Technical Resources
This pie map contains a pie chart for each state and the nation. The pie slices reflect acres of land in various land cover/use categories as a percent of the total area. The "Other" category includes Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) land, rural transportation land, other rural land, urban areas, and water areas. The size of the pies is proportional to the amount of land in the state.
Cautions for this Product: The national pie is not proportional to the state pies.
Source: National Resources Inventory, 1997 Distributor: USDA-NRCS-RIAD Reliability: NRI sample data are generally reliable at the 95% confidence interval for state and certain broad substate area analyses. Generally, analyses that aggregate data points by smaller geographic areas and/or more specific criteria result in fewer data points for each aggregation and therefore less reliable estimates. NRI maps reflect national patterns rather than site- specific information.
Aggregate Layer: State Other Layers Displayed:
Conservation Reserve Program (CRP): A Federal program established under the Food Security Act of 1985 to assist private landowners to convert highly erodible cropland to vegetative cover for 10 years. [NMCSP]
Cropland: A Land cover/use category that includes areas used for the production of adapted crops for harvest. Two subcategories of cropland are recognized: cultivated and noncultivated. Cultivated cropland comprises land in row crops or close-grown crops and also other cultivated cropland, for example, hayland or pastureland that is in a rotation with row or close-grown crops. Noncultivated cropland includes permanent hayland and horticultural cropland. [NRI-97]
Federal land: A land ownership class designating land that is owned by the Federal Government. It does not include, for example, trust lands administered by the Bureau of Indian Affairs nor Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) land. No data are collected for any year that land is in this ownership. [NRI-97]
Forest land: A Land Cover/Use that is at least 10 percent stocked by single stemmed forest trees of any size which will be at least 4 meters (13 feet) tall at maturity. When viewed vertically, canopy cover is 25 percent or greater. Also included are areas bearing evidence of natural regeneration of tree cover (cutover forest or abandoned farmland) and not currently developed for nonforest use. For classification as forest land, an area must be at least one acre and 100 feet wide. [NRI-97]
Land cover/use: A term that includes categories of land cover and categories of land use. Land cover is the vegetation or other kind of material that covers the land surface. Land use is the purpose of human activity on the land; it is usually but not always related to the land cover. The NRI uses the term (land cover/use) to identify the categories that account for all the surface area in the United States [BS-1982; NRI-97]
Other rural land: A Land cover/use category that includes farmsteads and other farm structures, field windbreaks, barren land, and marshland. [Revised 1992 NRI Summary Report, omitting CRP land.]
Pastureland and Native Pasture: A Land Cover/Use category of land managed primarily for the production of introduced or native forage plants for livestock grazing. Pastureland may consist of a single species in a pure stand, a grass mixture or a grass-legume mixture. Management usually consists of cultural treatments-fertilization, weed control, reseeding, or renovation and control of grazing. (For the NRI, includes land that has a vegetative cover of grasses, legumes, and/or forbs, regardless of whether or not it is being grazed by livestock.) [NRI-97]
Rangeland: A Land cover/use category on which the climax or potential plant cover is composed principally of native grasses, grasslike plants, forbs or shrubs suitable for grazing and browsing, and introduced forage species that are managed like rangeland. This would include areas where introduced hardy and persistent grasses, such as crested wheatgrass, are planted and such practices as deferred grazing, burning, chaining, and rotational grazing are used, with little or no chemicals or fertilizer being applied. Grasslands, savannas, many wetlands, some deserts, and tundra are considered to be rangeland. Certain communities of low forbs and shrubs, such as mesquite, chaparral, mountain shrub, and pinyon-juniper, are also included as rangeland. [NRI-97]
Rural transportation land: A Land Cover/Use category which consists of all highways, roads, railroads and associated rights- of-way outside urban and built-up areas; including private roads to farmsteads or ranch headquarters, logging roads, and other private roads, except field lanes. [NRI-97]
Urban and built-up areas: A Land Cover/Use category consisting of residential, industrial, commercial, and institutional land; construction sites; public administrative sites; railroad yards; cemeteries; airports; golf courses; sanitary landfills; sewage treatment plants; water control structures and spillways; other land used for such purposes; small parks (less than 10 acres) within urban and built-up areas; and highways, railroads, and other transportation facilities if they are surrounded by urban areas. Also included are tracts of less than 10 acres that do not meet the above definition but are completely surrounded by Urban and Built-up land. Two size categories are recognized in the NRI: (i) areas 0.25 to 10 acres, and (ii) areas greater than 10 acres. [NRI-97]
Water areas: A Land cover/use category comprising water bodies and streams that are permanent open water. [NRI-97]

Hospital staff focuses on patients and employees; new retirement plan
Plumas District Hospital expected to serve about 400 people during its four-day low-cost health screening, which concluded Oct. 10.
Individuals were invited to the North Fork Medical Building for testing that included a comprehensive metabolic panel; thyroid screening; complete blood count; cholesterol; triglycerides; and HDL, direct LDL and ratio.
Hospital Chief Executive Officer Doug Lafferty encouraged the public to take part if possible — whichever day they were able to participate.
Lafferty discussed the health fair during the hospital board's Oct. 3 meeting while responding to a question about whether the event was a moneymaker or money loser for the hospital.
"We're not making money; it's break-even," Lafferty said. "Our goal is to provide service and catch things early."
Doctor's report
Dr. Erin Barnes, the hospital's chief of staff, discussed two areas that the doctors have addressed to improve infant care.
She said that staffers became certified for neonatal resuscitation and were implementing a new screening for congenital heart disease when babies are discharged from the hospital.
