OCT 20, 2023 Southern Illinois proving grounds; Join us today for a full length and indepth fall food plot update video as I re plant some of our fall food plots for deer here on our Southern Illinois property, since we got hammered with 2 separate droughts this late summer and early fall. Some of my fall food plots got scorched from the droughts, and a few simply got overtaken by insisious weeds! So in today's Southern Illinois land management episode I will be re planting the fall food plots that got burned up by the droughts, or got overtaken by the weeds. I'll be using my 2023 KIOTI NS6010 hst cab tractor with a TYE NO TILL drill to re plant by no till drilling some of the food plots. Of course this is PRECISELY why I always stagger my food plots to help mitigate Mother Nature's wild swings when it comes to growing some tonnage for fall food plots! Also in today's land management update episode we will be no till drilling one of my food plots that I experimented with the Buffalo food plot system. In this particular food plot I crimped the grains and grass/weeds this spring, and kept it burned off this summer so that I could drill this plot to see just how the Buffalo food plot system would work for me. So in today's episode I will no till drill this Buffalo food plot and then compare it to my other fall food plots that I did traditional tillage on and compare the difference. To be honest I had high hopes for the Buffalo food plot system, but in reality, I was sorely disappointed! And if you watch today's full episode you will see why! So weather related food plot failures such as what I experienced this year are why I stagger all of my food plots to try to mitigate the extreme weather swings that we experience down here in the Mid South, as we are located in the middle of a sub tropic weather zone and we experience some pretty severe weather swings down here. (We are in FAR Southern Illinois, however we are physically farther South than the Northern part of the state of Kentucky!).

If you own or lease your own deer hunting spot, there are a lot of different land management practices that you can implement to continually increase your deer hunting odds at seeing and harvesting that once in a lifetime big buck! In today's episode we'll continue playing 4d chess deer hunting land management. I do strategic bush hogging on our Southern Illinois hunting land to maximize our odds at seeing the most deer and ultimately the plan is to bring in some of the best bucks in the area through land management and tactical practices. Since I've been a little behind on my land management this year, some of our fields have become overgrown to the point of being over 5 foot high brush. Knowing where deer travel on our property I will do some 'tactical bush hogging' with my KIOTI RX7320 tractor and a 12' batwing mower. With some vision, some hunting experience and an imagination there are many ways that you can improve your deer hunting property. #kapperoutdoors #kapperoutdoors2 #kioti #kiotirx7320 #bushhog #bushhogging #southernillinoisland #huntingland #deerfoodplots #deerhunting #landmanagement #landclearing

This does not look right! Join me for a Southern Illinois evening farm pond bass fishing adventure as our cat Prim joins us for a trek around both of our Southern Illinois farm ponds as I try to catch at least a 3 pound bass! Recently we hired a pond management specialist, Jeff Hoffman, and we implemented a 'whole pond' management system, including 4 pond aerator diffusers, a protein fish feeder, killing off the invasive weeds, and adding pond dye to help reduce the weed growth in the pond. Also we have been culling the small bass that were overpopulating our Southern Illinois farm ponds. So when I hooked into a nice bass but saw the extreme bulging eyeballs, I was a little concerned that it was the result of not enough food for the big bass. But I contacted Jeff and we went over the evidence and he determined that the big bass with bulging eyes was likely a one off, meaning it did not appear to be from a lack of food for the bass. Other things that can cause bulging eyes in bass include a nitrogen imbalance or a bacterial infection. The other bass that we have been catching have been fine. What a cool early October bass fishing adventure though for a weeknight!

Happy Thursday all! It's been a few days since we did an update on our Southern Illinois VRBO cabin build update so join us for an up to the minute update to see how the progress is coming along. In today's update the interior trim is completely done, the back patio (porch only, the final patio will be poured in a few days) concrete has been poured and stamped, and the front patio missing section was finished as well. The builders have not sealed all of the interior knotty pine, aka car siding, which was a big accomplishment! The plumber finished the plumbing rough in and had to bust out some concrete and re align a couple of the shower and bathtub drains to fix a mishap in alignment, but fear not, with Casey the plumber on the scene all is well!

