    What's BEST early season strategy?

    How many of you guys have killed mature bucks early in October? What has been the strategy? I have corn on one of my places and am leaving a couple acres so I knocked down a corn path in the middle of the field to connect two treestands on the east and west sides of the corn. Do you guys...

    Want to only broadcast seed 5 feet wide.....any ideas how?

    I have about mile of a 5 foot trail throughout my timber that I want to plant to a clover/rye mix. I took dbltree's hinge cutting to heart and put my own twist on it. I marked a main deer trail and hinge cut on both sides of it so that i basically have a secluded trail that now gets some...

    Best Food Plot Shape and Size

    I have about 100 acres of hardwoods (mature white oaks) on the very southern end of my property. It has lots of ironwoods and scattered honey locust trees in it. If I were to take all the trees but the white oaks there would be enough sunlight for dbltree's rye, oats, pea and red clover mix...

    Deer Sign NOW vs. HUNTING SEASON

    I've been walking my property a lot over the last month looking at the deer sign (trails and beds) and marking potential tree stand trees. The beds are mostly in my cedars. I've only owned the property less than a year. Do you guys find your deer bedding much in the cedars during the hunting...

    Food Plot "Maze" Idea

    Was reading on the QDMA forum about Tony Lapratt and Ed Spin.... on how they recommend createing mazes in their food plots and properties so that the bucks have to spend more time on your property visually checking each food plot pocket verses checking one large food plot and moving on. I see...

    Anyone ever try Canola for fall food plot?

    Couple of my friends in Wisconsin, Iowa and Kansas have had very good luck with Canola (a form of rape) as a fall food plot. Was curious if anyone has ever tried it. I'm going to broadcast strips of it this year in mine. Along with rye, oats, wheat, AWP, and red clover. (and possibly Cow...

    Broadcasting Turnips into Corn Now???

    I am having the farmer leave 5 acres of corn standing and was wondering about broadcasting turnips now before the corn gets too tall (thought it would be the easiest way to do it before it gets too tall). Would this work? I am not wanting the plot to attract during bowseason (have green...

    Creating The Most Cedars The Fastest

    I have a pasture in Kansas that I just bought next to another property I own and the pasture has been well taken care of for getting rid of cedars. It is a brome pasture with a lots of cedars in the ditches but not in most of the areas in the pasture. I was thinking of going in and...

    Anyone Hunt over Milo (Sorghum)?

    I hunt in KS and in Iowa. In KS I've had the farmer leave a couple acres of milo standing and the deer love it. It's easy to eat and they feel safe (cause it about as tall as them) feeding early. Where I hunt in IA (Loess Hills-20 miles NE of Missouri Valley) all the farmers plant...

    Funnel Fencing Ideas?

    I was at a friends farm this weekend and was amazed! He built thousands of dollars of fencing (8ft high woven wire) in big timber to funnel the deer to certain "kill" locations. Instead of using high dollar woven wire, do you guys/gals think 4 ft. tall silt fence (it's a black fence you see...

    Will this work?

    I am building some gravity feeders that I want to put corn in to supplement the deer this time of year and take inventory (trail cams) of what I still have for bucks. I grew up on a farm and we use to feed corn mixed with 30% salt to limit the intake of corn in cattle. Would this work for...

    What is the best digital trail camera TODAY?

    I've got 2 Older Cuddebacks, 2 Newer Cuddebacks and 4 new Moultrie's (the new ones that are Cabela's exclusive and need 6 D batteries). The older Cuddebacks are very good, better battery life and only good thing about new Cuddebacks are the ease of getting the memory disks out. The 6 Volt...

    Question on Fall Food Plot in Creek Bottom

    I've got a creek bottom that is pretty open and has lots of reeds canary grass that I'd like to put a fall food plot on. I planted milo and soybeans but they got flooded out. Any suggestions on this? Reed canary is a cool season grass and how would you recommend killing it and what would...

    Wetlands (WRP) and Reed Canary Grass

    I just purchased a 520 acre parcel that is 50% Iowa River/Timber and 50% WRP (Wetlands Reserve Program). The WRP is virtually all reed canary grass and I think the WRP would be willing to pay to get rid of this invasive grass. I need to put together a plan to replace the reed canary. I was...

    New Trail Camera Bait Idea!!

    I have 6 Cuddebacks and have been experimenting with them over the last 3 years. I've tried everything and had an idea last night coming home. I've had great luck baiting the cameras using whole corn but the problem has been the does, fawns and small bucks eating most of it. I grew up on a...