New retirement plan
After 40 years, Plumas District Hospital is changing its retirement plan for its employees.
"There are 350 participants — past and present," Lafferty said. "I take this responsibility very seriously."
He said that ultimately it affects 1,200 to 1,500 lives, when one considers the families of the hospital employees.
Lafferty said that after much research, he recommended that the hospital end its relationship with VALIC and its individual annuity based plan, and move to a group plan with The Principal Financial Group, and Morgan Stanley as the advisor.
"This provides significant advantages to our employees," said Dr. Mark Satterfield, who, as a member of the finance committee, had reviewed the options.
Lafferty said that The Principal Financial Group provides a proven track record, serving 19 million customers.
Director Jon Kimmel supported the move to The Principal Financial Group, but said he had a "big problem" with choosing Morgan Stanley with representatives in Reno, instead of a local option, Edward Jones, with a representative in Quincy.
Satterfield said he reconciled that recommendation by equating it with decisions he makes regarding whether patients should be admitted to Plumas District Hospital or would be better served at a larger hospital like Renown in Reno.
Lafferty said that Morgan Stanley serves other large group plans, while Edward Jones focuses on individuals.
The board voted 4 to 1 to change retirement plans and use Morgan Stanley. Bill Wickman, Kathy Price and Valerie Flanigan joined Satterfield in voting yes, while Kimmel voted no.
At the end of the meeting, Flanigan returned to the subject, expressing her regret that the business couldn't have been kept in Quincy.
"As a local business owner, there's times that we lose out," she said. "I hope our vote was in the best interest of the employees."
Billing continues to be an issue for the hospital, with Kathy Price telling the rest of the board that she received complaints recently from people who had just received bills for services that had been rendered three years ago.
The hospital has addressed billing issues by hiring two outside firms to help process the backlog.
Lafferty reported that one group had collected $134,000, while the other brought in nearly $75,000. Both groups reported that there were past-timely filings, meaning the hospital would have to write off those charges, totaling more than $600,000. The hospital had already budgeted for some of the loss.
The hospital has also made internal changes so that staff can focus on current bills.
Good news
Lafferty reported that thanks to employee efforts, the hospital's workers' compensation rate had been reduced, saving the hospital $32,000.

Best Uses
Comments about OUTDOOR RESEARCH Kids' Adrenaline Gloves:
Fine for playing in the snow for short periods of time. Despite being goretex and warmth rating my sons fingers were freezing during long first time ski lesson. I think for skiing, mittens are just much warmer for little hands.
So bottom line, don't get as primary ski gloves but great for playing in snow for short periods (<1hr)
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Comments about OUTDOOR RESEARCH Kids' Adrenaline Gloves:
Both my kids received these gloves as an early Christmas gift and have liked the fact that the snow is kept off their wrists and does not go in their coats becauseof the gloves the longer coverage and the draw string. Also,the grip on the palm is good and allows them to open doors etc.
Comments about OUTDOOR RESEARCH Kids' Adrenaline Gloves:
After trying other brands, I will stick with Outdoor Research gloves and mittens for myself and my children. They are actually waterproof (unlike some other brands that only say their items are), and they fit well and are warm.
- not as pictured
Best Uses
Comments about OUTDOOR RESEARCH Kids' Adrenaline Gloves:
Great gloves, but I was specifically looking for long wrist straps that go around the wrist to keep them secure while taking them off on a ski lift! The gloves arrived and are just regular gloves with the standard tightening strap at the wrist.

Not every teacher your child gets will be his or her favorite teacher. So what do you as a parent to help your child get through the school year?
If your child is having problems with a teacher, try using these tips.
Document your child's complaints: When your son or daughter complains about his or her teacher, don't dismiss their complaints, according to Parenting.com. Instead, document their issues and the date that it occurred. Make sure you get as much detail from your child as possible.
Present solutions: Based on your child's complaints you can either help your child fix the situation on their own if it's minor, or you can talk to the teacher. If you are going to talk to the teacher, let your child know that you are going to have a discussion with his or her teacher about his or her concerns. This lets your child know that you care about the problem, but also that you're going to hear the teacher's side of it as well and come to a fair solution. For older kids, you can try giving your son or daughter tips on how to approach the teacher themselves to try to clear up any misunderstandings.
Meet with the teacher: Set up a meeting with your son or daughter's teacher and take the approach of trying to find a solution instead of accusing the teacher. The teacher may be defensive, so taking the approach of just trying to get to the bottom of the problem by presenting what your child told you and listening to the teacher's side may be more productive.

There seems to be two distinct schools of thought when it comes to pruning shooting lanes, most gravitate to one end or the other with a few folks hovering in the middle. On the one hand you have guys that don't like to cut anything they don't absolutely have to, in fact these extremist at times won't cut a single limb and just rely on the deer to step through a tiny opening at the moment of truth. You can probably tell by my description this mindset doesn't include me.The other school of thought is to make sure you have a clear shot with reasonable shooting lanes in any possible area the deer could travel through. The obvious down side is you open yourself up more to be picked off and you disturb the deer's living room at some point. I tend to lean more in this direction but am cautious as not to open things up too much and ruin a stand site.
The ramifications of too much or too little are huge. If you film your hunts like I do, you need to consider camera angle and not having to focus through a lot of limbs to capture the image; if you take too many limbs it leaves a huge hole that lends itself nicely as a focal point for the deer's line of sight. You want at least three good shooting lanes, preferably one to each side at an angle to your stand and another one straight in front of you. I realize many like to have their stand on the back side of a tree for concealment but this makes it very difficult if not impossible to film your own hunts.
