Hey guys, I have a question about creating bedding areas for bucks. Specifically, I’m looking to increase the number of bedding areas that are between 400-800 yards from the main feeding area. The area is pasture with cattle at alternating times, so the bedding area would be best if it was...

I've been wanting to build a set of stairs to cross my barbed wire fence and finally got off my butt and did it. Free bed frames got the wheels turning and they turned out to be perfect for the job. Just as a note, some of the newer cheap bed frames are pretty light duty so might not work for...

Well, my pear tree package from The Wildlife Group came today. Unfortunately they are already leafed out. It is pretty cold here still and some of the leaves look pretty bad. Lows are supposed to be in upper 20's to lower 30's through the weekend, then warm up nicely. I'm thinking of heeling...

Does anybody have any experience using a pasture mist sprayer/fogger? I have always used my quad to spot spray with some boom usage for thistle and lespedesa, but quickly get overwhelmed. I typically spend 3 or 4 days per year spraying and when hedge trees are added it is way too much to cover...

Last year I got chinese chestnuts from Wayne and stored them in the fridge all winter. Planted them in starter pots, transferred to larger pots, and kept them watered all summer. A few weeks ago I got 15 of them in the ground before it froze. They were planted close to a barbwire fence to...

I've been wanting to build a hay bale blind for quite a while, and thought it would be a good first project in my new shop. There were plenty of things I would NOT do again, so thought I'd share. Hopefully, you find it useful. A couple treated 8ft 2x4's were purchased and cut in half. A few 2x6...

Well, we had a great evening looking for mushrooms. It isn't the greatest spot, but this year we hit the jackpot as far as I'm concerned. I'd be happy with a skillet full, but tonight we found 28. A couple were what I'd call medium, but the rest were all very large. No small ones at all. Some...

Received 150 trees yesterday from the Missouri Department of Conservation, so I finally got to try out the new dibble bar. Got a late start due to the weather, but did manage to plant 100 of the trees in the afternoon. Finishing wouldn't have been a problem but 15 persimmons were tubed, staked...

What a way to kick off the new year. Since I had the day off, I figured I'd make a day out of processing a doe shot yesterday. Out of the blue I thought we could finally try canning some meat as it sounds so good.Saved a few cuts that had some tendon running through them and shanks too...

I’ve done a search and cannot find a thread on different species of native browse. Although a nice food plot has many benefits, it’s not viable on all properties. There are plenty of websites such as the Missouri Department of Conservation that do an excellent job of explaining many plant...

FYI-The Missouri Dept of Conservation is open for online tree orders starting today. I told my wife that I'd hold back and plant fewer trees than last year, but spend more time and tube or fabric each one. Ha, that didn't last long. So addicting that I just couldn't stop, so I ended up...