Another equipment real life field test! I recently upgraded my ATN OTS thermal monolcular to the upgraded ATN OTS 4t 1.5-15x 640x480 thermal monocular viewer. For the cost of the upgrade I felt that since I made a $2,000 investment but the quality was not the greatest, for another few hundred dollars I went ahead and upgraded to a higher level of thermal monocular, which is the ATN OTS 4T 1.5-15x thermal monocular. Join me from our country living, and very remote Southern Illinois farm that is surrounded by the Shawnee National forest, as we explore the pitch black night landscape and see all kinds of wildlife and wild critters. Also while testing out this Thermal monocular our cat, Prim, decided that she wanted to stay out later than her bedtime so I used the ATN OTS 4T thermal monocular to find her in the dark, not only hunting a mouse in a rock pile, but also lurking around the house in the dark while I am trying to call her to get back in the house! lol. OK, all kidding aside this is a great thermal monocular and I have a long way to go before I really get to maximizing it's true thermal vision capabilities! But so far it has been fun learning it!

Don't even ask how we accidentally did this, but just know that if YOU make this same mistake and remove your tactacam reveal cellular trail cam SIM cards and get them mixed up that there is NO way of matching them back up again! And your tactacam reveal cellular trail cams will NOT work with any other SIM cards, they must have the ONE SIM card that was matched up to the camera at the factory. And of course, there is NO way of matching them back up once you remove them and get them mixed up! But fear not, there is a back door way of getting your tactacam reveal cell cams back up and running with a little perserverence!! Best of luck to all of you deer hunters and tactacam trail camera addicts like me!! #tactacam #tactacamreveal #cellulartrailcam #kapperoutdoors #southernillinoisland OH and speaking of tactacam reveal cellular trail cams, here is a the link to my field comparison between the tactacam reveal and the Spypoint cellular trail cams: https://youtu.be/1tGnVA7BVG8

Southern Illinois Project 211! Who was with us during that megalithic land improvement project?? Wow! Well I finally got back out there just the other day and here is a preview video of how our Kapper Outdoors Project 211 is looking now in Sept 2023! In today's preview video you'll get a good idea of just how far this once overgrown and out of compliance CRP property has come! When we bought it, it was pretty much a jungle and the CRP (Conservation Reserve program) was out of compliance. The previous owners had thought that they had it back in compliance, but that was not the case. So in working with the US farm service bureau we crafted a whole new CRP plan that transferred nearly 80 acres (I'm going be memory at the moment but it was a LOT of acres to plant new trees in!) from grassland CRP over to tree planting CRP for a host of reasons. The wildlife benefit will be immense, and the new property owners will reap the future CRP rewards with a large chunk of this CRP plan being in a new tree planting/reforestation as the native tree planting CRP plan holds a higher priority than grassland CRP plans.

Yep, since it was 10 feet in the air, the KIOTI NS6010 cab tractor was the right piece of equipment for the job!! Join me for a quick Kapper farm vlog as I demolish a wasp nest that is on one of my favorite banks hunting blinds on our Southern Illinois hunting land! The KIOTI NS6010 cab tractor fit the bill exactly for what I needed to do. First I pulled up close enough to spray the wasp nest by just cracking open the tractor cab door and then I closed it ASAP to give the wasp spray a minute to start kicking in. Then I used the Kioti NS6010 tractor loader and bucket to slowly pull the wasp nest down off of the banks deer blind. After the wasp nest came apart I sprayed it again. I then finished off getting as much of the wasp nest down as I could with the tractor loader and sprayed it one more time for good measure!! #kapperoutdoors #kapperoutdoors2 #kappervlog #wasp #waspnestremoval #waspnest #huntingland #southernillinoisland #deerstand #deertower

