I've never used the trophy rock but I know William has and has had good success with it.

Joe, thought your video was awesome. Very well made. Loved your trophy room and awesome shooting.

that is awesome. loved all the game pics.

good deal. that clover is one tough plant.

honestly for cold weather it is hard to beat corn. very attractive and high carbs. During the warm season then going to a high protein food is better nutritionally. Personally I'd stick with corn during the hunting season.

hmmm---not getting that add here. you might try downloading ccleaner and cleaning your harddrive. some type of pop-up.

it looks very stable. i thought about building one of those but decided to go with the propane tank.

I would also go ahead and get some soil samples done just to find out where your soil stands. first year i would concentrate on annuals then start a plan to get some perennials planted. Rye grain is a great soil builder. it will provide some good winter nutrition and then next spring you can till it back into the soil to build up your soil. Another good plant to throw in this fall is the Ground Hog Radish. It shoots out a large deep taproot that will aerate the ground soil and help loosen the soil (hardpan). It is also very palatable for deer. In the spring i would choose a round up ready soybean such as the Eagle Brand Soybeans. you can plant these in the spring and spray with glyphosate (round up) to create a really nice clean plot that can be turned into a perennial plot (ladino clover, chicory) the following fall. good luck todd

nice bridge. would hate for that to collapse when i'd be crossing it on my kubota

around here it is easy to find 2 3/4" shells. I'm a big fan of Kent Fast Steel. for ducks I'm usually shooting #3 shot.

i've planted it in a mix-never see much deer forage with it.

I have a creek that seperates the back 1/4 of my property. when i purchased the property i couldn't get my tractor to the back area. i hired a dozer man and he cut the ends off a propane tank and built a crossing. the next spring we had big rains and it looked just like yours. my neighbor came over with his small dozer and fixed it. i then used concrete blocks and concrete and built retaining walls around the edges of the propane tank. hasn't washed out since.

yep--that commercial is on all the time around here. Geico comes up with some good ones!

that is some sweet shooting. good job!

my labs love rawhide. a 12" one will last a couple hours with Belle. I give her one about every 2 weeks to help keep her teeth clean. She is 5 and I have never had to clean her teeth. I don't know of a particular brand. I get mine at Sams. BTW--I have never had a dog come into the clinic with a rawhide bone stuck in it's throat. todd

good deal and congrats on getting the old job back. Jobs are tough right now so it's nice you will bring in some extra income. todd

I would plant both. Just remember that after a hard freeze or two the oats are going to die. Then you are left with only the brassicas. Winter wheat will remain green all winter. Rye is also a good choice. I tend to stick with wheat just because I have had great success with it here in Oklahoma. However, rye is suppose to be a little more winter hardy and will actually have a little longer growing period then wheat before winter dormancy. Either one will be a great choice. If you mix them with oats the oats pop up really quick and are extremely palatable during the early bow season. good luck todd

another fan of Gold Tips. 5575 should be a great choice for you.

sounds awesome bud!

you probably planted the throw and grow too thick and ryegrass out competed the brassicas and clover in the mix. One option would be to plant a mix of clover and oats. The oats pop up real quick but will die at the first freeze, by then the clover should be starting to come on good. In my experience you don't get a lot of forage with clover the first season it is planted. It is slow to get established. When planted in the fall you really don't start getting good forage until the following spring. That is why i like to start a clover plot with a nurse plant such as oats, wheat, or like William said rye. good luck---but you are correct--clover makes a great plant for a small killing plot. todd

I have had best luck with planting rye grain in shady areas. I've also had success with red clover. Ryegrass does pretty good but is only palatable for a short time so I would stick with the rye grain.

still happy with my 3G---i'm still under contract but i'm sure i'll buy the 4 when i'm up for an upgrade

These are great times for sure. I know you hear this all the time but enjoy it--they grow up so fast.

that's a good deal. It should also have a manufacture warranty.

that's the reason i leave my cereal grains standing. Cover for deer and turkey nesting and seed for the turkeys to eat. The free seed to replant would be nice though but i'd rather have the birds. todd
