    Blackthorn? Plum? ID Help Please

    Looking for sheds in a pine/cedar thicket I saw this white bloom and had to check it out. First glance I thought it had to be a plum, but the more I look online I’m thinking blackthorn. My iNaturalist app says meadowsweet but I believe that’s wrong. When I’m doubt I always come here knowing that...

    Bear for dinner

    Canned bear meat is the BEST. More tender than deer. Also have heard it’s good in burger, but haven’t tried that or steaks like you.

    Country Roads

    Old clear cut that we have a few acres of. The deer use it I believe, but I’m looking to maximize the draw. We have some locust in there, some mountain laurel and some about knee high brush. Any natives or shrubs could I plant in this rocky WV mountain land. Fire unfortunately isn’t available in...

    Upgrading A Golf Cart

    Verdict is still out. We are in the hills of WV and dad got an electric one last year. Jacked up, ballon tires etc and a lithium battery. It will pull anywhere we have, and a few places are right nasty with one person. Two people and some of the big pulls someone will have to get off. Depending...

    Are y’all ready…..

    Don’t have a deer hunt that I recall as being very cold. Coldest hunt of my life was a duck hunt last year. Sitting on the river we watched it freeze in front of us. Birds were rolling in though and got my first mallard band with my dad. Temps were around 0 with a wind chill of, very cold.

    Are y’all ready…..

    Duck season opens in WV tomorrow. Unfortunately with about 2 inches of rain and a little ice river will be rolling. Then with the temps around 0 and falling all day tomorrow that will lock everything up. The 10 ducks we had in WV will all be headed south!

    Country Roads

    I’m back! Well haven’t gone anywhere, have been poking around here for some time but wanted to get back into the habitat and property tour page! Picture attached is for attention, he’s the biggest buck of my life. Not the mountains of WV obviously, Kansas buck.

    Speed up the "thickening"

    It’s illegal in WV to burn the forest floor. We have burnt fields in the past, but after talk to local DNR a while back it came up that it was illegal, unfortunately.

    Single pin sights

    Times two on the black gold, best sight that I have ever had. I love the single pin, shoot your bow enough to know what it’s doing. I set it on 30 and forget it. I know what it’s doing at 20 and 40 so I’m good for 99 percent of my shots. If I’m feeling frisky and he is out there a little bit , I...

    Crossbow Question

    For future reference, planted the fields 3 weeks after spraying and everything was fine. Plots look good, just hope we can continue to get a little rain!

    The Land of Milk and Honey

    I’m sure it depends on the drone and model etc. Ours has about a mile radius and have flown it out of sight many times. Our drone is 6-7 years old though, I’m pretty sure the technology today you can fly one a lot further.

    The Land of Milk and Honey

    Got a DJI Phantom 4K years ago! Always fun to fly around the farms. We have flown it on some bear recovery missions in the corn before. Helps having some eyes above that can see a little further than the people actually in the corn field!
