Do they fix vehicles with that much hail damage?

I have found that deer would prefer to bed where they usually bed now. . I find it hard to create totally new areas as they tend to keep to the familiar ones so, what I do is go in and enhance those areas that they already bed in. Make them bigger with some open areas in them so they can...

A common problem for many. Some questions first to get a better idea of what we’re talking about. How many acres do you have? Is it all timber or is there some fields, brush, swamps etc. Flat or hilly, mountainous?

Cereal Grain combo in 45% of plot...we use 50# each rye, oats and peas along with radish and clover seed all planted in half of each feeding area Winter rye 50-80#'s per acre (56#'s = a bushel) Spring oats 50-120#'s per acre (32#'s = a bushel) Frostmaster Winter Peas or 4010/6040 Forage peas...

The white perennial clover goes around the perimeter. Plant the rest of the plot in blocks or strips. Half of those with the brassica mix and half with the cereal combo.( annual clover and radish). He believed in the strip/block method to keep the deer moving through the plot. If you...

It’s all ok, just don’t sit by the door!

I’m looking at the turkeys and all I can think is. Kaboom!

In my experience it doesnt matter when you girdle. Remember to double or triple girdle to be most effective. I found that most girdled trees will tip over in a few years so i reserve girdling for only a few of the biggest trees that are either dangerous to fell or that will just take out...

Just curious. With all those hills and terrain features, How are your property lines marked So you know where your at?

Yep, red maples usually grow nice and straight and make good saw logs. They are usually part of any timber harvest where they reside. They just have a lower value than good hardwood trees. If you’re leaving the canopy on in that area it’s a moot point regardless. Carry on.

Very nice. It’s on many people’s bucket list. I’ve hunted in Cal many times down at the Tejon No black tail down there though.

Nice looking trees although I’ve never seen red maple worth much on the stump. I suppose it depends on how many you have. I ran into mostly red maple on my cutting and I never let one get in the way of improving habitat. Hard maple on the other hand was worth good money. Are you...

You’re getting it done that’s for sure. Those hills man, the deer can watch you a mile away.

Escapades: , An act or incident involving excitement, daring or adventure. When George documents his escapades, I can relate. :) Disclaimer, I DO NOT recommend or advise to do these activities. Personally, when I did them there was much planning and safety involved. Well thought out...

I’ve had to make promises too Because I just couldn’t stand hung up trees. I’ve went in and cut the tree it was hung up on, dropping both at the same time. Another time, I got the bright idea to drop a perpendicular tree onto the hung up tree hoping it would break free only to get that hung...

Fire makes the regen process happen so much faster. I don’t know how a person could dispute that? I found hinging worked best when there were many smaller trees that hinged well, and you could have an area with basically a roof over it where deer could walk under. In more open situations...

I ain’t mad at that! :)

I’ve used the honey hog and honey hog hot on pork shoulder, chicken wings and turkey. I like that seasoning a lot.

I think you got that biscuit baking down, they look perfect every time. 👍

It’s all about the experience. If you have fun doing it that’s all that counts. Especially when starting out.
