There is always a risk of leaving gaps in a clover stand. I frost seed our Annual Clover mix to fill gaps in annual plantings like Carbon Load (I only do this on the most poor soils and or when Carbon Load has been browsed extremely hard due to proximity to bedding). It keeps coverage tight and...

At Vitalize Seed, we’re big believers in frost seeding and diversity. One of my favorite strategies is frost seeding our Annual Clover into heavily browsed or hammered Carbon Load plots. I also love using Premium Clover+ as a frost seed option over already established clover and chicory stands...

This was a really fun project I did this past year and it absolutely blew me away!

I got a little setup in the basement, but mostly, I do cardio. Once the weather gets better, I have been enjoying running outside.

Isn't that what the law is now? You contact the neighbors and ask for permission. So if someone says "no, I dont want anyone back there" - you are stating we should be able to retrieve the deer regardless of the landowner's choice, correct? I want to make sure I understand your angle so I can...

I just dont think it is that common of an issue, especially with today's technology aiding in recovery. If this is happening often to someone, I think it is more likely the hunter/property layout or bad neighbor relationships - not the state's responsibility. I think we have enough areas of...

The state owns the deer, but they dont own the property or the hunter's decision. It is the hunter's responsibility to know the neighborhood and whether and where they are allowed to track. Now, I think it's a jerk move to not allow someone to track a deer. However, a blanket statement like...

My buddy's mom in HS would cut it up and deep-fry it into dark meat nuggets. A bunch of teenage boys couldn't get enough of it. I have had guys tell me I am crazy when I said it was GREAT (at least the way Mrs. D made it!).

The baiting ban - not reducing harvest was a huge one. I believe there was also state data (maybe another state) that showed crossbows being heavily regulated, total harvest didn’t slow but did shift more back to firearms.

I have never liked the idea of going against the NR. Heck, one of my best buddies is from PA, and we have a ball hunting together. However, that is my microscopic bias on the subject. At the State level, it is clearly an issue. Not to mention, there is a massive growing industry of guys paying...

That was very telling. I was shocked by that as well.
