I haven't posted in a while, but a lot has been accomplished in the last couple of months. I got my soil test back for a small hidey hole plot just inside the timberline. I'm super impressed with this river bottom soil! Decided that no soil amendments were needed to establish a plot in this...

I know this is somewhat of an old thread, but I want to resurrect it and give a plug for episode #161 with Marcus Lashley from Mississippi State Deer Lab. One of my recent favorites covering mineral stumps, prescribed burning, fawning cover, impacts of coyotes, and much more. Highly recommended...

Really enjoyed catching up on your thread Elk. I really enjoy these northern land tours. You guys sure grow some heavy deer! Glad your top two bucks made it through the season and decided to stick around.

Looks great Jeff! Looking forward to drooling over photos of the meat that thing will produce! Sent from my iPhone using Deer Hunter Forum

Yikes! Seems like a really steep yearly fee! Yeah, I use Tapatalk and it definitely makes things easy.

Huh, well that stinks. So is this due to members that haven't paid for a photobucket account, or does the forum itself need a paid subscription?

Having trouble viewing photos that were uploaded via Photobucket. I get this error message: Anyone else experiencing this? Is this just on my end? Viewing forum from my IPad through Safari, not the forum app.

Brush, I've committed myself to catching up on your thread the past couple of weeks and finally made it through this evening. Lots of notes were taken. Very inspiring to see everything you're doing here in SWMO, especially since I live just down the road from you. I'm sure the Brushpile is...

Enjoyed reading through all of your posts. Congratulations on all of your success! That Clover Trio was the first food plot seed I ever planted and I had pretty decent results for it being a BoB seed mix. I also used cereal rye as a nurse crop to help get it established. Your clover should be...

That's good to hear Buck! For smaller creeks and streams we usually suggest a minimum of 50ft, double that for larger rivers. They create excellent travel corridors for all forms of wildlife and privide that ever important edge habitat that so many animals need.

Good for you J-Bird! I always try to sell the idea of setting aside a riparian buffer to increase wildlife habitat and hunting opportunities. Works with some, but unfortunately it seems most people with poor riparian corridors tend to be too focused on production or maintaining a view of the...

Thanks for the input J-bird! I hope to someday have a large enough property that I can do some timber harvesting. Up until this point I haven't had a chance to do very much work on the timber other than cutting travel corridors and opening up two areas for hidey hole plots. The small trees that...

Yeah, I'm trying to not get too caught up on "weeds" as long as they aren't invasive (jap. hop for example on our property). Those extra plants are just creating a more diverse menu. I think regular mowing should solve most of my issues. Sent from my iPhone using Deer Hunter Forum

Home for a family get together this past weekend and had just over an hour in the morning to spend at the farm. As we all know, those hours go quickly when you're out doing what you love, so I was in a mad dash to do as much as I could with what little time I had. My two goals were to pull the...

Thanks! I enjoy following along on your thread as well. Hopefully all the hard work will pay off for both of us this fall. Sent from my iPhone using Deer Hunter Forum

My brother and I snuck out to the farm for about an hour last weekend to mow down the clover/rye plot. The rye was starting to look pretty scraggly and the clover seems to be filling in nicely. It's amazing how much good, green organic matter that rye produces. Hopefully mowing takes care...

Fingers crossed! There isn't a lot of hunting pressure and there aren't any main roads, so I'm hopeful. Still, lots can go wrong for any wild animal. Luckily, he was running around with several good 8's and a beautiful 9 I wouldn't mind seeing either! Sent from my iPhone using Deer Hunter Forum

Hey Brush! Good to see SWMO folks on here. I live in Strafford, but this little piece of property is at our family farm up north. Love what you've done with your place! You have such an informative thread. Sent from my iPhone using Deer Hunter Forum

Thanks Mark! Yes, entry and exit strategies and limiting pressure this fall will be extremely important. This plot is in near the center of the property and I've decided to not hunt the plot and focus on hunting the edges. Here's a map of my plans for the property. The main plot and travel...

I've read a little about Clethodium and right now it's what I've thought about using if/when needed. Don't think it'll help me with the Japanese hops, but it should help with the other weeds. Didn't have any photos of turkeys in the plot this year.
