    I've got 20 acres in upstate ny, what would you suggest to improve it?

    Usually yes. Last year there was some kind of winter wheat that they just sprayed about a week ago. I think that will be planted in soybeans this year, with a strip of corn along the west side of the property.

    Ha! Yeah, I grew up out west and still do most of my hunting out there. Trying to figure out this whitetail gig and just wanted someplace where I don't have to worry about other people messing things up. 20 is all we could afford for now, so I'm trying to make the most of what we have!

    When you say "high quality cover". Are there specific species that are good? Should I be planting, or just letting it fill in on its own? I have planted about 30 fruit trees around the house, and we have half a dozen mature pear and apple trees around the perimeter where the ditches cross the...

    Thanks for the detailed answer. The corn usually gets harvested in early October. I just got half a dozen chestnuts and was thinking of putting them next to the oaks on the Sw side. There are also about 30 little cedars that are getting established along the western border, though they are...

    Winds are tricky on this site. Predominant winds are from the west/NW, but in the evening as air cools it settles downslope, which is east. Wind often switches 180 degrees as the sun goes down. Last season I set a stand at the southern tip, and got a buck as he was crossing, but I'm trying to...

    Cold Bow 2024.... QnA Thread

    Question: I put my basic arrow info in the challenge thread because I thought it might be interesting to share and get a sense of what others are shooting. I don't want to clutter the post up though, so I wanted to check if I should delete that out or leave it in.

    Vortex Kaibab 18x56 vs Maven C4 18x56

    Thanks for the advice. I'll be hunting open country in eastern MT this fall and am trying to figure out how much/which glass to carry. It's helpful to hear what others have settled on.

    Vortex Kaibab 18x56 vs Maven C4 18x56

    Out of curiosity, do you carry these in a chest pack, and if so, which pack do you use that fits them? Otherwise I assume you just carry them in a backpack?

    Magnus Buzzcuts vs Black Hornet Ser Razors?

    My dad has shot elk the past 4 years with the ser-razors. 60lbs, 30" draw, 2 passed clean through breaking ribs on at least one side, one stuck in a leg bone on the off side (and I mean stuck!) And one was a hard quartering away and down shot where it entered on the diaphragm and exited out the...
