A no-till drill would be optimal, but not everyone has access or equipment. A drill would broaden the variety of plants you would have success with, in my opinion.
Just remember you’re not looking for a pristine field to cash crop...you’re just feeding the deer. Keep it in perspective!

First of all, DO NOT use diesel as a surfactant. Just because guys have used it for years doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. Spraying it on a driveway or something, maybe.... but that would be the only place I’d consider it.
I sprayed the tall weedy vegetation with glyphosate to “burn” off the...
Great perspective. Now for the kicker question....are you going to bank some points and hope to draw 2nd choice, or go all in and try to hunt more often?
Having a place that’s set up to take care of an animal properly makes a difference. I’m wanting to do more of my own processing, but it always seems like I’m too busy!
I’ve seen this one years ago. Good stuff.
How long would it take you, from hanging to dropping the last package in the freezer, does it take you to process a deer?
Interesting stuff. Do you have an average of how far each animal died from point of impact?
I switched to a single bevel 2-blade a couple of years ago for penetration/efficiency purposes (all based on Dr. Ashby’s studies). I don’t have a lot of kills with that head yet, but blood trails seem...
Can you get it for $211 all set up? Keep in mind that you do have to get the magwell, which I don’t believe can be found on Amazon. The magwell runs about $70. Figure the price of everything included and let me know what you find out. I’d be willing to wheel and deal if you can provide more...
Stock and accessories only (no barreled action/bipod included). Have a custom fiberglass being built. This Magpul is far better than any of the factory Remington stocks.
Short action, cheek riser kit, magwell (no magazines), m-lock sling stud.

Good stuff. I’d like to try the backcountry hunting camp thing one day. Was there anything in your pack you didn’t use or would not take again? All seems like it has a purpose, whether it turns to “survival” or had a current use. What about food? I may have looked over it somewhere.
I hear ya there. I’ve got 3 kids, ages 4, 2, & 1. I didn’t draw this year, but was a little anxious about if I had. Kids certainly change the dynamic at this age. We’re already discussing next year and if I get drawn, possibly flying and renting a vehicle. I just hate the idea of getting there...
