We called this Tom in yesterday afternoon. He strutted in the same spot (at 50 yards) for 45 minutes. Sometimes decoys aren’t your friend but they’re helpful to get a bird in range of an arrow or in this case my sons .410. I’m not letting him shoot past 35 yet and ideally 25.

Anyone else turkey hunting yet? Just had a huge Tom bobcat in the decoys, sacrificed the picture to wake my nine year old up.

If you’re creating bedding in the middle of open woods you’ll need to consider the shade surrounding your cut to inform your minimum size. A quarter acre cut next to a field will get plenty of sun but that same size cut surrounded by mature timber will be mostly shaded and might not meet your...
Grafted a few trees last week. Four on Antonovka and four on M111. All the scion is late dropping (November) Rusty coat from a neighboring farm.

Awesome. I’m just a little jealous you have so much time to burn! I’m still optimistic I’ll get at least one unit burned this spring, we’ll see.

Our trapping season ends well before that’s a potential problem but I’d say it’s unlikely but not impossible. I caught a house cat last year which I thought was highly unlikely but it somehow managed to get ahold of the trigger.

It’s planting day, my two youngest helped me put a quick 200 acorns in the “pots”. We went heavy on SWO this year with the remainder in NRO and black oak from our property. Plus a few rows of Alleghany Chinkapin!
