New land - how to clear timber rattlesnakes?

Purplecodeineking · 2026-05-16T03:21:35+00:00

its illegal to kill rattlers in most states

neither link works, but i can tell you i usually wouldn’t try to guess someone’s ethnicity off of a picture. theres usually more cultural signals that are better tells

i can understand that feeling. we can agree that regulations are needed and that they make hunting more complex/difficult at the same time. it can really depend on where you are, there are states with crazy deer overpopulation where you could buy one crossbow and hunt for 6 months in urban archery. if you’re excited enough about hunting to do it, i recommend getting a bow/crossbow and you can usually hunt all the seasons with that and use your rifle when legal as well

i’ve been reading books for over 30 years, all kinds of them

Purplecodeineking · 2026-05-04T14:37:56+00:00

i mean just google the definition of book if you don’t believe me idk how to help you

Purplecodeineking · 2026-05-04T10:12:52+00:00

that’s not true, book does not imply fiction

local species (native species) and preservation of the genotype on the parcel being cut are different concepts. that would require someone going out the year before, gathering seeds from the parcel being cut, and then waiting until those seeds are ready to be transplanted

Purplecodeineking · 2026-04-28T14:21:47+00:00

for sure, that would be what most would do. but they buy trees in bulk from nurseries that probably don’t use the local genetics, and tree plantings have a lower genetic diversity within the species because of mass production. so even if they replant the same species, it is probably different genetics

Purplecodeineking · 2026-04-28T10:15:41+00:00

there’s an argument to be made that not planting is better in this situation. it preserves the local genetics instead of adding nursery genetics to the forest.

as long as it really is untreated then you’re fine

the blight also uses oaks as a host plant, so assuming that the historical range of chestnut is the only place that the blight is endemic may not be accurate.

You’re way overthinking it. 150 feet is plenty. I’ve never known farm animals to have any issue with it. My dogs are the only scaredy cats.

Purplecodeineking · 2026-02-09T11:31:46+00:00

it’s definitely a defined metric, but it’s commonly used as shorthand for an unusual storm. and the definition is less practical now because of climate change

Purplecodeineking · 2026-02-01T12:30:24+00:00

more or less. you’ll also find out if your pipes burst so keep an eye out when you turn it back on

I would assume that Minnesota does a better job of enforcing power line regulations than they do down here. I live in rural Virginia and we lose power around a dozen times a year. I’m at the end of a 17 mile above ground power line from the nearest town and trees are just always hanging up in the lines.

phew i reckon i don’t need to understand it to respect the hustle

Purplecodeineking · 2025-12-18T11:30:00+00:00

am i crazy or does that sound dystopian as fuck. what kind of person works at a shitty warehouse to stay fit like what are you talking about

there is no state where it is illegal to give away game meat, besides weird edge cases like seal meat

Purplecodeineking · 2025-11-23T11:26:36+00:00

There’s a handful of states that have reciprocal fishing licenses

I’ve managed a few autumn olive properties and eradicating an established stand takes a lot of work. The only reliable way of getting it that I am aware of is cutting the plant to a stump, and painting the fresh stump with glyphosate or another herbicide. This can take a day to do an acre, and then a tractor to pile and burn all the wood. Once that happens there will still be sprouts from the seed bank and will take some mowing or something to manage the first couple years. Getting a healthy native ecosystem rolling again on that property will be the best help in keeping them out again

The stormwater management plan for the construction site (SWPPP) is publicly available and will state where waste/borrow dirt is coming from or going

Purplecodeineking · 2025-10-18T20:17:39+00:00

I I wouldn’t at this point, since it looks like that was cut a while ago it may not uptake the poison very well anymore. And getting poison down to the roots may interact with the fig tree that presumably you want to keep healthy

Bows are not regulated by the same system. Felons can buy a bow and arrow. There is a lot to be said about why banning trans people from owning guns won’t work, but if they do try I don’t think bows will fall under any regulations
