    Since I cant rely on this shop, Who do you guys reccomend?

    I'm from Cedar Rapids area and have also had issues with what was supposed to be a good shop (put my cams on upside down on first trip for a limb replacement, then the string they put on it stretched badly and didn't last 3 months before the servings (all of them) started separating after taking...

    Going to start food plots and habitat improvements need ideas

    Mulberry will sprout from fully cut logs laying on the ground, and they will grow up, on, and around (seriously, like snake status) your desirable trees and kill them. I personally hate mulberry and kill them with a vengeance. Make sure you check the leaves to make sure you are taking out the...

    Going to start food plots and habitat improvements need ideas

    If you are comfortable with a chainsaw and doing things against the safety manual you can do a T-cut on your hinge tree. Do a vertical plunge cut perpendicular to the direction you want the tree to fall about 1/3 the way back from the fall side of the trunk, and then cut the back side (2/3) of...

    Alternative to Honeysuckle

    Jbohn, I have about 20 of the redosier planted around in various places, they have done great where they get lots of sun and water, where it's drier and with partial shade they are maybe 1/6 the size. They are alive, but not nearly the growth as in sun. The property line I'm looking to do...

    Alternative to Honeysuckle

    That was an option I had not considered, and not hat you mention I know we have a hawthorn growing in some deep shade in a grove of walnuts. I'll have to go see if I can find some fruit still on it to bury where I want my hedge.

    Alternative to Honeysuckle

    Currently too shady for plum, I tried a few starts from the DNR. My serviceberry looks to be ok. I'm sure opening up the crown of the timberstand will be exceeding helpful. I think I'll be needing to sell some maple firewood next fall so if anybody needs a truck load.... The deer really like...

    Alternative to Honeysuckle

    First things first; I hate honeysuckle. I have been waging campaign of annihilation against the stuff. However, I've come to the realization I only own a very small piece of Iowa, and I'm not going to single-handedly rid Linn County of the stuff. This leaves me at a crossroads. I have a...

    450 BM

    That is a sweet rig! I'm thinking that next year I might put a Ruger 450BM AR together for the wife to replace her 20ga 870 she's been shooting since she was a teenager. Let us know how that 450BM works out. What factory load are you going to run? What is recoil like with vs without the can?

    The big fella I saw Sunday night was nose to the ground and on a mission. I'm looking forward to the next weekend!

    Hunting on "micro-parcels"

    I saw a brute at 27 yrds this weekend! He had places to go and people to see as he didn't stop for any length of time. I hope my camera picked him up so I can see if he was as big as he looked from my stand while I was frantically trying to get my release hooked up. Would have been crazy to...

    Hunting on "micro-parcels"

    We have about 4.5 acres, which we live on, and hunt on. I have started doing some TSI work, we're overgrown with maple and honeysuckle, so I've been doing a lot of cutting, treating, burning, and hinge cutting to get the light and native browse level up while making way for some of our oaks...

    Trail cam movement updates... **all bucks dead or living in a cave!!! Anyone else??

    Tons of hard mast on the ground this year, but out fruit didn't do much. Is that a trend people have noticed? Hard vs soft mass production in a given year runs in inverse proportions? We finally had a decent 10 point show up (how I think I remember from last year) late Saturday night. Other...

    Sedge?

    depends on what sedge it is. Nut sedge is probably what it is because it likes wet. It's it is very vivid bright green it's probably nut sedge. If you what that plot of turkey you might let it go. Lost of companies sell nut sedge seed under it's other name, chufa, which turkey's are supposed...
