Everyone always thinks their situation is the hardest or “real hunting”. This dudes created a life where he can hunt and scout and he does. He puts tons of hours in and does it consistently from city to suburbs to farm country. Never seems to be selling a magic bullet either. He just finds a...

Ya I figured that at a large scale work and just density count - we could have a bid but maybe it’s 2-4x that amount. I know the idea is pie in sky. It just gives me hope that maybe we could do something that would be better than zones or county bag limits and I feel like the only way to...

I imagine it would be pretty effective. On a similar scope - I have a bunch of acres in NRCS/EQUIP. The state forester covers 3-4 counties and must walk, inventory, mark, and perform other tasks in wooded hills throughout the area, write up plans, submit bureaucratic paperwork, and meet with...

That is frustrating. I have been suggesting (loosely) that we utilize these drones to manage township-level areas for DPSM. It seems that it would be affordable, and also allow for areas that need herd reduction to be accurately reduced and those that need herd increase, by biological standards...

@brock ratcliff I’m curious your take on this but realistically could ODNR hire drone operators to get deer populations in the worst hit areas? Seems if just flying to count thermal light deer - a drone could cover a lot of ground quickly? Maybe a thermal on an airplane is better?

I believe this is correct, similar to what I have read. It is also similar to most viruses. Cattle (I think) are more immune due to constant bacterial and viral inoculations occurring. Basically, the flu shot changes each year, ever so slightly, to mimic the flu variants likely to be most common...

Same - I thought maybe it was due to the unusually cooler temps. I read that it can help slow EHD midge, but only a frost will kill them. Does anyone know if that is accurate? I've noticed a lot fewer mosquitoes and such, since we have had a few nights in the 40s.

I played those numbers as well. I agree without you! I felt the only way to mathematically stay consistent is the removal of emotional response. Maybe that was wrong and I could go back to this and calculate a coefficient of change from the mean relative to the avg. emotional response - however...

EHD + Harvest Pressure = Recovery Trouble I’ve been running numbers on Ohio deer densities, using 20–25 deer per square mile and a 36-square-mile township as the baseline. Here’s what happens when disease and harvest overlap: 30% EHD kill + 27% harvest (statewide average): Herd does not...

The yields are coming on now. Each plant is loaded!!! Bryce is proud of his sunflower!

The best kind!!! I killed a 5.5 year old on this spot years ago and I honestly don’t know how many does.

Put in little permission spot yesterday and caught some rain! Sometimes the little hand tool plots are even more fun!! Carbon load No till nuture Rain Check check check!

Go time!! Awesome!!
