The cement bunkers are what the "real" farmers are using here to when corn is cut to silage. silos are almost as obsolete as the corn crib. A lot of guys are just using huge piles on big concrete pads. 5+ acre pads isn't uncommon.

If these are wild plum... I found a great seed source tree for my shit pile project. This is behind our shop and yields well according to Roger. I can tarp. The ground and nobody will care. I'd then toss the plums into each of my shit piles and see if they take.

Looks like plum to me. Do you have a bucket started for the shit piles already? You can have this in the truck for collection purposes when you are driving around for work: www.amazon.com/Reliance-Products-Luggable-Portable-Gallon/dp/B000FIAPXOSeeing many planters rolling down there yet? My inlaws put in 120 acres of corn on April 13th south of Rock Valley.

We're too wet to plant here. Most I've seen is around New Ulm

Looks like you can get as many as you want SD. I've yet to find a wild plum here in NH but, we supposedly have them.

Nice video SD. They were drumming all day long this past weekend. I flushed up a dozen or so walking in an out of my orchard. Never got as close as you did though. Any woodcock there? I saw one on Saturday.

We jumped a woodcock while turkey hunting in West Virginia on Friday. We seem to see more every year.
I have not heard or seen a grouse in at least 10 years.

So we struck out mushroom hunting yesterday, but still had a great day in the woods. Always amazes me what you can find when u wander around with your head down. Had a few firsts yesterday. Cousin and I accidentally sprayed mud in our shorts. We were standing in a spot having a discussion about which direction to go and all of a sudden a hen pheasant exploded outta the grass not six feet away. She was holding tight in these guys. I also stuck my face into a cluster of plum flowers and was blown away at how fragrant they were.

We continue to find antlers (not sheds)every year we walk this place. We came across 3 trophy SW MN bucks that didn't make it to shedding. I think they have a bad coyote problem here because we found 7 kills and only covered about a third of this refuge.

We did find one patch of pheasant backs, but I was in no hurry to prove my intestinal fortitude with them again.
