    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    Absolutely no brainer - unfortunately a nice squared off 100ac of pure tillable in those large wide open tillable areas is going to be in the teens per acre more times than not. I know very well a guy who's a built a large, successful family company and buys up a lot of ground for production...

    Osage orange trees

    I'm going to try the hedge ball slurry this spring. Not only do they make great thickets, but fantastic tree stand trees if you can find one to get in. The "tunnel" under a mature hedgerow has yielded many close quarter buck encounters over the years.

    Pumpkin Fest

    Do they browse the plant during the summer when it's growing?

    Osage orange trees

    That makes sense. They certainly weren't planing bare roots from a nursery, so was wondering if that wasn't how they got established. Going to try it. Do they grow fairly quick? I can't recall ever seeing a young one to observe, just the 100yo ones that already exist

    Osage orange trees

    I believe the theme of this thread was eradicating hedge trees, but I would love to plant some. I have hedgerows in my blood and want to do my part in replacing a small percentage of the miles that bored farmers have removed. Has anyone done this? How did the old timers do them? bare...

    Will a droptine buck throw it again?

    There's a really good chance it comes back if he doesn't go through some big stress event this winter. Have been fortunate to personally witness it twice.

    How To Make Michigan Hunting Better

    The bottom half of the lower peninsula is very good habitat, especially the bottom 1/3. Of course I’m not referring to the UP.

    How To Make Michigan Hunting Better

    I don't even know what the article is about but will use this change to vent on Michigan: I went to school there, have some great friends there, and now through business get to meet a lot of landowners there. Predominantly southwest & west central part. I'm convinced it's culturally induced...

    Changed to Tactacam Reveal

    Have both cudde and Reveals. Reveals are the best bang for your buck out there. They have thought of every single feature it's impressive. Have 30+. That said, in tough service super rural areas, having a cudde system where only home cam needs service is the way to go. It's cheaper for a...

    Whitetail Buck Genetic Variations

    100% noticed genetic antler tendencies in. I'll notice it around certain towns vs others, so say maybe 5-8 square mile areas. One area they might disproportionately throw split brows, split G2s, drop tines once they get old, palmation, etc etc. Some take age to express. Seems like frame...

    Hand held seeder recommendation

    For hand spread - buy a Solo and never need to buy another the rest of your life. I used to burn through the bag spreaders as well and finally spent the money. So totally worth it

    Your Best Success with Man Made Scrapes in Plots

    White pine licking branch beats an oak branch every time in my experience. It doesn't matter if you don't have picky deer, but in some areas they absolutely are picky and white pine gets them to go when others don't.