An extendable power chain saw is very effective when you have many limbs or larger limbs to do prune
Where is the fine line between these two you may ask? I have an approach that may take advantage of the best of both words. Take some time during the late Winter months while out hiking or shed hunting and do your heavy pruning; you know that one big limb 20 yards out 18 feet up that always seems to be between you and the deer, take out a pole chain saw, extendable hand saw or even a small hand saw that you can duck tape to a sapling and get that limb down. Do your massive pruning directly after season if you have determined to keep that stand site. There are three benefits, one is having less of an impact on the deer you are hunting, two is you will open things up but allow new spring growth to come back in and camo up your area a bit; last but not least you are putting more tree buds on the ground for the deer to browse, why not do it when they need food the most?
Don't be afraid to use a large saw for nuisance trees in the winter months as long as the land owner doesn't mind.
Doing this late season pruning isn't a catch all, you will still need to pop a few little twigs out of the way come late summer or fall, but it will be with minimal disturbance. Late summer is a great time to slide in there and take a hand saw and quietly snag a few nuisance limbs. The perfect tool for small touch up or public land pruning where chainsaws may not be allowed is the Hooyman extending saw. This model reaches around ten feet, or can be used as just a hand saw, and folds up small enough to take on each hunt if necessary
I don't personally like climbing stands but if I did, this would be a must have tool
I find there is always that one little twig that seems to cause most of the problems, but I have eliminated that by toting this aluminum I beam framed saw along with me
Get out in the woods during late winter and don't let that one little limb or big limb keep you from your trophy next fall. You will be amazed how your success rate goes up once you take out the limb factor excuse. Remember to be safe when using saws in trees and always have a safety harness on.
Until next time, be safe and God blessMatt Cheever
Finding friends who share your passion for the outdoors is no easy task- particularly for some of us unfortunate souls who spend our days working and living within the confines of America's largest cities. This includes yours truly, and I am hoping some of you. So, how is it we can meet more like-minded people such as ourselves? I learned a few years ago from one of my own friends that the internet is a perfect place for this. In particular, the hunting forums that dot many of the larger websites. Here you will find a vast array of folks who like to do exactly what you do: hunt, hunt, and hunt some more. The great thing is many of them are your neighbors. And after several months of getting to know some of the other members on these forums, doors can suddenly open and you'll be on yet one more adventure, weapon in hand, tales by a fire, chasing a variety of North America's big game in places you only dreamed about.On top of all this, these forums spout a great deal of people with a great deal of knowledge to be had by any who ask. They have it all, from archery technical enthusiasts right down to do-it-yourself public land hunters.
This time of year, one of my personal forum favorites is the Bowhunting.com Shed Hunting Contest that is held here, on this website. Here, teams are formed from forum members who are scattered all across the U.S. to share in one common goal- to see which team can pluck from the earth the greatest amount of shed antlers. In the process, and between the short bouts of gentle ribbing that exists between forum friends, one can learn a great deal from veteran shed hunters like our very own, Tim Freund- more commonly referred to as TJF (his forum name).Tim is a well-known whitetail fanatic amongst our growing forum pages. Each year he piles up as many as 70 sheds while searching within a 20 mile radius of his North Dakota home. In between Tim's daily duties on a large grain farm he works for, he puts in about 4 hours of walking on each hunt- often traveling several miles along cut corn and bean fields where whitetail dig feverishly through the snow depths in search of food. And it's this digging by some of the bucks that begins to knock loose antlers, leaving them ready for any able-bodied hunter to collect. "I have four or five quick check areas where I can get in and out without pushing the deer this time of year. These areas are usually corn or soybean fields. Scout to see where the deer herd up in different areas and look in those feeding areas first", states Tim.
Armed with a good pair of binoculars, Tim searches for the sharp edges of an antler rather than concentrating on the entire thing. He looks for the tines or the curve of the main beam, both of which he'll tell anyone are the easiest features to pick out.
HOT food sources where deer gather in great numbers are the best areas to hit in the first few weeks of shed antler hunting. They allow you to get in without pushing the deer.
Bowhunting.Com forum member, Tim Freund, sits with a few of his finds after a quick walk over a good food source in early February.
"Typically", Tim continues, "in an early harsh winter, I tend to see 3.5 and older bucks shed the earliest. In normal winters I still tend to see older bucks shed first. Milder winters have us seeing all ages". His reasoning, "Early harsh winters have the older bucks still run down from rut. They weren't able to get back the fat reserves they lost during that time. Normal winters have them in better shape, but then they're more in tune to the other factors involved with casting antlers."
Tim believes 3.5 year old bucks are often the first to shed after being worn out from the heavy stress periods of the rut.
And this is just a small glimpse into what lies beyond this blog, in the forum section of this website. A great deal of knowledgeable hunters always ready and awaiting chances to teach and learn more of their craft. Picking a member like Tim's brain on what to look for and to bring while shed hunting can help even the most veteran antler hunter find a few extra pieces of late winter bone.

