    It's been a long time but I started prepping plots again...

    Plot is kind of weedy since we are coming back from 5 years of going wild, but the Triticale was coming up great on Friday when I was out there. I went ahead and broadcast a brassica mix into into it as well. Ground was still good and moist on the surface, and we are getting more rain today...

    Been waiting on rain, like you always have to do growing food plots in the Texas Panhandle. Had a hog/varmint hunting trip down to Ozona TX this weekend, and when I got back Sunday we had gotten 1" of rain, with more forecasted for the next 3-4 days. So I grabbed my stuff and went out to the...

    8 of the 10 stumps came right out, just using the truck in 4wd and a tow strap. Didn't even try hard. The other two the tops were too rotten and we ended up just pulling parts of the stump off until it was cone shaped. Just couldn't get a good grip. They aren't in there hard either, just...

    Mostly these are cottonwoods, and have been cut down about 6-8 years. I kicked at a couple of them and they are pretty loose. I seriously don't think it will take much to get them out. I could be wrong though. But there is one osage orange stump that will probably still be there after I am dead.

    Just got back from a week long trip to Arkansas for a family reunion. Went out and checked on the plot, looks like I got a good burndown. Now I need to see if I can borrow a tractor with FEL or skidsteer from my brother-in-law and get those stumps knocked out. Got about 8-10 that need to come...

    Well, like you guys said, sometimes other things take priorities. As much as we all love the deer hunting and management, in the end a guy has to take care of family and business first. I think this time around I know enough about it to work smarter and not harder too. Hopefully I learned...

    Once upon a time, on a forum long since gone, I knew a bunch of you guys. I think I went by the name Jethro back then, but not sure. I had a little spot in the woods where I grew trees from acorns, planted food plots, and did some hinging and so forth. I bow hunted in there and had lots of...

    Looking for QDMA forum members

    I see lots of old names from the old QDMA forum here, names I haven't seen or heard in many years. I never knew where a lot of you guys went. My food plotting and tree growing took a serious nose dive in the 2011 drought, and I am just now starting to get back into it. Look forward to some...
