Awesome stuff! The habitat destruction will continue until it makes cents for land owners and farmers

It’d be great if there was software that took crop yield data and visually showed landowners profitable acres vs acres in the red that could be made neutral/ profitable through habitat grants

Oh no, the newest trend is clearing waterways of anything but well mowed grass. There is no monetary gain, not an extra row of beans to be gained, just bald scorched earth because it “looks good”. @LonewolfNopack can attest… they have equipment and time to kill right now. It’s sickening. Their goal seems to be to insure there isn’t enough cover to support a field mouse.

There is, it's called precision agriculture. Its readily available to most farmers if they seek it. Many simply don't care. It's been branded in their DNA to have a "clean" farm, even if they are well intentioned at heart. I could write a book on this mentality, but Aldo Leopold already did and called it "A Sand County Almanac". A must read for anyone who appreciates conservation. It was written in the 1940s but I wish he were still alive to write a few more chapters of the modern day.

Well done Brock and Peanut. Rooster!

View attachment 203922This pic was snapped 5 minutes after doe number 1 was drug off the corn pile and a half hour or so before doe number 2 landed in it. Not all properties are created equal.

Funny picture cuz it’s legal to shoot that deer but ILLEGAL to shoot those turkeys! The rational or definition of why and why not in the hunting regulations are contradictory.
That buck will be a dandy next year but like you said, there will probably be several much nicer or more mature to chase next year so he can get two more years on him.👍🏻