Now that we're well into February, reports of folks hitting the shed antler jackpot have been popping up left and right. Up until this past weekend's snow storm, conditions were absolutely perfect for sheds across most of the midwest. But now with a bit of a snow problem at hand, we all have a chance to stay inside for awhile and rethink our shed hunting strategy for the rest of the season. So if you've yet to strike it rich in antler gold this year, fear not. There is plenty of time and tons of bone yet to be found. For those looking for an extra edge in your search for sheds, I've listed a few simple tools that can without a doubt help you increase your shed count in 2011. Read on for more about how trailcams, supplemental feeds and "shed knocking devices" can help you bring home more bone this spring!1. Trail Cameras: Using trail cameras is a key to success for most deer hunters, but this time of year, it can be especially important to your shed hunting success. Trail cameras are the ultimate tool for determining the timing of antler casting in your area and this tiny bit of information can be crucial to your eventual shed count. By monitoring the antler status of your bucks, you can wait to start shed hunting until the majority of bucks have shed. This way you won't be wasting time searching before antler's are cast and you'll avoid spooking bucks off your property before they have the chance to drop their antlers in your area! I think in most cases it is a better idea to wait longer before shed hunting an area, than to go in too early and spook bucks out of the area that are still packing.
2. Attractants/Supplemental Feeds: A whitetail buck's life revolves around food during the winter and any time you can narrow down where a buck is feeding, you'll have a better chance of finding his sheds, By providing a consistent attractant and/or supplemental food source for deer (if legal in your state), you'll encourage deer to spend more time in the immediate area, which will then hopefully lead to more sheds being left near by! An attractant or supplement, such as Big & J's BB2 or a Trophy Rock , works great in combination with trail cameras to bring buck's into camera range too!3. Shed Knocking Devices: There are many different and creative ways to create a "shed knocking device", but the basic premise is the same. This "device" must somehow hit or ensnare an antler, to knock off soon to be shed antlers. This should then help you collect antlers in a common location, rather than having them scattered around the timber or larger food sources. One easy to build contraption I've heard of involves arranging 4 hay bales in the form of an X, with only their corners touching. This formation of bales should leave a square in the middle, in which you can then pour corn or a similar attractant. Hopefully when a buck puts his head down into the inner square or anywhere near a hay bale to eat the corn, he'll knock off a loose antler! There are plenty of other contraptions out there, so do some searching on Google or just be creative and put something together on your own! Good luck in your hunt for sheds these next few months and if you have any other recommended tools, let us know in the comments!
The offseason has officially begun for this Illinois bowhunter, but that doesn't mean that I am kicking back and taking it easy. In fact, I am as busy now as I am during the fall chasing mature bucks! But honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. A lot of exciting times are ahead for bowhunting.com and our entire Hunting Network, and I can wait to see how 2011 unfolds!
My little man, Craig, and our dog, Drake doing a little February shed hunting. They each found sheds and I wasn't able to find a single one! Hopefully my luck will change sooner rather than later.
In the midst of preparing for the Illinois and Wisconsin Deer Classics, I am particularly anxious waiting for the arrival of my new Mathews bow. I am counting down the days until my Mathews Monster shows up at the bowhunting.com office, and I can't wait to get it setup and start shooting. I haven't gotten a new bow for several years, so I am like a little kid on Christmas Eve waiting for my new Monster. The Monster is one of Mathew's fastest bows, and if you are a speed guy like I am, I encourage you to look up the Monster on Mathew's website. While you are at it, be sure to look at their new Z Series family of bows as well!
Not a single kernel of corn left!
Now is the perfect time to start planning for your 2011 hunting season, and I am in the process of looking for new acreage to hunt. I am a firm believer in having multiple properties to hunt throughout the course of the season. This allows you to keep your properties fresh for an entire season and prevents you from educating the deer too badly thus making the deer "easier" to hunt. My search for new land is in its infant stages and there are several resources available to the hunter who is willing to dig deep enough for the right information, however, I have had TREMENDOUS success already with nationalhuntingleases.com. If you are looking for new hunting ground for the 2011 hunting season, check them out on their website!
A shot of one my turnip plots that backs right up against one of my corn plots. The deer are really hitting these plots hard!
Despite the craziness of trying to find a new hunting lease, patiently (or more like Impatiently) waiting for my new bow, and preparing for the upcoming Illinois and Wisconsin Deer Classics, I managed to sneak out to my property with my son, Craig, to do a little scouting and shed hunting. The hard work I put in during the late summer on my turnip plots is definitely paying off because the deer are really hitting these particular plots hard! Spring is just around the corner, and now is the perfect time to start planning for this year's food plots and giving your deer some added nutrition! I also learned something about food plots; you can't plant too much corn! I made an assertive effort to establish and maintain quality corn plots to give the deer a food source rich in carbohydrates for the rough Northern Illinois winters, but I couldn't find a single kernel left. They really cleaned up my corn this year!
The deer are pawing through the snow to get to my turnip plots. It feels good to know that I have a sustainable food source on my property this late in the winter.
I was, however, pleased with how well my native grasses were doing even after heavy snowfall and bitter cold temperatures. Even in late February they are still providing excellent cover, and I even found several beds on the South facing slopes just like I thought I would! It feels good when all the hard work and planning in land management comes together and it feels even better when you can see the deer are benefitting from your work.
My Native Grasses are doing especially well despite the heavy snow fall. In this particular stand, I found several fresh beds that tell me the deer are still bedding in the grasses, which is a great sign. I can't wait to see how these grasses take off this Spring and Summer!
After investigating my food plots and admiring the work of my Native Grasses, my little man Craig and I tried our luck at a little shed hunting. When it was all said and done Craig had found two sheds, my dog Drake had found one, and yours truly had found zero. That's right; this dedicated bowhunter got skunked by a dog and a first grader when looking for antlers. Hopefully, I'll have a little better luck at finding antlers this fall than I've had this winter! Nevertheless, it was fun to get and enjoy the outdoors with my son and no matter how busy I am, I will always make time for that.
