I have a few fields I'd like to break up and diversify so that I'm not heavy in one aspect or crop, i.e. alfalfa. So here's one of the fields I'd like to hit the reset button on. Its roughly ten acres of alfalfa with road frontage on the east and right of way on the south. Our group is...

If all you had was a 60-100 hp tractor and someone handed you $5k for equipment, what would make your shopping list? Tiller, drill, all-in-one plotmaster, etc...?

After hard at it for a decade and one blown opportunity a few years back, I finally harvested my first buck. When I first started hunting, I was nineteen, cramming books in college, trying to figure out what I wanted to do with a biology degree. About the same time I found my focus...

What kind of activity can I expect out of the turkeys the last season in Northern IL? I will be hunting lightly used public land that sees 1 or 2 archery hunters in the spring. Will calling and decoys still be effective that late or would I be better off sitting on their late morning clover...

Any interest? I have an array of hand picked prairie and woodland forbs.

A bit early but truly an amazing Christmas blessing. Eliza "Ellie" Rose Oliver was born Saturday morning after a much shorter labor the second time around for my wife, thank God! She was 6 lbs 9 oz and 19 inches, more than two lbs smaller than her brother. Her appetite is stellar and is...

I learned a couple of things about myself today. One - I am way to polite....two - I hate turkeys. Now the story. On the way out of the park today, a troop of turkeys came running towards many making a huge fuss, louder than all hell, breaking branches, cackling, you name it. They were one...

This guy started great but didn't finish very well. He won't make the 135 min. I have to adhere to but I'm on the fence on his age - 4.5/5.5. Last January he ducked my arrow and I hit high in the shoulder. He has lost mass and a 6-8in tine this year. What's your opinion on this deer? Is he...

I set the camera up this week across the field that was pictured in my last set. The deer cross the field and shoot through an opening in a six foot chain link fence so its a great funnel get some pictures but its right on top of a public bikepath with plenty of traffic to it was only out for a...

The first buck ducked my arrow last year and stuck in his shoulder blade. His name is now my last....following the Bill Winke method of missed shots on bucks. When I pulled the cam yesterday at 11am, this buck either crossed the field or was bedded in it and popped up at forty yards trying to...

This week Gov. Quinn swept a huge sum for the Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development (OSLAD) program and the Natural Areas Acquisition Fund (NAAF), to the tune of $40 million or some other astronomical number. I know everyone likes to chirp about how bad the IL DNR is for the taxpayers...

So I seeded two acres yesterday morning pretty heavily with ladino, chicory, alice white and kopu II. The next 24 hrs are supposed to be pretty wet and rainy. Whats my outlook? Did I just blow a few hours and a handful of money?

I have three cases (200/cs) of 4"x60" Ben Meadows mesh seedling protectors I do not need. I got way in over my head last spring and have other priorities so these need to go. Asking for $150 per unopened case, pickup preferred but will travel an hours time for delivery. Also have 4 bundles...
