I mean I think it's cool and all, to see how deer would be using a property. And I can see it helping possibly market a farm. It's just......their taking all of the mystery out of it, people dont have to scout anymore because we got 20 cell cammeras running, when my dad first started taking me...

There's a farm for sale locally that is currently 75% tillable, 25% trees an oak planting from first glance to me. Tillable is literally beach sand that carries a 20 average CSR2 rating. A lot of farm is 5 CSR. And is being farmed. Farm really should be put in a program of some kind, I dont...

Congratulations, the adventures are just beginning. Our 1st just turned 1. Short on sleep will be an understatement the first 4-5 months. We learned to operate on sleep deprivation. Totally worth it.

Year 5 of farming and year 2 of farming on my own. I farm with a bunch of antiques compared to most. But it works for me. My farms were all corn on corn this year, with the drought and hail storms yields were down compared to last year. But pretty thankful I has the crop I had. Best farm made...

If money was no object? Oh boy the list is long. I'd have to have an hour of typing to list all of the stuff.

Lucky was looking on Amazon, which ones work the best for you? They range from 30-60 bucks, not a big price swing just want the best ones.

One time I was out hunting the late season in brutally cold temperatures and I think I got a hint of frost bite on my feet. Ever since then I have had trouble keeping my feet warm during the late season. I wear the thickest thinsulated boots I can buy. And have tried different combinations of...

Hunted Saturday and Sunday with a small family group, 7 people. Pushed a mix of Public and Private lands and it sure seems that deer numbers are down significantly. Hunted morning to dusk and only filled 1 tag. Some of the poorest group hunting I've had in a long time. (Talked to 3 other groups...

I'm not sure the deer numbers are down on my farm. Had some good rut hunts this fall, also had a few hunts that were slow. That's normal. I will say Mature buck numbers seem to be down. As of right now, I can think of 1 buck that i would shoot. Which is pretty low for me. Normally have more...
