    No-till drills

    Gotcha, That is pretty much where I am as well, except that I just got my no-till drill. As I mentioned, I can't get on board with everything that any of the experts say, but I do want to increase the amount and quality of the forage for deer. I do believe I will land somewhere in the middle...

    No-till drills

    So Yoderjac, I am curious... You mention avoiding tillage and using no till to plant a seed blend, similar to what Dr Woods promotes.... However, you also posted a link to Dr Craig Harper and stated that you tend prefer his methods. But Dr Harper's methods are 180 degrees the other way from Dr...

    No-till drills

    Ok, RGrizzzz you are right I didn't mention my soil type, I am in south central kentucky so I have pretty much the same hard clay soil, without much organic matter as most people in Tennessee or North Carolina. And I already know that I will have to add more weight to the Tar River drill. That...

    No-till drills

    Ok, it's time to kick this post again..... So the last topic I wanted to discuss was how many of you guys use the "Buffalo system" that Dr Grant Woods promotes ? I have watched all his videos about it but I have several thoughts from my own experiences that don't quite mesh with his concept. I...

    How old is this buck?

    I am going to agree with Drycreek, that is not a young deer, at least a 3yo, certainly mature enough to show some potential if he has it. And I agree this is not about improving genetics, let's save that argument for another thread. Culling is not a bad word, I have already seem a couple posts...

    No-till drills

    Yes, I agree with you that yield is not the most important thing, as I mentioned, I have been planting food plots for QDM for decades just doing it the hard way... I am familiar with marestail as I have it in my area as well, the problem I have with weeds in my area is that several types grow so...

    No-till drills

    Ok, good stuff, as I suspected it appears closure and seed coverage is a problem. When I was researching the various models available I could tell everyone had their own idea about what works best. Even the AG boys like JD or GP that use large angled plastic wheels to collapse the side of the...

    No-till drills

    Ok guys, I after many years of working the ground to put in food plots I have finally pulled the trigger and bought a no-till drill. I scoured the internet for months looking at different brands and options and price and I ended up buying one of the newest brands on the scene. I got a Tar River...

    7.8 ph. Should I try to adjust it?

    Hey, first let me say that I will try to answer the question you are asking..... My answer is ... I can't answer your question because there are too many variables..... unfortunately, growing anything in the ground requires many things to happen be correct. However, let's look at what things we...

    Neck shots

    Yes, I agree with you, and I wasn't meaning to "tease" anyone, i just didn't want to make the discussion about smokeless powder but to simply say it is what I do... You are right, many muzzle loader hunters do not have the expertise to use smokeless powders, which is why I did not give any...

    Neck shots

    So I see that nobody responded to your question about using copper jacketed bullets in the muzzle loader so maybe I can share my experience with them... I have had several different muzzle loaders through years and about 6 years ago I bought one of the new "inline" style break open .50 cal...
