  • Lost a listener

    Used to love this show. After a couple episodes ago where you went on a rant about “purple hair people” my kid who was riding in the car asked why a Christian man was talking poorly and verbally bullying someone. I turned the episode off and couldn’t finish it. Then I was listening to your next episode today for you to go on another rant about how Christian guys could talk poorly and lie about you. Best of luck. Unsubscribed.

  • Ego gets in the way of a great podcast

    Don and Terry put out some great tips and information. The constant rants on young guys, politics, and building up of themselves to I guess seem more credible really gets in the way of this being a great podcast. If you can wade through the ego talks and rants against others to get to the actual content there’s some good info to listen to.

Cut More Trees! How Aggressive TSI Creates Better Deer Habitat
Q: What food plot would you recommend when surrounding farms plant corn and soybeans?
Soybeans are preferred if you can plant where they won't be browsed; otherwise, keep standing soybeans in nearby fields for late-season forage and consider corn, clover, alfalfa, or nutritionally rich mixes.
Cut More Trees! How Aggressive TSI Creates Better Deer Habitat
Q: What soil amendments should be considered before planting clover and perennials on a recently cleared area?
