Ventrac Tractor FOR REAL - Versatility on a Steeper Pond Dam on Joe's Tennessee Property
First of all here is the link to @Joe The Farmer s Youtube channel, check him out I think you will enjoy his channel! https://www.youtube.com/c/JoeTheFarmer
In today's episode I got to test out Joe's Ventrac 4500 on his Tennessee pond dam, which was pretty steep. I have to say, this Ventrac mower was totally awesome! Very stable, NOT tippy at all, great traction, plenty of mowing power for wet weeds and grass, and plenty of power! Join us today for my real world testing of this Ventrac mower at Joe the Farmer's Tennessee property and some fresh air and sunshine!
(Ventrac company information):
The Ventrac tractor offers customers true versatility with over 30 industrial grade attachments. No matter the season, Ventrac is ready to serve its owner. From mowing tough brush, moving mulch, grinding stumps, preparing the soil for seeding, trenching, blowing leaves, removing snow, aerating lawns and more, the Ventrac is an adaptable tractor for year-round use. Ventrac is perfectly suited for golf course turf management, municipalities, parks, universities, landscapers, hobby farmers, and homeowners.
Ventrac tractors excel on slopes and rough terrain with a unique FlexFrame design which articulates in the center, giving the tractor more maneuverability in tight or compact spaces than a traditional sub-compact. The patented drive controls make operation smooth, comfortable and fun. The FlexFrame allows the front and rear axles to oscillate independently so all four drive tires remain in better contact with the ground, even on the roughest terrain.

Ditch crossings; Culvert? Bridge? Or Ford crossing? How to cut a ditch crossing on your land
Bridge? Culvert pipe? Or cutting a 'Ford' ditch crossing on your land? Super hilly terrain. Lot's of rocks and boulders. Tight budget. Cutting a new road through the woods & cutting a Ford ditch crossing. Join us today for another very interesting and successful deep woods land management project, and land improvement project as I tackle another day on this client property located near the Garden of the Gods in Southern Illinois. This is VERY steep and very remote country here so there is NO excavation job that will be 'easy' to accomplish! In today's mission I'll be using my bobcat e42 R2 series mini excavator to cut a new road through the woods and then I will tackle a steep ditch crossing that has been washed out, and is very steep to even walk across it. Join me for today's episode as I walk you through the process of the most affordable and easiest method to create a new ditch crossing to get you from one side of the ditch to the other! Do you own land? Do you lease land? Is there a ditch that is an obstacle for you being able to get to the back of the property? What about getting a tractor back there, or a side by side? This is a very common problem for landowners in hilly terrain and today I'll show you the most affordable and cost effective method of cutting a ditch crossing with a mini excavator or a tractor.
In case you are new to the channel here are the first couple of episodes of our latest client land management & land improvement project series:

Mini Excavator vs. BIG Hackberry tree! #shorts
This one tree took me over 30 minutes of digging to uproot it! This was a recent land management project here in Southern Illinois where I was expanding a path in the woods, making it wider so that the landowner could
get a truck and trailer through this road back into the woods. Check out our channel for full project videos of all kinds of land management projects, land investing, habitat improvements and much more country living adventure!

Is This The Same BUCK? 2021 vs. 2022 THE OREO BUCK-Southern Illinois deer hunting fun
Nice HD video clip of a beautiful 3 year old Illinois buck! Today is just a quick episode to see what you think as to whether this is the same buck or not. Last year, 2021, the 'Oreo' buck was very visible all over our property, the entire season, and we passed him many times. I called him the oreo buck because one of his antlers was noticeably darker then the other. Recently I got a nice HD still trail cam picture and an HD trail cam video of a beautiful buck that I think IS the Oreo buck. The buck appears to be a 3 year old based on my experience. Let me know what you think. Is this the Oreo buck from last year or a different buck? And stay tuned for food plot updates and some Southern Illinois deer hunting action and fun as my son and his buddy Justin will be coming back again soon for some bow hunting during the Illinois rut!
Here is a great video from last year as my buddy Phil got a nice buck, but the action was just amazing!

Building Wildlife Pond, aka 'deer watering hole,' Core trench & dam, PART 2 of 2
In today's episode we are not only improving the cash value of this Southern Illinois land, but the intrinsic value as well. Join us for PART 2 of 2 of this deer watering hole/wildlife pond build as we document the entire process of building a wildlife pond in the woods, aka deer watering hole. In today's episode I'll be using my bobcat e42 R2 series mini excavator and my buddy Phil will be using his compact tractor with a dirt bucket and a back blade. If you are just joining us at this video here are the 2 previous episodes of this particular Southern Illinois land management/land improvement project(s):
EP #1 Clearing a new micro food plot clearing in the woods:

EP 2# Deep woods pond site preparation clearing trees with bobcat mini excavator and compact tractor & grapple: https://youtu.be/23uA9BtVJPg
PART 1 OF THIS POND BUILD: https://youtu.be/gxc8yQClNco
Today we will finish clearing all of the trees from this new pond site, then we will skim all of the roots and dirt off of the top, break out the self leveling laser and lay out the pond dam and pond size. Then we will dig the core trench, also known as a keyway trench. While digging the core trench I will be separating the dirt with the darker dirt and roots going on the back side of the future pond dam, and the 'clean dirt' or clean clay going on the inside of the pond dam so that we can put it back in the core trench to compact it at the base of the future pond dam. Definitely stay tuned for PART 2 and the completion of yet another big watering pond in the woods from Kapper Outdoors. I have been really enjoying the upgraded bobcat e42 R-2 series mini excavator since I traded in my last e42.

