    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    In the ideal world, we raise the population and call it good. That for the most part would solve alot of our problems. If that's not a possibility, then you start looking at one buck or all the cumulative issues like Cell cams. EHD is a huge problem that hopefully gets minimized with time.

    Debate: One Big Plot OR Screening to break plot up into Smaller segments

    I like smaller plots spread out to lessen the pressure on the deer and to keep the bucks moving during the season. All have some screening or that's the goal. An acre plot would be considered a large plot for me and if I thought it would benefit me to break it up with screening I would. The...

    Debate: One Big Plot OR Screening to break plot up into Smaller segments

    That's a nice plot Bassattackr. Are you dropping the edge trees into the switch or back into the timber? I ask because I'm planning on doing something similar.

    Alfalfa foodplot

    Skip...are you saying to fertilize, lime and disc right now? pH of 5.7 with a buffer of 6.6. VL on P and low on K. Probably not even a possibility in the spring, fall might even be a stretch. I would definitely get a jump on it right now if I can and do another sample in the fall. I'd guess a...

    Alfalfa foodplot

    I'm planning on putting an alfalfa plot in this spring. Soil sample on its way and silt loam and loam soils. I killed it twice and plan on spraying again before planting. I can't remember there ever being crop in this area in over 20 years. I'm sure I'll need to add lime and I'm planning on...

    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    If we could ever get beyond the EHD hump, most of the population issue would, to some degree, resolve itself. It would also help with the mature buck situation. A temporary law with an end date aimed at population recovery might be an easier sell than a permanent change. A two year one buck...

    Giant Deer of Iowa are rapidly becoming a past memory

    Agreed. I seriously doubt you can kill your way to better genetics. You can remove an aggressive buck and you can kill a buck with lesser traits that is a heavy browsing corn eating empty space, both a positive for the surviving deer, but you can't control the genetics. JMO

    Silver and gold - physical, or mining stocks?

    Sounds like you need to get back to the basics. You don't need an alternate investment, you just need a well diversified plan based on your age. Keep it simple and dollar cost average. Don't let another decade pass you by and don't buy gold at $4000. THIS^^^

    Got to get this out There

    As long as you are with him, he'll be ok. Use it as a teaching moment. I never let my kids do anything by themselves and that was 20 years ago...not even church camps. One knuckle head can mentally screw up your kid for life. They don't have to look the part either, one of the normal looking...

    Charlie Kirk Assassination

    They ARE terrorist that hate this country. If they were to get a foothold in this country, it will be vastly different than from today.

    Morton buildings vs. all others

    I walked into a 30-40 year old Morton building of a friend of mine a while back, a few holes punched through with forks and a few dents with areas of surface rust...definitely used. I got inside to very solid structure, doors thick and heavy, sealed as if new. His other buildings that were newer...

    Burn down timing

    For me, it would be decided by how large your area of switch is and how dirty it is. I kinda like mine patchy and not perfectly thick anyways.

    Burn down timing

    When is the best time to do the final chemical burn for next year's switch planting? I'm also planning on doing one prior to planting in the spring. This is mostly pasture grasses now with one burn in. Thanks in advance!

    Cattails

    Is there a herbicide better than Gly for this? There are no fish involved but the deer frequent it regularly.

    They do offer a 15 year re-enroll. Is that a better way to go?
