I would love to see this deer. I know the area it came from I am very happy for the hunter. Congrats on the kill of a lifetime. If someone has the pics and is willing to email them I will certainly keep it to myself. [email protected] Congrats again to Mr. Simmons!

Looks similar to what I experienced last year over by in Muscatine county along the cedar river. I never did find out what happened or if anyone claimed him. [/img]

Got a similar problem by me. Last year we killed or found dead about 6-7, 8 pt frames or other wise cull deer that had traits we don't like. Now it looks like some more desirable deer are hanging around. i think since there is a little less testosterone around that we have some other bucks...

Best pick since Teddy Roosevelt all though I have no idea what his political agendas were he did start the Boone and Crockett club though and was a huge big game hunter. Enough said. I like this gal a lot though because she will cut the pork barrel spending in washington and between her and...

I had them for about a month. After that I got rid of them. They just don't last as long as some gold tip's. They are much easier to crimp and bend then carbon's. I do believe they would put a hurtin on a deer though. The design I think would add some kinetic energy for sure. I just can't...

Got it split w/ someone very close. Thanks, TT

I wanted to know if anyone on here wants to try to split a bag of alfalfa with me. I am looking to get a 50 lb bag of grazer alfalfa from welters. I am planting just over an acre and I just don't have any need for the rest. The bag costs 160.00 + shipping so it's definitely worth splitting...

Re: Alfalfa - new seeding If I plant alfalfa late summer this year how much growth can I expect? The purpose of this plot is to try to give them some green into december and alfalfa in my experience will usually provide feed till mid december. I already have brassicas on the order list and...

I know a guy that borders a 600 acre state hunting area. He owns about 200-300 acres. This guy kills giants every year! He says basically what happens is the smart ones just learn to stay on his ground or as soon as the real pressure starts on the state ground the old boys know how to get to...

I would like to cut it but it again but it is in CRP. I will have to wait until the nesting season is over. I will spray this coming weekend or the next. I think if the clover plot is built into your conservation plan that you can mow when you want to.

Muddy, In your scenario you say you have sheds and pics of the 9 yr old through the years. What was his score in his prime? If you have huge sheds for those years in his prime then I would definately shoot the older one if i recognized him. That 4.5 170" would get a hard pass but like has...

Alot of times it will depend on how big a card I am using and how often I will check it. If you are going to check it once a week that that setting should be fine. I personally run mine on mineral licks this time of year at a single pic 5 minute delay. I will sometimes set it to a double pic...

I see... beans it is!

These rains have really postponed me trying to plant my corn plot and because of that i am worried that it will be too late to get it in. I was told by a farmer that june 14th is the cut off date for corn but mine is a food plot and I'm not looking to produce 140 bushel corn either. So for a...

Re: Alfalfa - new seeding I am thinking of planting some alfalfa after reading this thread. My question is since alfalfa grows so much faster than clover how often would i have to mow it for a food plot? There will be no baling.

I am looking to get a rotary tiller but i am not sure which one to get. Is one better than another for these things? I would like to get a 60" + Tiller. Anyone know where i could pick one up cheap?

Dbl, You are the king of food plots! That is a ton of excellent information there that should help tremendously. Also i am planning on planting some brassicas, oats and rye this late summer early fall in different plots. Can i still plant some of these nitrogen producing plants like next...

Now i know corn and beans can be flipped around every year to help replace the nitrogen but how about other food plots. What other food plots could I flip year to year to help keep some nitrogen in the ground and more money in my pocket?