I hope you guys are as excited about this year as I am, I can hardly sit still I am so anxious about the opportunities and changes that are going to be happening in the coming months! With the snow melting, it's time to continue looking for sheds and start thinking food plots. Turkey hunters, it is almost time for you to get out there and starting chasing those Toms! Bring on the warmer weather!
Luckily, this morning I was able to get away for a few hours to a piece of public land to shed hunt. I have already been out numerous times but the snow has just been to deep for me to find any bone. My area over the past couple days finally experienced a big melt off of almost all the snow accumulation we have had piled up since the beginning of December. It was pretty wet out there today but I managed to stay dry for the most part, thanks to my Gore-Tex lined boots!
My morning started out slowly about an hour and a half into my walk I came across this old buck skull, his one antler had been chewed off by rodents. It's hard to say how long it had been laying there, a few years at least.
The day started off with this old weathered skull.
Just 45 minutes and a few hundred yards later my eyes finally caught a glimpse of my first shed of the 2011 season. As I approached it I could tell right away that it was unique and BIG! A very nice shed it turned out to be sporting a double main beam. I found this shed laying beneath a white oak where it appears the buck was digging for acorns. It had to be an early drop before our snow hit in early December as there was a good amount of leaves on top of the antler. It sure felt good finally breaking the ice on my shed season, I would have been happy with a forky for the first pick up!
My first shed of the year came in grand fashion by finding this monster!
Only seconds later I spotted this shed not 40 feet away underneath another white oak tree. It appears this buck also lost his shed while feeding on acorns, although I do not feel this antler was dropped near as long ago as the first. I at first thought that it may have been a match set since they were so close. Although, with a better look I could easily tell that they were not a match however. Picking them up only confirmed my thoughts as they are both left side sheds. I had to leave not 15 minutes after I found these as I had to get home to my son as my wife had to leave for work. It isn't easy leaving the woods when you know there may be the matches to these not very far away, especially when they were laying on public land. I hope to get back out tomorrow for a bit and put some time in the area looking to find the matches, or any other antlers laying around.
Only seconds after finding my first shed, my eyes met with this nice 5 point side.
There are many things you can do this time of year to increase your odds of killing a buck this fall. This is the time of year you can unravel buck movement, create bedding areas and hone your shooting skills.
The woods can reveal many secrets this time of year. The leaves have all disappeared from the trees opening up the forest and allowing us to see rubs, trails and in some cases scrapes much easier than earlier in the season. If some of your bucks did make it through the season and return to your woods this fall, they just might show up at some of the places they called home last fall. You can find their hangouts by locating clusters of rubs or scrapes. And if snow is on the ground it makes it easier to spot their favorite bedding areas. Trails show up well in the snow and could lead to discovering a new pinch point. Trail intersections are always good places to hang a stand.
Shed hunting can help by telling you which bucks made it through the season and will be even bigger next fall. It may even let you know about bucks you never knew existed in your woods.
So put on your cold weather gear and go for a hike in the deer woods. Now would be a good time to check out those bedding areas too. If you bump a buck now it more than likely won't cost you a chance at killing him next fall. And seeing exactly where he likes to hang out in certain wind conditions could lead to his demise.
Land Maintenance
Winter is a great time to do a little maintenance on your hunting grounds.
Take to the woods with your chain saw and create some bedding cover. By hinge cutting trees you can create a tangle of fallen tree tops bucks love to bed in. The thicker the better. This also creates instant browse from the buds and tender twigs on the fallen branches. Then when spring comes the added light reaching the forest floor will produce tremendous new growth from seed lying dormant under the leaves.
Spreading lime or fertilizer on food plots now will ensure the nutrients are taken down into the soil with the spring thawing and rains.
Over seeding your clover plots in late winter will fill in bare or thinning spots as well start new plants when the weather finally does break.
Sharpen Your Skills
Winter is a great time to join indoor leagues at your local Archery Pro Shop. Many of the better shops now have indoor 3D shoots, 3D pop up or video archery leagues. By keeping your hunting skills sharp throughout the year, you'll be ready when fall comes and that shot at your buck presents itself.
What are you doing this winter to increase your odds of tagging that wall hanger?
The first days of February often signal the dawn of shed hunting season for whitetail freaks across the country, so if you haven't already, let me be the first to ring in the new shed hunting season! Over the next two months thousands of shed heads will be hitting the crop fields, river bottoms and ridge tops of whitetail country in search of ivory white gold and I'll be right there along with them. Although my shed hunting success rate has been less than impressive in the past, as evidenced by the monster shed pictured above, I've been lucky enough to pick up a handful of great tips from some of the best in the business. So before you head out the door to find that fallen bone, consider a few of the shed hunting tips below and if you're the generous type, feel free to send a few of your finds my way!
- Be a strategic shed hunter. Rather than spending your shed hunting hours walking every inch of your property, focus on surveying only a few core areas and search them with a fine toothed comb. The high priority spots should be the sections of a primary food source that are getting hit the hardest, known buck bedding areas and main trails leading between the two. - Scout before shed hunting! Before you go shed hunting, do some work to determine those primary food sources right now. If you can pinpoint what corner of a food source is getting the most action this time of year, you can significantly narrow down your search and you'll also know what bedding areas to search the hardest. - When searching trails, pay special attention to any land feature that could possibly knock a buck's antler off. For example, creek or fence crossings, low hanging branches and thick brushy areas. Although I personally haven't seen it, I know many folks that have actually found sheds hanging in a tangle of branches or brush along trails. - Always bring binoculars. When beginning the search of a field, survey the surrounding area with a binocular scan. If you ever spot something that has even a slight possibility of being an antler, get closer and have a better look. A wise shed hunter once wrote, "when in doubt, check it out." - Consider training your dog to shed hunt! More and more folks are training their dogs to find antlers and I've been told that a well trained shed hunting dog should more than double your antler count. If you have a puppy you want to train, step #1 is to start getting your pup obsessed with antlers. Find a small shed and make it his new favorite toy. Once he gets hooked, he'll be just as big a shed head as you! Hopefully with these tips and a little good luck you'll be filling your truck with plenty of bone this year. So good luck shed hunting this spring and if you have any other great shed hunting tips, feel free to share them in the comments!
