while times are tough

    Fencing Deer Movement

    40 yards max, and no there was never any major trail or movement through there, just a few stragglers that would get down wind at the end of the night. They come from the timber to the SW/S, feed through naturally, and on to the wide open cut fields after dark. I am simply just wanting to...

    Fencing Deer Movement

    Respect your stance and tend to agree, just not really applicable in this case. I'm trying get them to stay away from me! I do like your draining the pond analogy though!

    Fencing Deer Movement

    First timer here: This past spring '24 I encountered a situation where to discourage deer getting downwind of a permanent field blind, I ran a 75 yd strip of fencing across a section of my open field. Used 6ft T posts and woven wire fence. The top was around 5.5ft high, and left a ~10in gap...

    Cedar bedding along access routes

    Sounds like you need to come up with a different way to access, or abandon the plot/stand all together. Not sure on your farm size/layout, but eradicating their choice bedding seems counterproductive. Typically much easier to move the food than move the bedding.

    Osage orange trees

    Cut the rest of the stuff like locust & honeysuckle. Don't cut or hinge the hedge/Osage trees. They're old, gnarly, and make for some of the best big buck thickets in the midwest. Kill the Honeysuckle & locust, and replace them with single oaks and cedars. That mixed with your hedge trees...

    The power of browse

    Interesting seeing the fandom of box elder. Where I grew up they were pretty much the only "tree" besides mulberry and hedge that grows along ditches and in little thickets. Always considered them junk before knowing what they were even called. That said, have always noticed that they re...

    Swamp Chestnut Oak

    Multi Flora Removal

    Whatd you spray it with last year for that 5ac and how was your kill? I did a bunch in April and it all re sprouted LOL Refuse to do any woods work this time of year with all of the deer herded on my property

    Best $30ish trail camera

    I've noticed this with my reconyx cell too. It also seems like the only cell cam that the deer visibly investigate/get skiddish around. Anyone else notice? I dont know why. I have three different brand cell cams on a popular field as a sloppy experiment, and almost every time I sit it I see...

    Drones and future management…..

    Drones will do nothing but bad things for the future of deer hunting. They are incredible for recovering deer, but will inevitably get in the wrong hands and be abused as they become more affordable and common. Only way to limit to legit drone businesses is to have steep annual permit fees...

    Cedars vs pine vs spruce

    There's a short thread somewhere on here, but you can easily transplant 1-3ft red cedars in the spring. They take abuse and thrive
