    One Thousand Chestnut Trees - a Whitetail Deer Project

    I remember when I first discovered the old QDMA Forum. The knowledge and experience of the brain trust was impressive. I spent many hours reading and learning from those that had more experience than I. Their willingness to share practical knowledge that worked proved to be our downfall when...

    One Thousand Chestnut Trees - a Whitetail Deer Project

    I started in 2014 with my Chinese Chestnut activities. It has been a great ride. Not every year is the same: I retired, 5 years later I suffered a mild heart attack, buried both of my in-laws. settled my mom's estate, and other issues that occur in an older person's life. I have shipped over...

    Chestnut Production?

    I had some real good news yesterday. I have buried chestnuts for two years, in Fall of 2021 & 2022. Digging them up is no fun but it works if you are playing the numbers. I filled 4 dorm/beer fridges up and put 2 gallon buckets and small plastic paint containers in the hole. So in the 2023...

    Deer like a variety to browse from. If I have only one food plot, it is clover. Better for deers health and can last many years in most situations. Clover likes to be mowed fairly often as it don't like stuff taller than it. Clover in one side of a plot with brassica or turnips in the other...

    Plant Chestnut Seedlings on the north side of any food plot field - space them to get a tractor and bushhog between the trees (25 to 28 feet apart). Chestnuts need full sun, don't survive in standing water, & want acidic pH. Plant your clover plots - on north end 40 feet from woods plant...
