So there's been quite a bit of discussion in a couple of the threads about problems with high grading where young bucks with great potential dont get to reach their potential. Similarly quite a bit of discussion about the need to remove inferior genetics as well. My question is at what age of...

I hunted both saturday and Sunday evenings and saw a lot of deer both sits. Both times got within 50 yards of a target buck but didn't quite get close enough. Passed a buck yesterday at 8 yards that I'm still not sure if I did the right thing. Bucks here are definitely on the move. Hopefully i...

The last couple days I have seen quite a few bucks cruising in the open and quite a few bucks with does locked down clear out in the open. Seen a couple breeding sessions as well.

Different kind of stand today. Currently a good buck and a doe in the field with me. Hopefully they will bed down somewhere i can make a move on him.

Exactly. We had a neighbor try to make us build a fence so he could run sheep in a woodlot where there wasn't much grass anyways. We let that neighbor use a driveway of ours for semis to access his hog building. Told him if we had to build fence we were going to keep on building clear up the...

Whatever the lease says, but normally they are the same split as the rest of the revenue in a crop share. Typically cash rent the tenant gets the payment.

One option for you if you think you are leaving money on the table is a crop share arrangement. In good years you will get more but might get less in bad years. The old time arrangement was a 50/50 arrangement. The renter provides all of the labor and equipment and pays for half of the...

Going to depend a lot on what equipment you have and what you will need to have hired done. We farm about 2000 acres. The only equipment we dont have is fertilizer application equipment. I will have to do cash flow statements before the end of the year for my bank operating note. I could pm you...

First sit of the year. Finished up harvest on Friday night. Now I get to chase some of these bucks I saw from the semi seat.

Are you planning to tube or cage them or just let them be?

You might still be able to order some from whitewater native seeds. I have some on order from them but they haven't showed up yet.

Hard to tell. Almost look like pigs?

I know it wasn't like that before. My wife was a lifeguard and taught swim lessons there when she was in high school over 2 decades ago. This country gets more strange with every passing day.

Just got a picture of a buck today in the middle of shedding today. Pretty neat picture really.

Im going to collect a bunch anyways. Just let me know if you want some.

Im sure i can collect you some of these if you want some. I don't need any burr oak acorns, got loads of em.

Definitely going to collect some of the acorns and plant them. It's a nice tree. Quick Google search says grow fairly quick for an oak with earlier acorn production. Thanks for the help.

I got a couple pictures of the bark today. It's definitely not as rough as the regular burr oaks near it.

I will get an up close picture of the bark tomorrow. Either way I will probably collect some of the acorns to get some more going in the rest of the property.

That's what mine said too, but I've never seen burr oak acorns without the fuzzy cap. None of the acorns on this tree have the fuzzy cap and it has a lot of them.
