    Elevated soft side blind

    Anyone ever tried the working man’s version of an elevated blind? Those hard sided blinds are so expensive so I’m giving this a go instead. I’ll be adding some rubber flooring to the bottom so I would think it should be fairly airtight with the windows closed. Thoughts? Success stories? Sent...

    Red osier dogwood cuttings

    Does anyone have enough ROD shrubs on their property that you could take a bunch of cuttings and send them my way? I can pay for shipping. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    Official timber harvest/logging thread

    A discussion got kicked off in the Live From the Stand post so I figured we'd carry it over and make an official timber harvest thread. Post up anything related to timber harvests. Pics, questions, pros and cons, funny stories, results, etc. These are some before pics of what I marked for the...

    Mock power line

    I know power lines can be good places to hunt and plant food plots as they are typically wide enough to get good sunlight to the ground, but has anyone ever cut out a small mock powerline (a glorified shooting lane)? I was thinking of putting in an additional micro plot on my place and...

    Mesh fence for screening

    One of the things I'm focusing on for next season is better screening for my access trails. So far I have planted some norway spruce in the high spots and willow, and bald cypress for the low lying spots. Obviously that is more for long term screening and I need something for the short term...

    Who smokes their clothes?

    I am going to try it this year and wanted to know who else has tried it and how effective you think it is? Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    High cutting mower options

    I know most of us are getting into prime hunting mode, me included, but my wife wants some ideas for my Christmas list so i am thinking about my wish list for next year's habitat work. For those of you that don't have heavy equipment, what sort of mower options are you using? I am looking...

    Root growing box - Real deal or gimmick?

    What are your thoughts on this one guys? I just saw a link to it and thought it was a very intriguing concept, but I know some of these things are gimmicky. If it works as advertised then it seems like a great way to get quick clones of our most desired trees...

    Hazelnuts from seed

    I collected a few hazelnuts from the shrubs behind my skinning shed today and plan on trying to grow them from seed. What's the best method, direct seed in their final destination spot or grow in pots and then plant next fall? If growing in pots, do they need to be cold stratified in the...

    Hunting/habitat podcasts

    This was briefly mentioned in the TV show poacher thread so I figured I'd just start a new one specifically around podcasts. Do any of you listen to them and if so, which ones are your favorites? Currently the ones I listen to regularly are... #1 Land and Legacy/Hunt the Land #2 Habitat...

    Plum?

    Is this a variety of plum? There were about 8 or 10 of these blue 1 -1.5 inch fruits laying in a small area. In doing some searching online it appears to be a mount royal or a blue rock plum. One of them had a greenish-blue hue to it. I'll try to get a pic of the tree next time but I was in...

    Red Osier Dogwood questions

    Just a couple questions about when, where, and how on ROD plantings. I have plenty of low-lying wetlands so it should thrive there. 1) Can you plant ROD cuttings in the spring, summer, or fall? Is one season better than the others? 2) Does anyone have any ROD cuttings they'd be willing to...

    Hybrid willow cuttings

    What site does everyone recommend for getting hybrid willow cuttings? So far the Iowa DNR seems like the best/cheapest place to me.

    Micro woods plot success pics

    I'm still a complete novice at food plotting so I would love to see some pics of micro plots (1/4 acre or less) that people have had success with, whether they be the plots themselves, game cam pics, or successful hunts in and around them. Also, what plants have you had the most success using...

    Multi flora rose?

    I think I already know the answer but what do y'all think? It's alongside my pull off from the road heading down toward the river. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Pruned appropriately?

    This is my first attempt at pruning so I only took a couple twigs off of a young pear tree I just bought. So if I want branches to grow out away from the central leader I cut just above a bud facing away? Does it look like I did this correctly? I used a sharp exacto to make the cuts. Sent...

    Where to find potted chestnut trees?

    Anybody got any good sources for more mature chestnut trees? Most everything I can find online is for bare root seedlings (12-18") but I was looking to get something with a couple more years of growth. None of the local stores carry potted chestnuts that I've seen, however I can get some 3 - 4...

    Tree id help

    Thoughts? The app suggests flowering dogwood or persimmon. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
