    You run cattle? I highly doubt that. As much as you have maligned farmers in the past on here.

    As much as I dont like coyotes, admitting to making an animal suffer needlessly is a bold move on your part.

    Predictions for deer season 26

    Thing with coyotes is there seems to be a never ending supply. Couple years ago in a five mile cross country stretch the state plane shot 90 some coyotes. And no that’s not a misprint. Within a month they were howling like crazy again. Got a guy that comes with thermal and he always gets 6-9 of...

    Predictions for deer season 26

    I’m guessing you are in the eastern part of the state. You won’t see a black field over winter here. Those guys out there love their tillage. By all accounts it seems deer are making a bit of a come back. That is without crp and habitat cause apparently that’s all gone. My guess is that the nice...

    Predictions for deer season 26

    One thing no one admits with crp is It made many small farmers move off the land and transferred everything to the larger farmers. Many families put their farm in crp and chased the kids off the farm. Then when those acres came out they were absorbed by larger and larger farmers. And I will tell...

    Predictions for deer season 26

Or in towns or anywhere else they could find something to eat. Because everything was buried in 4 ft of snow. The question is what are you gonna do to...

    Predictions for deer season 26

    Your right. I have no ambition to eliminate hunting. Here’s the deal though. Everyone is blaming the habitat thing as the main reason for low deer numbers. While that is a factor, hard winters probably kill way more deer than hunters. Doesn’t matter how much crp there is. When we get a nasty...

    You are probably right but I’m not one. If they eliminated all subsidies I would be fine with that. But we make money mostly with cattle and farm a little. All subsidies do is drive up land rent and prices for land and inputs. You have to farm enough to make crop insurance work.

    So, farmer welfare is good as long as you get a benefit from it? Hunters are conservationist till it comes time to kill something. you want to save it to kill it. Maybe if you really want to see wildlife recover, stop hunting.

    12” of ice? That guy with the ice castle sure is brave. On a lake maybe but not the river.