Wow! After decades of many different drag types & configurations I decided this year I was going to invest in a couple of 'real' drag harrows. And boy I was NOT disappointed! First here are some video links to some of the other field uses with the Delta S3 drag harrow: THIS NEW DELTA S3 HARROW IS A GAME CHANGER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSJ0B4rMVSg GRADING NEAR MILE LONG GRAVEL DRIVEWAY WITH DELTA S3 HARROW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRXu1PySrmU Join me for today's episode as I introduce the S3 Delta Harrows 500 REG 6X8 Section W/DB (Draw Bar). Here is the website for the S3 Delta Harrows: https://s3deltaharrows.com/ I purchased and ordered them through Little Tractor & Equipment from their Harrisburg, Illinois location. My cost was $615 each, which is really a very good price considering what you are getting, the very heavy duty nature of them, and the ability to use it in 4 different ways. I used them for a half dozen food plots already and I also used them behind an old 12' John Deere disc and for very wet dirt, they nearly performed a miracle using the most aggressive setting. They even deleted my tractor tire tracks in very wet dirt, which is saying alot. I've never had a different drag that could do that in wet dirt. I also ran them up our mile long gravel driveway to quickly create a new gravel finish and prolong the potholes and deterioration without needed more gravel or driveway stone. Stay tuned to the channel for future uses and testing of this S3 Delta harrow as I will be putting it to use for several types of land management, food plots and gravel driveway grading applications. Thanks. #kapperoutdoors #s3deltaharrow #kapperoutdoors2 #foodplots #foodplotsfordeer #foodplotdrag #soilpreparation #graveldriveway #grading #gradinggravel #gradingdirt #atvdrag #fallfoodplo

While cutting a new access road through the woods on our Southern Illinois project property I came across this mammoth sized, invasive species tree/bush, an Autumn Olive, also known as a Russian olive. This is a raw video clip of the real time video of removing this very large and sprawling autumn olive tree and then trying to compact it into a manageable slash pile along a new access road through the woods that I have been working on clearing. Thanks for joining me today and if this is your first video, we post daily land management and land improvement videos to both of our Southern Illinois YouTube channels.

Sharon here! It's almost fall and the hickory nuts on our wooded homestead are just starting to drop. The race is on to find them before the squirrels and chipmunks do! Take a ride with me as take you deep in the woods and show you some beautiful nature scenery and teach you what I learned (the hard way) about the different types of hickory's we have on our property. The fall like weather has me wanting to stay in the woods all day enjoying the sights and sounds of birds, wildflowers, mushrooms, elderberry and so much more. #sharon@kapper outdoors,@kapperoutdoors # homesteading, #foraging #nature, #explore

Cutting a new 1/2 mile access road through the woods-Day 3. In today's episode we'll head back over to Project 291, which is our Southern Illinois project property (the whole project series is documented over @KapperOutdoors2.0 channel, head over there if you'd like to follow the entire series or catch other recent episodes). I'll be using my bobcat e42 r2 series mini excavator as I clear a new access road through some deep woods and very severely overgrown areas, cedar thickets and severe tree and weed overgrowth complete with vines that envelop a half dozen big trees at a time, and they can be quite challenging trying to get them all separated! #kapperoutdoors #kapperoutdoors2 #kapperoutdoorsproject291 #bobcatequipment #bobcate42 #southernillinoisland #southernillinois #clearingland #landclearing

I witnessed the strangest thing today on our Project 291 Southern Illinois hunting land. I have been working on cutting a new access road through the woods for the last week and on day 2 while I was walking back to my truck I saw a doe bedded right in the middle of my 'rough cut' dirt road. She was in the shade, and more specifically bedded in a fully shaded spot in the new dirt road. As I approached her of course she took off, but as I inspected the spot that she was bedded down in I was pretty surprised. Most of the deer beds that I have come across in the woods appeared to be just 'flattened' if you will. Just like the deer plop down for a daily nap, or in a specific spot to get out of the wind. But as I walked up on this deer bedded in the dirt I noticed that the deer bed was carefully crafted and cleaned of debris! Check it out and let me know what you think, but the deer bed was very carefully crafted and shaped to the outline of the doe as she was bedded down. The debris hill ran along her back as she was bedded in the dirt. Anyway, I thought it was interesting as I had never really seen this before so I thought I would share it with you. Happy friday and I hope you all have a great weekend! And best of luck to all of you deer land managers and food plotters with all of your fall food plots! #deer #deerhabitat #deer2023 #kapperoutdoors #kapperoutdoors2 #kapperoutdoorsproject291 #southernillinoisland #southernillinois #deerwildlife

This near straight up UTV hill climb was awesome! Of course before I actually did it, I wasn't so sure! LOL. Join me for another fun video and life adventure as I join the crew of Honda Motor sports for a media ride event as they roll out the new 2022 Honda Pioneer 1000 UTV's!

But after the near straight up trail climb, which was a pretty cool adrenaline rush for this new Grandpa..
