    Chestnut experts, need help

    No pics. I’d say 3/4 of 30 trees were barren. 3 trees on the south side had decent but not great production. A few had maybe a quarter of what they normally do and two were loaded with the dropped green burrs. All the ones that opened were brown, as they usually are. I smashed green one and it...

    How to pick a new area

    It’s gotta be pretty easy now with the inter webs and all. I drove from Michigan to Arkansas back in the 90’s to do a late season hunt after seasons closed up there. All I had was magazines and a telephone to call Arkansas wildlife. Turned out to be a great hunt and adventure. Sent from my...

    Chestnut experts, need help

    This particular orchard is canopied out and covered in crownsbeard. Trees are 35-40 feet. I’ll bushhogg a strip through so I can actually see the deer but it’s thick. For 14 years they’ve been hammering the chestnuts until last year. White oaks were ok last year and non existent this year. I...

    Chestnut experts, need help

    So, 2 years in a row I’ve had weird anomaly with my chestnut trees Last year was the heaviest production I’ve ever seen in a grove of 15 -20 year old dunstans. At the end of the season there were thousands of perfectly formed nuts laying on the ground, uneaten. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Like...

    High School Oak

    Sure they’re not sawtooth? I have a few trees that have those characteristics. From the height/ description (and the fact that is a landscape tree planted near a school) sounds like it could be. The burrs I’ve seen don’t produce that young. Sent from my iPhone using Deer Hunter Forum

    The problem with sawtooth

    Unfortunately VA has a white oak drought this year. Will make for much easier hunting though. These are the years we will see anywhere from 15-25 deer and bear on an afternoon sit. Sent from my iPhone using Deer Hunter Forum

    Stone Branch, build it, they will come.

    Careful with those poplar boards. They’ll rot within a year, even if painted, if left outside. Dig the holster. Might have to try making one. Sent from my iPhone using Deer Hunter Forum