These recent warm temperatures and relatively dry weather has been great for those of us who want to get any early start on our food plots. Unlike last year I am already ahead of schedule by two weeks which is always a good thing!
My fertilzer tests were done early, the results are back already and fertilzer has been spread. Additionally the majority of my fields have been burned off or mowed off, my clover has been planted and I just had a large group of seedling trees planted as well. I have to admit I am feeling ahead of the game. I decided not to chase any turkeys this spring, but instead to focus on making adjustments so I can hopefully put myself in a position to havest a nice buck this fall. So far things have been going very well and I'm really pleased with the progress I've made.
This spring I am going to test forage beans and a sorghum plot to see what kind of wildlife I can attract, and how well those plots hold up.
As you may have seen in some of my earlier Blogs and video posts, shed antler hunting was a sucess this year as I did find a few more then usual. Myself and a couple good friends of mine picked up quite a few antlers in and around my winter food plots, including the matched set to a buck I call "Flyer". He is #1 on my hit list for this fall.
With the bowhunting season less than 5 months away now (in Wisconsin anyways) I'm starting to think about some new gear and getting everything tuned up this summer. After my trips to the ATA Show and both the Iowa and Wisconsin Deer & Turkey Expos I've put together a short list of some new products that you should be keeping an eye on for this fall. If you're in the market for some new gear you may want to check these out.
Mathews Z7 compound bow - I shot this bow at the Wisconsin show and man is it smooth and fast. Mathews has always been regarded as one of, if not the best, bow manufacturer out there and it's not hard to see why with bows like the Z7. Also, if you haven't read the full blown compound bow report that we put together on of all the new bows for this year, check it out.
Camtrakker MK10 Scouting Camera - everyone knows I'm a trail camera junkie and having tested the new MK10 recently I think there may be a few more of these in my scouting arsenal come summertime. This new camera takes 5 MP photos both by day and night, and has the option of either a standard strobe flash or infrared flash, which is a very unique and awesome feature. You can purchase the MK10 right here on Bowhunting.com by clicking this link.
New Archery Products 2 Blade BloodRunner - I shot the 3 blade version of this broadhead last year and was super impressed with it's performance. Now that the 2 blade version is out with it's enormous 2 1/16" cutting diameter I'm looking forward to heading into the field with these on the end of my arrow this fall.
Reconyx new Hyperfire Series Trail Camera - although I haven't had a chance to use one in the field yet, if these new cameras perform anythng like my RC55's and RC60's do I think they will be a super hot ticket for bowhunters this fall.
Pine Ridge Archery Ground Blind Camera Mount - last year I purchased a new ground blind to hunt from with my son, and we had a blast together. The trouble was, with two of us in the blind it got really cramped with my big video tripod. This new camera mount from the guys at Pine Ridge Archery takes up barely any room and it works for both filming your own hunts as well as filming with another person. Great tool!
Havalon Piranta Knives - in case you missed our video review of this product earlier this year, you have to check these things out. They feature a replaceable razor blade which means you get the sharpest blade possible every time. No more messing with sharpeners or trying to use a dull knife when field dressing or caping out your next trophy.
Knight & Hale Ultimate Fighting Purr Call - even though I may not be chasing turkeys this spring, I know a lot of you are! This new call from Knight & Hale is an entire fighting purr system in one compact unit that can be used with just one hand. Click here to purchase in the Bowhunting.com store.
Knight & Hale Pack Rack - Another great compact calling option from Knight & Hale is the Pack Rack and new Pack Rack Magnum. This compact call simulates the sound of two bucks fighting and is contained in one compact package that provides ease of mobility and use. Great for bowhunters who want to pack light and not lug around a full set of rattling antlers. Click here to purchase.
Summit Treestands Switchblade - Summit has long been known for the comfort of their treestands and the Switchblade is no exception. The Switchblade is basically the same as the popular Viper in a new collapsible version for easier transport in and out of your hunting area. Look for these in the Bowhunting.com shopping cart later this year.
Code Blue Grave Digger lures - available in Whitetail Doe Estrous and Whitetail Buck Urine, these lures stay strong regardless of weather conditions. This means you won't have to refresh your mock scrapes and scent stations as frequently even after it rains. Be on the lookout for these products in the Bowhunting.com cart later this summer when they become available.
Another thing I want to mention are a few of the new websites that have recently been designed and built by us here at the Rhino Group. For those of you that don't know, we develop custom websites for many businesses in the hunting industry. Below are a few of the more recent websites we built that you may want to check out.
thelegendsofthefall.com - The Legends of the Fall is a brand new TV show airing this summer on the Outdoor Channel featuring a few notable faces that you may have seen over the years on Drury Outdoors videos and TV shows. Mike & Bonnie McFerrin, Eric Hale, Chris Ward, Mark Luster, and Dave Bogart have teamed up to create this new show that is packed full of both monster bucks and good laughs.
robinsonoutdoors.com - This new website for Robinson Outdoor Products (Scent Blocker & Scent Shield) features a complete upgrade of their existing shopping cart along with a ton of great interactive features like a trophy gallery, video clips from popular TV shows like Michael Waddell's Bone Collector, Tech Tips, and much more.
legacyquestoutdoors.com - also known as the Mossy Oak Rustiks brand, Legacy Quest Outdoors offers a variety of products made from rustick and antique woods that have been collected from a variety of sources including old barns, railroads, bridge trussels, and other unique places.

