It's a timber management program I applied for. It is not in a timber reserve. There are other similar programs like reap and csp that are more detailed. I just did a simple timber management only. Forester came out walked property came up with a detailed plan breaking down the farm and what he...
Buddy I hunt and work with has a neighbor directly across from one of his farms that seems to always have a pile of dogs on their acreage. Rescues them or something. We are always working in the shed and around grain bins, etc. at one time they had pitbulls and couple other yard yappers that...
Stupid there are ignorant aholes like that ruining for it for everybody. If it was happening to me during season I would be freaking out and raising hell. Few years ago when the dog bill came out and there was such an uproar there were a few very active dog guy’s across the state contacting...
I've sat in hundreds of stands on a ton of farms for 30 plus years day dreaming over and over about what I would do to improve that particular farm to make it into a whitetail Mecca. From stand locations, plots, tree plantings, etc, etc and now I finally have that opportunity to put those dreams...
Well met the forester this morning and started marking trees for a 9 acre timber management deal in a heavy hickory timber. I know people have said cut cut cut but man I was shocked at the number of trees we marked. Really informative stuff working with him. Hopefully get started cutting in the...

I'll be really curious to see how many the forester marks next week. My goal is cover and regen on the oaks. would you guys that have done this before recommend hinging, girdling, dropping or all of the above and what percentage of each?
I have similar deal. Very high percentage of hickory, mostly young and not market ready. I'm doing a timber management cut next week. Forrester is coming to mark trees to cut. I have a fair amount of young oak anywhere from seedling to 10-15 foot so releasing them by removing hickory trees...

Anyone ever heard of Snow Goose Commanders outfitters in Kirksville, MO. Buddy bought a 3 day hunt on an auction and I am thinking of tagging along and bringing my boys.
Well I planned on winning the lottery this last Monday and that didn't happen so neither is my dream farm ideas.
But for the sake of dreaming. The obvious one 10x more land than I have now, huge pond or two, living quarters to eliminate the 45 min drive at 4 am, and tree spade thingy to...
My order of importance.

#2 Reducing to 1 buck. 2 for LO’s
#3. Eliminate party hunting (sharing of buck tags)
#4. Shorten season or seasons
#5. Fast acting quota changes in ehd areas & research funds to EHD...
I've not read up that by the so called experts but I have heard that same thing as more of an old wise tail for both coon and coyotes. Increase in litter size is one thing I've always heard.
I don't understand how the coyote population is increasing so drastically the last 5 or so years with the amount of people killing them with thermals. I know trapping is way down and the amount of people running them with dogs is down vs years past but there is no way there isn't more being...
