Yeah, I sure hope he has merely avoided the cameras this year and is around somewhere. The Mrs was going to hunt him pretty hard in early season before he took off this fall.

Took advantage of the cooler temps and got a couple stands on the neighbors next to the Massey on my day off yesterday. Had a couple pretty good helpers, Addison and my nephew, Granton.Sent from my iPhone using Deer Hunter Forum

Got the last two stands set on the Massey. Also got the last ladder stand tightened up and in shape for season. We have 5 more sets to go and a hay bale blind on various properties we hunt. We’re still in limbo about a couple of places and should find out in the next week if we will be able to hunt them this fall; that will make 2 or 3 more stands to get set. I try to have 2 stands ready for every wind direction, so we’re not stuck on a day off with no place to hunt because of a wrong wind.
View out of the back plot ladder, though hard to see, there is actually quite a bit of clover in there. The plot starts about 10 yards out and stretches out to about 30 yards. That’s an old horizontal rub I tried a few years back, deer never touched it. Last year I stuck a landscape timber out in the plot and hung a scrape branch off of it and they hammered it all fall, they even began rubbing the timber and about pulled it out of the ground. Lol
Louie is my loyal farm companion, it about kills him to be left at home when I take the truck and go hunting.
This is a new set this year, we’ll have wheat in our ag field for the first time since we owned the place, the deer should pour into this field corner. A lot of the corn got flooded out after planting, so you can’t see it very well on the field edges.
Here’s a look back toward the creek from the tree. I don’t like big shooting lanes in the timber, but I cleared a few small ones.

Here’s a pic of the scrape branch I mentioned above, with the first culprit.
Here’s what it looked like when he was done with it, not the same buck in the picture. This year I need to get the branch a little higher off the ground.
This was it a few weeks later. Lol

What is your process here? Broadcast fertilizer, till, broadcast seed? Any incorporation of the seed? (Cultipack, etc...)

We only plant a small portion of the plot area to brassicas in the fall. Usually about a half acre of around 3 acres total. We spread pellet lime and fertilizer and till. We have a good sized disk that stays at the farm. Usually after tilling I cultipack, spread the little brassica seed, and cultipack again. Yesterday, I forgot the cultipacker
. So I spread the seed at a little higher rate. Also, we sprayed the area last month with gly.

Well it’s evident the first plot is in the ground. High pressure and lower humidity has moved into our region for the first time in months. Makes for a nicer evening, but doesn’t do much for rain chances. I’ve been known to shut down consistent rains by merely looking at my bag seeder too long.

I hear ya. If someone says there is a chance of rain, I dare not take a peek at the radar or it will split and miss us... That being said, in my experience, brassicas are a tough little plant. I have given them up for dead before only to have a few timely rains prove me very wrong.Well it’s evident the first plot is in the ground.

. It’s been a while. We need one bad too. Talking to a couple local farmers, our bean crop is quickly going to hell...
