    This is exactly why you guys need to fight like hell to keep crossbows out of archery. *Minnesota

    EHD

    That doesn’t sound good for some of you. I don’t know what’s worse, EHD or CWD? DNR killed 57 deer on neighboring property and 108 within 1.5 miles of my dads. Last January-April. I know how some of you feel about slim pickings, not wanting to shoot a doe and having no mature bucks to target...

    My long winded Draft Letter to Legislature on Deer Regs....

    I think that’s pretty good Skip. I’m a non resident. I really hope they don’t change anything. MN is a total disaster. Endless seasons and now they are sharpshooting on 2 sides of me over corn piles until April. I can’t wait to get back to Iowa in 4 years. I’d sign a petition if you have one...

    When will the Bowmars get what they deserve?

    I think some of each. We have harvested 3 bucks that tested positive for cwd. None of them looked sick, they were 5 years and older. We have found dead bucks every year. But that has been the case the last 15 years. I do have pictures of some sickly looking younger bucks and does. No doubt the...

    When will the Bowmars get what they deserve?

    It’s happening in MN, 20 miles from the iowa border. DNR has ravaged the heard. They’ve added 2 extra cwd hunts after the regular firearms seasons have closed. Added landowner hunts followed by 3 months of sharpshooting. Going on year number 5. Not to mention, unlimited tags on does and bucks...

    Shotgun hunting/ hunter harassment question.

    Anyway you could hinge cut 30’ around your property? In a few years it would be so thick and nasty that they couldn’t see past that barrier into your property.

    Switchgrass failure due to foxtail??

    Don’t worry about foxtail. I was in this scenario 10 years. Asked Paul Knox on his take. He said let it go, don’t worry about it. The first year I had nothing but foxtail. Kept it mowed so it didn’t get too tall. By year 2 i didn’t hardly notice any foxtail. And had a great stand of switch...

    ATV Spreader

    Thanks for sharing the video! That really looks like it would work perfect. When seeding Forbes, do you separate from the grasses? Or do you have the seed company mix everything together and just use the bigger hopper? Thanks again for sharing this.

    Helping deer over winter.....

    In southern Minnesota the WSI is a little different then the northern part of the state. This year the winter severity index in the southeastern part of Minnesota will be 32. 32 indicates the number of weeks the deer have been/will be hunted in 2020/2021. I’m so thankful we don’t have all the...

    ATV Spreader

    I haven’t done a ton of research on this subject but I am looking for a spreader I can mount on a 4 wheeler. We have about 15 acres of CRP going in this spring. The ground is so rough we are not even going to attempt to drill it. Instead we are doubling up the seed. I’ve used hand broadcast...

    The “survivors” & leaving cams up...

    Yep. Ground zero. Or as the DNR calls it, ‘the hot zone’.

    The “survivors” & leaving cams up...

    I use to love getting the cams moved around to food sources in January to see what had made it through. Not so fun anymore. In 5 years I went from getting 20-30 bucks 2 1/2 years and older, today I have 3. Corn piles will start appearing this week and ‘sharpshooters’ will be soon to follow...

    Gun Vault

    I’m in the market for a fireproof gun vault. I don’t have a lot of guns. Would probably never have anymore than 25. Does anyone have anything in particular I should be looking for, or brands to stay away from? I want something that is quality. Buy once, cry once.

    When do you shoot your bucks

    Just got to thinking today, what time of day have you been successful harvesting mature bucks. (4 years old +). I love hunting mornings, but the past few years I haven’t hunted them as often and have been successful hunting less days and killing my target bucks in the evening. I’m wondering if...

    Pumpkins/ squash

    I use to feed deer pumpkins and left over apples in the winter from an apple orchard. Annually I would get approximately 3 truck loads of pumpkins and about the same in apples. Deer hammered both. I tried growing pumpkins a few years later. Probably about an acre. Probably half got eaten before...

    Red clover

    I have such terrible problems with pigweed and Pennsylvania smartweed I quit trying to plant white clover because by early September it would just be over run by weeds. I clipped the red clover about a month ago to a height of around 10”. It looked awesome, now I can see smartweed beginning to...

    Red clover

    For those of you with red clover plots. When are you mowing your last cutting of the year. And at what height are you mowing at?
