Does anyone have these canvass style shelters that you can park cars, boats, tractors etc? You can get them at Fleet Farm, Menards, or Northern tool. I am thinking of buying one for our deer camp. most of us have campers or ice houses we sleep in, but I was thinking of getting one of these so...
This is a question for anyone, but I would really like to hear from the guys who've been doing this stuff for 15-20 years. Over the years, what's one of the biggest mistakes you've made on your property that you wish you had never done? E.g. Had a 5 acre food plot cleared dead center in the...
Here is a picture of my Food plot back in 2007. There was as many as 50 deer using this food plot in 2007. It was an unreal sight for us. Since 2007, we have shot .75 does per year off our 475 acre chunk. That's right... 3/4 of a doe per year. I'm trying to figure out why I have very...
Does anyone have these? What wildlife use them? Turkeys, grouse, other birds, deer? I think the little apples stay on all season and never drop? Thanks
Does anyone have any experience planting shrubs for deer browse?Perhaps next to a winter bedding area, along a heavily used trail, or just randomly? What would be a preferred choice that deer would use every year and it would keep growing back? Thanks
Has anyone had any luck with stump remover products? I have an area I want to get a poor man food plot going and I don't mind if the stumps are there now, but it would be good if they are gone someday.
I visited my bear bait station today and found the 55 gallon drum laying on it's side. I had it chained to a tree pretty tight, but i guess these bears mean business. Hopefully Tuesday I will let something have it. Lots of different bears I think? These pictures are my biggest ones. They...
I'm looking for a good laugh. One of you guys posted a YouTube video a year or so ago with a couple guys ( interesting characters) trying to sell some goofy food plot system. Maybe it was a roll out food plot system. Can't remember... If someone knows what I'm referring to, please post it...
I have several areas where my broadcasted corn has been browsed. Will these recover or are they kind of like a terminal bud on a white pine? Also, if some of the corn has purple, am I deficient on Nitrogen? I tried to attach a pic, but now it says my files are too large?? What can I do about...
Was wondering if anyone knows how many lbs per acre of seed corn would be best. I tried around 20 lbs per acre last year and had poor results, but there are many other factors why it didn't grow good last year.
Was looking for some input from you guys. I was approved for a EQIP contract for next winter. The contract is a little more involved because it is designed to help the endangered gold wing warbler and has a forester assigned to the project. Basically a clear cutting on our property. We will...
Check out the Grant $$$ the DNR gives out to 16 different MDHA chapters,Pheasants Forever, NWTF, and other MN conservation groups. I wonder if any of these grants are approved for enhancements done on private land for local conservation non-profit groups. I'm guessing not...
Just wanted to post a picture of my firstborn daughter. She was born on February 22 and she was 4 weeks early. Can't wait for her to get bigger so we can roam the property together.
Just saw on the Rum River QDMA Facebook page that the DNR is working with QDMA to publish an actual deer plan. I suppose this can't hurt the current situation. Is QDMA cut out for this though? Writing a deer plan for an entire state is a little more complicated then telling people to start a...
Anyone know where to send in the bottom front teeth so I can know the exact age of my buck? I'd like to share the info. With our co-op when I get back the results.
Can anyone recommend a awesome taxidermists? The guy I have gone to in the past has done 5 heads for our family over the years. There is no question they are going to be perfect when you get them back. Absolutely flawless. The negative thing about him is he charges $700, takes 11/2-2 years...
