That’s a possibility I hadn’t considered. Maybe spraying before seeding instead of tillage. The person explaining to me implied it was after seeding, they said “to control weeds”, but then they recommended mowing which would lead me to believe the usually twice mowing during the summer. I will...

Signed the papers for next spring’s CRP seeding. One change, and some folks here can maybe explain the reason for it, is that during the establishment year mowing is not a cost share eligible practice, but chemical spraying is. Even when nearly all seeding mixes have forbs in them. When I...

Yes, but the issue is how will it compare 10-15 years from now. Time can make a person a hero or a heal.

Just got two fairly large fields into the CRP for next year. I guess the reports of its death are premature.

Good deal. The best hunting dog I personally have had was a rescue lab. I think she knew how lucky she was to get out of dog jail and land where she did. She was uncannily easy to train. Smarter than me most of the time.

Looks really good. Foxtail isn’t a bad food source.

I have switched the safety on my 37 to left hand. There is a small ball bearing that I imagine has been lost on yours. Go to you tube and find a video.

Possibly more items will come up missing with the new USDA structure. We certainly don’t need duplication, no idea if that is the case here. The recent satellite scheduled to be destroyed is also concerning, possibly there are alternates. We have family members with the USDA, there will be...

I have a friend who is an DNR enforcement officer. They said they have never given a ticket for party hunting and it would take an unusual situation to issue one due to it being very difficult to prove. Short of an admission of guilt there isn’t much to go on. But, sportsmanship requires a...

I guess I didn’t intend my comments to have anything to do with party hunting. I assumed following the law was a given.

Odd to have such strong opinions on what other folks do. I will say for me it is the people who make the difference, not the number. I have hunted in a group with one or two others that I didn’t enjoy much. Heck, there have been times I’ve hunted by myself and didn’t enjoy the company. With...

I’ve heard of dogs getting run over while working out with a pickup.

That’s about as good as it gets, good job.

Yeah, us folks down stream got hit hard.

You ever try fall planted rye ? I think that would have seed on it into the winter, and then it would reseed itself. Corn would certainly have a better chance of standing up to snow. None of my CRP can have food plots, all wet land (duck) program.