All in all I am looking forward to a great year and I want to take a few moments to mention a new friend of mine and more importantly the doctor that has saved my son's life. My son Craig, age 5 at the time, was diagnosed with an extremely rare health issue - increased intracranial venous pressure over a year ago. This high pressure in his brain caused him to lose vision in his left eye and also caused a subdural hematoma (blood inside his head). Dr. Ali Shaibani was able to figure out Craig's problems had recognized that Craig was missing his left sigmoid transverse sinus and had a large occlusion in right one. This was causing backpressure in Craig's head and if untreated would have lead our little man to even worse places. Dr. Shaibani was able to successfully place a stent in Craig's brain to decrease the pressure. This is a very rare case and Craig is on the recovery track. The cool part is I have been able to get to know Dr. Shaibani more closely and wouldn't you know it - he wants to start bowhunting! I am very glad that I've been able to kick start his hunting opportunities and I look forward to helping him harvest his first deer this fall.
Dr. Shaibani with his new Diamand Stud bow setup, purchased right here at Bowhunting.com. Thanks for being so good at what you do!
My little man starting his way to a healthy recovery.

South Dakota native Grant Schmidt was nominated for the 2015 U.S. Army All-American Bowl, one of 400 in the nation to receive a nomination. He became the first South Dakota resident thought of to verbally commit to a football scholarship at Ohio State. / Stu Whitney/The Sioux Falls (S.D.) Argus Leader
Grant Schmidt
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — By the end of his manic Monday on Ohio State�s campus, Grant Schmidt found time to breathe.
The Sioux Falls (S.D.) Roosevelt offensive tackle had wowed the Buckeyes during a series of workouts before touring 102,000-seat Ohio Stadium and having a talk with Urban Meyer.
That�s when the 6-foot-6, 274-pound senior informed Meyer he was committing to the Buckeyes, joining a storied Big Ten powerhouse that has produced seven national championships and seven Heisman Trophy winners. It is thought Schmidt is the first South Dakotan to earn a scholarship with the Scarlet and Grey.
�Since I was younger, I�ve had my sights set on Ohio State,� said Schmidt, a four-star recruit who is ranked 22nd nationally at his position in the class of 2015 by Rivals.com. �It was amazing to walk into that stadium and think about what could happen. Getting this opportunity is a dream come true.�
Schmidt got the scholarship offer from the Buckeyes in May. He also had offers from Minnesota, Iowa State, Washington State, Utah, North Carolina, Cincinnati and South Dakota State. He narrowed his top three to Ohio State, Minnesota and Iowa State.
�Some of those schools were up-and-coming programs that would have been good choices, but Ohio State took it to another level,� Roosevelt coach Kim Nelson said. �Those other schools are playing for bowl games, but at Ohio State they�re playing for national championships. This is a big deal for Roosevelt, Sioux Falls and the entire state.�
It will be a bit of culture shock for Schmidt. The population for the entire state of South Dakota is about 833,000. Columbus has a population of about 809,000.
�It appeals to me that there�s never been anyone from South Dakota to ever go (to Ohio State) for football,� Schmidt told The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer. �It would be great to be the first one to do that. It would be a big thing for our state.�
Schmidt�s commitment to the Buckeyes, who won 24 straight before losing in the 2013 Big Ten title game, puts him in elite company with recent South Dakota high school standouts Nate Gerry (Nebraska), Matt VandeBerg (Iowa), Derek Farniok (Oklahoma), Tom Farniok (Iowa State) and Riley Reiff (Nebraska).
But Ohio State could offer the biggest stage of all, especially if Schmidt makes the sort of impact Meyer and offensive line coach Ed Warinner expect him to make.
�Several schools thought that Grant could play very early in college, and Ohio State is one of them,� Nelson said. �They had him high on their board and are just hoping that they can keep him for three years. They wanted him bad.�
Schmidt explored the Columbus campus Monday with his parents, Jay and Sharon, after attending Ohio State�s instructional camp Sunday with some of the nation�s top prospects. Some found it risky for him to attend the camp since he already had an offer, but the self-confident Schmidt wanted to challenge himself against the best.
�You get a lot more competition than you'd see at camps around the (Upper Midwest),� Schmidt said. �I didn�t go against any guys who weren�t four- or five-star recruits, and that�s the best way to bring out your weaknesses and showcase your strengths.�
Schmidt fared fine in 1-on-1 drills and individual testing, going 9-feet-4 in the broad jump and recording a 29-inch vertical leap.
His combination of size and efficient footwork led to serious interest in summer 2013 when Schmidt was named MVP at a Minnesota camp and hit 4.9 seconds in the 40-yard dash.
Offers started to roll in, but there were questions about his upper-body strength (he hasn�t yet benched 300 pounds) after he helped lead the Riders to the Class 11AAA state final.
�He still has things to work on,� Nelson said. �But Grant did a good job of going to the right camps and being seen by the right people. He�s a big guy who can move well, and that created interest.�
Things accelerated this spring when Warinner � who is Meyer�s co-offensive coordinator � visited Sioux Falls to observe Schmidt working out, which led to an offer from the Buckeyes.
