    Shrub? with bristly bark

    I was out spraying apple trees and food plots today, and putting out trail cams for the first time. Then I start walking around and trying to identify some shrubs this time of year as I don't get out much normally as it's too hot. Found some autumn olive I hadn't noticed before (great...) which...

    Tree id

    Found this one alongside the road. I have a good guess, but I'd like others to give their opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What's this stuff

    I was walking the land today after my work was done and noticed several thickets forming of this shrub in an area that had previously been cut. Wondering if anybody knows what it is and if I should keep it. A lot of it was approaching 7+ feet and appeared to be suckering. Is it something good to...

    Small tree ID

    Was out after some limb rats this weekend and came across a small tree on the edge of a field. Any guesses? It was indeed a successful morning! BBQed a couple of these guys tonight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Best shrub for screens

    I have some Norways planted to screen a small field but they are very small and a long way from helping. I was thinking of adding a row of shrubs that can help in the short to mid term. Egyptian wheat has been tried and failed, so I'm thinking a shrub would be best. Soil is well-drained...

    Name these shrubs

    I'm trying to expand my knowledge of native plants. My tree IDing is coming along a lot better than my shrubs. I've got 2 that were right next to each other that I'd love some help with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Flood plain planting

    My brother recently bought some property in Missouri north of Saint Louis that is about a half mile from a river. He's looking to plant something to benefit wildlife, mainly deer and turkeys that can handle occasional flooding. He put in some pin oak seedlings that went completely under water...

    Trail cameras are.....

    So I put together this post during a way too long all day uneventful sit as it sums up a lot of my feelings surrounding trail cameras, and some that I've heard during my time on this and the other forum. This is meant to be VERY light hearted and satirical; I am merely poking fun at myself and...

    Age. This. Buck.

    Here is a buck who appears to be a bully. Have a pic with his ears laid back clearing the area of other deer. He also does not hang out with the other bucks in the area. I would like opinions on age, without the rack complicating things. I'll share the full pics after we get some guesses...

    Central Illinois Buck - Surprise at the end

    So we got exactly one sequence of this deer last summer, and then he disappeared. I believe he was bullied out of the area, as we had several big bodied 8 points with small racks who were overcompensating. I'm sorry for the poor quality of the pictures, but as mentioned, this is all he gave...

    Jealousy

    I've been hunting for ~18 years (I'm 31), and deer hunting has become the most important recreational activity of my life, second only to family and career. Early in my hunting career, I have to admit I was a bit envious any time another hunter in camp brought in a nice buck. Rarely did I...

    Think I need some serious apple tree help

    Ok, I am less than a newbie when it comes to managing fruit trees. Backstory: I ordered several apple and pear trees when I was living out of state for my in-laws to plant at their farm. They graciously planted them for me so they could have a head start by the time I would be moving back. As a...

    Dove hunting

    I've read enough about deer plots that I can grow something and have mild to moderate success. But I'm looking for something to hunt in September, and I have no idea how to plant a good dove plot. Keep in mind the area I want to plant is one acre that has been primarily in weeds for years. I...
