    Very Accurate AR-15

    I recently wanted to add another AR-15 to my collection and decided to go with a Springfield Saint Victor. It has a 16 inch barrel and comes with flip up iron sights. After I got those zeroed, I mounted a cheap Weaver 3X9 scope on it and started testing some factory ammo. I tried some different...

    I sense a great disturbance in The Force

    All of a sudden foods that seemed to be untouched for weeks are suddenly being eaten well. This includes cool season plots, persimmons, sawtooth acorns, apples, pears, Chinkapins, chestnuts, and a host of other goodies. I know why this is happening and many of you do too. For those who don’t...

    Deer Rifle Checking 2023

    First gun is my son's 300 Mag Christensen Arms Ridgeline. It is shooting a full throttle handload I worked out with a 180 Nosler Ballistic Tip bullet. I shot it one time at 200 yards and put it back in the case. The second target is from my Hankins Muzzleloader and it is also at 200 yards...

    I’m making a big bunch of apple chips this year - Carmel, cinnamon and some just plain. Four gallons of apples will make about one and a half gallon bags of chips.

    Chicory filling an important time gap for me

    When I first started plotting, I was talking to an experienced plotter about the value of different food plot species. When we were discussing chicory, he didn't have a lot of good things to say about it. He felt it was overhyped. Well......roll the clock around a few years, and now that I...

    Native Hunter 2023 Apples

    This looks to be a good year for apples where I live. I have some common, as well as some unusual varieties. I thought maybe some folks might enjoy a thread where I document the apples as they ripen through the year. All of my apples are no spray, so you may see a few bug bites, etc.... I...

    Have we been overlooking the perfect browse plant?

    I was noticing the weeping mulberry in my yard today and how the deer come in at night and devour the low hanging branches. I've always known that mulberry is a favored browse species - I think right up there with apple. A weeping mulberry might just be the perfect browse plant because of how...

    Two topworked Callery Pears after one year

    Last year a friend of mine had an ancient old pear tree that had to be cut down, but he didn't want to lose it. I took scions and topworked Callery pear sprouts to save the tree. The pics below are those trees today (about a year later). From his description of the fruit, I suspect that the...

    How to Topwork with Bark Grafting

    Someone on the forum recently asked me to post some instructions and pictures on how to bark graft persimmons. I topworked an apple tree the other day and took the following pictures. The method is the same when doing a persimmon, so the following works with them too. However, you need to...

    Covid-19 Fruit

    The deer are hammering this right now. If I wanted an archery doe, I would set up a ground blind 30 yards downwind from this tree and it would be automatic....
