    CWD and what I should know about it

    Ugh you just proved my “only more bad news” point. It’s not in our area (NE Ohio), so I hadn’t thought too much about it, but had never even considered this. Sheesh.

    CWD and what I should know about it

    We don’t know anything for sure, the article posted is the first faint clue that I am aware of, that human transmission is possible. If I lived in a CWD area I would only eat venison that had been tested, just my personal weighing of the upsides vs the downsides. I don’t have a spare brain if I...

    CWD and what I should know about it

    Again, CWD like a slow motion train wreck, I’m trying to think of one piece of good news I’ve ever heard about it. Generally it’s been a slow trickle of bad stuff. Extremely difficult to neutralize, uptake into crop plants (that we eat), eventually showed up here in Ohio, and now possible human...

    Is it our job to stop natural extinction situation?

    Not at all intending to cross the threshold of ‘political’ because I don’t see this as political I just see it as ecological math… and before the thread gets too upbeat. Should we be the stewards of our environment? Yes! Will we be, en masse? No, we will not. In pockets, sure (think the...

    Is it our job to stop natural extinction situation?

    That’s what is so darn frustrating, to have the capacity to do so much better, while just about every big metric says we are not. Post gets me to thinking too, pretty sure mule deer are in long term decline… if that were to continue I don’t think I’d vote to “let it happen”. I’d bet in most...

    Is it our job to stop natural extinction situation?

    To clarify, just talking land mammals not insects. But there’s a whole other can of worms, insect populations are plunging, maybe not ants though.

    Is it our job to stop natural extinction situation?

    I’m gradually radicalizing toward doomerism, I might be there already. Just a fun fact loosely related here - humans and livestock account for 96% of all land mammal biomass, wild animals are now 4%.

    Soil Test Report - Help

    Depending on how much time you have, can shoot for 7.0 ph but that’s a LOT of lime depending on your acreage. I’m usually content if I can keep the ph at 6.0 or higher… I wouldnt’t put the full lime dose to 7.0 down in one year, even getting into the low 6s will grow stuff just fine. I’m finding...

    Soil Test Report - Help

    If you’re growing clover yes you’re looking for a high phosphate fertilizer. Whatever middle number fertilizer you can find that’s % phosphorus. multiply that number by however many lbs of that fertilizer you have and that’s how many lbs of phosphorus you are delivering. I’m just making this up...

    Does Anybody Hot Tent?

    Thanks ordered two today, did elk camps w wood stoves in 2014 and 2017 never even gave that a thought. These days I’ve got fire / CO / gas alarms peppered all through the house.

    Does Anybody Hot Tent?

    I’ve only set the thing up in the yard so I don’t have much to report other than it seems like a really great tent, no buyers remorse. I sat in indecision for over six months but finally went with the CJ over the Skyliner because it has a much larger vestibule ( I did add the portico panels)...

    Does Anybody Hot Tent?

    @The_Fit_Ness_Monster indeed it was traditional Bowhunting And Wilderness Podcast, Jason talking about his camping setup, that turned me on to the idea too… but I didn’t want to modify a Kodiak for a stove so went with the Springbar. I wish I could live in the tent too. @Topdog youve peeled off...

    Does Anybody Hot Tent?

    I haven’t even done a burn yet, but seems great, it’s the large w one side pane of view glass. I went back and forth between that and the woodlander for maybe 2 months, ha. I’m gonna experiment with bio blocks, the compressed hard wood with no additives. I knew this thing was gonna be heavy but...

    Does Anybody Hot Tent?

    I’ve been eyeballing canvas tents for about a year now and finally pulled the trigger on a Springbar Classic Jack 140 with the Winnerwell stove. Figure it’s cheaper than a popup camper. I’m hoping about 60% use for family camping and 40% my own wilderness adventures. Set it up in the backyard...

    Anyone use John Eberharts scent control methods?

    Like @NMSbowhunter, most of the deeriest spots I know of (on a piece of private) are in areas where the wind sucks for me (swirls, shifts, unfavorable thermals) that’s why I tried Scentlok in the first place. Three times last season I got into scenarios where I’m watching a deer and waiting for...