Severe drought wildlife pond watering hole check & weed cleanup; Southern Illinois land
This is precisely why I have build many watering ponds on our property here in Southern Illinois, and have also built many of them for client properties. We have had nearly 6 weeks of zero rain, lots of heat and sunshine down here and all of my food plots and clover plots have burned to a crisp. But we still hold lots of deer and wildlife because we have abundant watering sources on our property. Today since I was passing by this particular watering pond I wanted to stop in for a depth check and to maybe scoop it a little deeper if need be for future droughts. I was happy that there was still at least 2 feet of water in it, and just TONS of wildlife tracks around it (I really should have a trail cam on it right now!) So I scooped out some of the weeds, in case it continues to drop. But soon we'll have a pond expert here to fix up and treat our big ponds and I will also have some of the weeds killed off on these smaller ponds to keep them a bit cleaner for wildlife usage.

FALL FOOD PLOTS ANNIHILATED BY SEVERE DROUGHT! OCT 12TH.. NOT going down without a fight!!
Southern Illinois-Oct 12, 2022 All of my fall food plots for deer have been destroyed by a record setting severe drought here in the Southern Midwest. But I DON'T intend on giving up! So, here we are, mid October, what can be done to try to salvage this situation? Well, for starters, cereal grains will germinate and grow all fall and winter as long as you get them to germinate. So I will be tilling up several of my fall food plots with my Kioti RX7320 and my Rhino HD tiller, and I will also give them a shot of nitrogen fertilizer. But on top of that I will also add a mix of brassica's radishes and clovers as well. The clovers will grow throughout the fall and winter, and the brassicas may do nothing, or they may still grow to 4 to 6 inches, all depending on the rain and weather. Since the weather has been kind of crazy lately, I'll take the chance and give it a try. After all, what is the other 'food plot' option? We can't feed here in Illinois so corn feeders are out of the question. Also, at least for ONE of my newly planted fall food plots I have set up my high volume water pump so that I can hopefully nurse at least ONE food plot here late in the game! hank you and as always if you enjoy this video please hit the like button and share it to help us continue to increase our YouTube channel family, we greatly appreciate that.

2022 DEER SEASON ACTION PRIMER! Are you ready for 2022!?
Action packed deer hunting montage to get you ready for deer hunting season 2022! We had a great season last year, and even though we've struggled through a severe drought this year, we are still hoping for another great deer hunting season down here in Southern Illinois! Here is the original description from Phil's buck harvest of double crabs:
EPIC DEER HUNT! Nov 4, 2021, from our Southern Illinois farm. Join us today for an epic deer hunt as me and my buddy Phil tag team and experience an incredibly memorable hunt on one of my fall food plots on our Southern Illinois farm. Today we are trying something very different. We will be hunting the same food plot but in 2 different deer towers. We have an arrangement between us that if we see a 120 or a 130 buck that Phil get's to take the shot, but if we see a 140 or bigger than I get a crack at it! Phil will be in my bourbon deer blind, and I will be in an old, wooden deer tower that is barely hanging on! We were both using our Ravin crossbow's, Phil has a Ravin R26 and I have a Ravin R20. We saw at least 25 deer on this sit, and at least 10 bucks, but we quit counting when the chaos started! A huge congratulations to my buddy Phil who put a perfect shot on a beautiful 8 point big Illinois buck! Thanks for joining us today and as always please hit the like button if you enjoyed this adventure and please share it for us to help us continue to grow our YouTube family! We also have a CarbonTV.com channel if you'd like to check it out. We'd also greatly appreciate that! Here is a link to my 6.5 year old buck that I harvested last year on our farm also:

STUNNING DRONE FOOTAGE OF MONTANA MOUNTAINS and Honda Pioneer crew trail riding: https://youtu.be/Sv9T8mmXp2c
In today's episode we'll be clearing trees from a remote wooded location in preparation to build a deep woods small pond for wildlife and as a back up plan for future droughts, so the landowner can use the year round pond to irrigate food plots. Today I'll have my bobcat e42 r2 series mini excavator and my buddy Phil will be doing some tractor grapple work to clear all of the trees that I take down in preparation for the new pond site. Stay tuned for future episodes of not only this land improvement mini series, but several others that we have been working on lately as well as some more long form, full length videos of the Montana trail riding adventure with the new 2023 Honda Pioneer crew's!!

IS IT TOO LATE to replant a Fall food plot for deer? #shorts #shortsvideo
#shortsvideo #shorts #kapperoutdoors
This Southern Illinois drought has DESTROYED most all of my fall food plots! But today, Oct 11, 2022 I am taking another run at it! Since it's been so hot and dry lately, I figured I'd give a couple of RE plants of my fall food plots a shot again. The difference this time? At least for one of my larger plots, is that I have my water pump set up drawing water from out big pond so that I can water it every day! Stay tuned in the next few weeks to see how it goes! On today's Kapper Outdoors farm vlog I will break out my Kioti RX7320 and my 7' HD tiller to RE till, and RE plant a large brassica food plot, as well as using a mix of winter grains, such as oats, winter wheat, winter rye and a couple of other's mixed in. Hope you check back in after a few weeks to see if/how it worked! But THIS time I already have my high volume water pump set up and ready to go so that I can water it every day! Even twice a day!
Hope to see you again, thanks.
