Bump for the predator hunters out there

I'd take the ones from the Ames nursery, I don't think you'll notice a difference in 5 years I've also dug up and replanted hundreds of cedars, works great. Keep roots moist was key for survival for me. I've even done some 6' ones by hand when I needed a screen

Like new, the turret on top was cool for dialing yardages. $150 I’ll ship it to ya Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For what it is worth Drew, I'm throwing seed down this weekend Drew. Our forecast looks similar... let's just pray we catch some surprise showers!

This shingle oak I was given when it was 5-6’ tall. It’s taken off this year, I believe it’s been in the ground three years now. I didn’t measure the growth but it’s nearing 24” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree - get some other stuff in there vs just the natural regrowth. Chinkapin oaks have done well for us as well as the above mentioned. Maybe some fruit trees or chestnuts as well. Native grasses are good but on an area like that I'd go with cedars and mixed hardwoods for cover all year...

That is crazy! I forget, this one is planted in your yard right? Not in a rootmaker?

Monster crappie there!! Snagged some nice bluegills last week here Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Crazy!! I've got some sawtooth acorns I put in rootmakers cells last week - late to the game but hoping to get them in the ground this fall yet.

Awesome pics, we have been doing more fishing lately as well. Helps when the boy is getting to the age he can enjoy it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm 0-2 so far, not counting the one dried up gray my wife found. It's been probably 4 years since we've found enough to even bother cooking up. Used to find tons of them each spring

Gonna have pears this year on this one again! The other two varieties, wish I could recall what they were, aren’t going to put blossoms on this year again... weird? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Most winters are pretty mild - def will get ice on the pond but not always over 12". We've got all the regular farm equipment. I'm starting to lean towards a floating dock, even making one myself (go figure. lol) just because you can move the dock around if you want. I'd def want a hand rail...

My parents put a small 2 acre pond on their place a few years ago, never stocked it other than one five gallon bucket with 2 doz small crappie and bluegills ~7 yrs ago. Fished it for the first time yesterday and caught a small bullhead and bluegill, our boy had a blast. Looking to get some...

Blossoms are coming back a bit. Some are fried on this pear Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Blossoms may be ok... maybe... The unprotected crab apple and pear don’t look so hot Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Covered our peach trees, here’s to hoping the blossoms didn’t die! Tried to half cover the Keifer pear, didn’t bother with the crab apples since the pink crisp and honey crisp weren’t blossomed yet Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Always a problem - gotta check em as often during the years as possible. Ideally a guy would be able to check them at least monthly... what I've done is check em maybe once a year unfortunately. I've loss a few trees to mice but what do you do. Funny side stories - often I'll find tubes...

I do not normally, when I snapped the above pics I was in the process of removing the original single post and putting two post and support rope on each tree. I normally don’t do this but with the ones in my yard I baby more. I get a lot of wind in my yard and the big canopy on these trees was...

If I were to use conduit I’d consider putting the conduit inside the tube, that takes the stress off the zip tie or tube itself for when the tree gets bigger. Always seems zip ties are breaking or being torn away from tubes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