Now the Buckeyes expect him to get big, with Schmidt estimating he�ll weigh about 300 pounds by the time he takes the field in Columbus.
�I want to work my way up there, but my goal is not to be chubby,� he said. �Some guys race to 300 and then turn into fat slobs. I don�t want to do that.�
With Ohio State lean on tackles, there is a possibility Schmidt will not have to redshirt. The safer route would be to let him develop strength and size before turning him loose in 2016.
Either way, he still has a high school season ahead of him.
�(The recruiting attention) makes your head swim a little bit, but you try to keep your mind focused on playing football,� Schmidt said. �We�ve got other guys on the team getting recruited, and we�ve decided to set that aside and concentrate on winning a state championship.�

I do, I make a couple hundred a year on painting commissions.
But I would like to try a variety of things, the only ones I get are for paintings, which I love, but it would be fun to do other projects.
I'd also like to follow in my step-grandmother's footsteps and become a real good artist like she is.

Aug 22, 2012
I'm not in an urgent need for money right now, but I'd like to dabble in doing commissions, as a side income. It'd help discipline myself and I would like to do it, but there are reasons I still haven't get to that.
I'm afraid I don't have enough skill and motivation to finish a commission on time. Also, I'm afraid that my commissioner might not be satisfied with my work. It doesn't help that I don't really understand how payment works over the Internet, and I worry that there may occur problems with it. That'd be so annoying...
In short, I have neither confidence nor knowledge to do commissions.

This is true, but black and white make enough grey as it is. Colours hold so much sometimes less is better. There should be a good balance realy

in black and white, thought you meant ONLY black and white, if i get bored of seeing the world as it is i just lay on the grass and close my eyes and sleep for like a good 10-15 minutes, when its done i see everything in purple or green or blue, and when i blink its an explosion of colours! haha pretty interesting, idk im weird and i got bored alot

I'd like to, but my art isn't that good and I don't really know why people would ask me to draw for them when I have friends that could do a better job...... I don't know, plus, I'd feel bad if I charged people for my art. Especially when it's something I enjoy and it would give me a new challenge.

Radioactive iodine treatment is used to treat certain thyroid diseases and thyroid cancer. The procedure is done with a radioactive form of the element iodine. Radioactive iodine is taken up by the thyroid gland. There it treats thyroid disease by destroying the cells. The radioactivity is not spread to other parts of the body.

It may be done to treat:
Possible side effects and complications of radioactive iodine therapy include:
Pregnant women are at an increased risk of complications. The procedure may be harmful to the fetus. It should not be done in pregnant women. Nursing mothers should stop breastfeeding for at least a week after the procedure.
You will be given some tablets or liquids that contain radioactive iodine. You will swallow the tablets. The iodine will be naturally taken up by the thyroid.
At least an hour
The treatment is painless.
Any radioactive iodine that is not taken up directly by the thyroid will be passed through the urine. Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions. This may include:
The majority of people who undergo the treatment for hyperthyroidism will have their thyroid levels return to normal within 8-12 weeks. However, in a small number of people, a second dose of radioactive iodine treatment is needed.
A follow-up visit with your doctor will be scheduled 4-6 weeks after treatment. Radioactive active iodine treatment can cause hypothyroidism (low thyroid function). This can occur at any time after treatment. It may be temporary or permanent. Your doctor will need to check your thyroid status every few months until levels are stable.
Call your doctor if any of these occur:
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Oswald's Visits to the Cuban and Soviet EmbassiesPortion of Warren Commission Exhibit 2564, a copy of the visa application submitted at the Cuban Embassy, featuring a photo of Oswald. Photo from Warren Commission Exhibits, Volume XXV. On September 27 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald apparently visited the Cuban and Soviet embassies in an attempt to obtain a visa for travel through Cuba to the Soviet Union (travel to Cuba as a final destination was not permitted by the U.S.). The Soviets told Oswald that he would have to wait months to obtain a visa, and the Cubans told him that without a Soviet visa he could not obtain an "in-transit" visa through Cuba. After a heated argument with a Cuban Consulate official, Oswald departed without succeeding and proceeded to Dallas on October 3. The simple story told above, largely parroting the Warren Report, is layered with mysteries. While there is some powerful evidence that it was indeed Oswald who appeared at the embassies, most notably the photo shown on the right side of this page which was attached to the visa application, Cuban Consul Azcue told the HSCA that the person he argued with was not Lee Harvey Oswald. Apparently some other consular employees believed the same. While Sylvia Duran, with whom Oswald dealt most directly, believed it was Oswald, even she had described him to interrogators as "short" and "blond." If it was Oswald, why did the photo surveillance of the Cuban and Soviet Embassies fail to pick up a single picture of him? And why did FBI agents in Dallas, in the wee hours of the morning of November 23, determine that an imposter was using Oswald's name in a taped phone call to the Soviet Embassy at the time of this visit? The CIA's Mexico City Station sent cables to headquarters in early October, reporting on the Oswald visit. But these cables described a person who is clearly not Oswald, and instead matches a different person picked up on photo surveillance cameras. In response, officers at CIA headquarters in Washington sent a cable back to Mexico City correcting the description, while within hours these same officers passed on the incorrect description to the FBI, State Department, and Navy. When questioned about this in 1994, CIA officer Jane Roman said "I'm signing off on something I know isn't true." Additionally, senior CIA officers, including the Mexico City Station Chief and the Chief of Research and Analysis in CounterIntelligence, have disputed the completeness of the record of cables we now have.
