I have been planting food plots yesterday and today with the help of my best friend and hunting partner. We planted two on our lease and one at my place. This was done the conventional way, spray, wait, disc, plant and fertilize, and drag. I hope to transition to the plant, fertilize, and crimp...

Good for you ! We got a good rain last night too, but I haven’t checked the gauge yet. I’m a little under the weather with a head cold, sinus infection, or both.

I’ll bet he was glad he was wearing his brown pants !😝 I never came that close but I did have a bobcat get within twenty feet of me once when calling coyotes. They are sneaky ! I didn’t get that one, but thank God for the happy accident that let me be born in a state where we don’t have to...

I do both. I usually have a feeder at the end or side of my food plots. There is no doubt that the food plot is the biggest draw because I only throw 5/6 seconds both morning and evening. I pen my feeders with 8 hog panels where the hogs don’t homestead. They still come around, and I still shoot...

You can probably get all the info you need to skin and prep a deer from YouTube videos. I know Growing Deer TV put one out and I’m sure there are more. As far as methods of hunting deer, that’s gonna be fairly specific to your land and your geography. There are lots of “how to” articles in...

Patience is not my long suit Grizzz, but I’ll check for signs of germination in a couple weeks. Jack, I don’t think I’ll have any predation, that plot was thick ! It’s probably right up there with the best plots I’ve ever grown. If the hogs find it, that may be another story. Their sense of...

A couple of pics of the crimping caught with my Moultrie Edge camera.

The last good rain we had, a couple weeks ago, was nine inches in two days. It was a pond filler. A desert, it is not ! But wait……we were predicted a good rain Tuesday last, and not even a sprinkle. Supposed to rain a couple inches Saturday, but I’ll believe it when I see it. They get it wrong...

Well, I didn’t mow the plot, but today I seeded it with sunn hemp, peradovik sunflowers, buckwheat, and IC peas. I crimped it and it looked pretty good. I fertilized it too since this is the first time I haven’t done my usual disc, plant, and drag, (per Dr. Wood’s recommendations). My only worry...

No tapa, never liked it. I stay logged in, it’s just like an app on the screen of my ipad. Sometimes lately all I get is “page loading” but it doesn’t. I may need to log out and back in if I can locate my password. 😳

I thought a ramp was what you wheeled grandma up to get in the trailer house. 😝 ‘Splain yoself son !

For the last three or four days (at least) the site fails to load. What am I missing here ?

People on the ground need to watch for falling wheels !😜

That’s good to know Rusty, after thinking on it some more, I think I could mow it high, and let it start growing again. That way I could possibly time my seed and crimp routine a little better. Right now I’m afraid I’m gonna need to crimp before I’m ready to plant. I want to give the deer time...

Yep, it happens every year when things green up. Food plots are not natural deer food, browse is. My rye plot on another place is about a foot tall, just a couple weeks ago it looked like Astroturf. I was down there today building a pen around my protein feeder and the deer have stopped using it...
