    The cedar tree project with a tree shear w/grapple

    We cleared about 20 acres of cedars some time ago. 20-25 year old overgrown fields. Grandpa bought an old 80 horse Gehl, stump bucket, and built a tree puller. The tree puller worked well for a good portion of the project but the bigger cedars and anything that had a tap root took more than just...

    Pumpkins

    I’m also wanting to grow a pumpkin patch plot. Will be following this. Very little plot experience here but what if you planted clover or turnips in the spring to help with weed control. Bring in a garden tiller come June, make your mounds plant pumpkins. Then come July/August over seed the...

    Land prices / insane!!!

    Painfully upsetting to say the least. It has always been a goal of mine to own a farm. While I got a decent chunk of change for signing, a minor league salary was peanuts at the time. Cash flow was none existent. Timing is everything. At the end of 2018, ball gave me the boot so I began...

    First sit of the year buck!

    Between work, college, and whatever project my wife throws at me, priorities have limited hunting the past couple of years. Over the past week, I had cam pics of a big buck frequenting one of my favorite spots. A shallow timbered ditch in between two cedar thickets, no wider than 40-50 yards...

    Oak tree identification

    Can anyone give me their best guess on what type of oak each of these leaves came from? I realize I should have taken pictures of the bark and acorns for better analysis but, hoping this picture will do. South central Iowa, all three trees are around the same height (20ft) and are all within 30...

    Has iowa got BETTER or WORSE in last 10 years?

    Resident, he’s a really nice guy. The observation I was trying to make is that for years that ground was virtually untouched until hunting season with minimal pressure as there was only a couple of us that hunted it. Big timber and over grown pastures. Then he buys the properties,adds trails...

    Has iowa got BETTER or WORSE in last 10 years?

    Shoot, pressure and competition has been more prevalent in the past 5 years than before. One particular farm comes to mind. Family owned a 300ish piece but we had access to 700-800 give or take. Up until a couple years ago there were one maybe two other bow hunters over the whole area and one...

    Land prices / insane!!!

    8.6% inflation rate as of late May, hasn’t been that high since 1981! Powell saying the Feds will do anything to slow it down. I wasn’t around for the 80’s and wasn’t old enough to understand 2008 but something has to give here. Sky high prices and rates to boot. We are coming off of the lowest...

    2019 Season

    Congrats to everyone that was able to get it done this season. Figured I share my harvest. Early November I did my first ever hang n hunt. Chose to sit on a big oak ridge in between two steep ditches. About 45 minutes before dark I gave the horns a rattle and this guy came crashing down the...

    My 2017 Season

    Blessed to say that I had a great deer season. One for the books to be in fact, at least for me [emoji39] Bow buck: Was the morning of October 26th. At first shooting light I had this buck at 20 yards in the timber, pulled back on him but couldn’t find my peep sight cause it was pretty dark...

    Are WRP properties good investments?

    What do you guys know about Wetland Reserve Programs? I have read and researched about them but I can't seem to find specific numbers for how much they pay with certain contracts.
