I have considered getting a plow of some sort - but dang at the equipment I have bought already and it always seems like I need something else.
I lived GA for a few high school years - about forty-five years ago. Used to go up to the mountains and fish Lake Burton and fish some of the smaller creeks in the area for trout. Also used to catch "spring lizards" up there and sell them to the local baitshops.
I used to yo-yo fish when I was a kid. I set them around our farm pond from limbs of trees growing along the edge and would build a fire and check them every little bit...that old pond was a lot of fun 40 years ago but has dried up and filled in a bunch and needs to be revitalized...I own the land it sits on now so may do that in the near future...
Great buck!

Spring lizards - I think were black bellied salamandars. That was before I got my degree in Wildlife Management, so I am not sure. They would be under rocks in the splash zone right at the edge of the creek. They made a great bass bait. They did not have external gills - but would still live a long time and were very active in the water. Almost all the baitshops sold them.

Just turned 61 so that was about the time I was in high school. Spent many weekends chasing trout in the N GA mountains in and around the Helen / Dahlonega / Clayton area. Interesting enough, I just returned Saturday from my 1st fly fishing excursion in Alaska. Gonna post an update on my property thread when I get the time. Cool experience.
I'll bet that was a little different than fishing those N GA streams. Will be looking forward to reading about it.
Went bush hogging down on the low side of my 300 and as I went past the Swamp Food Plot, I noticed it was full of deer - but kept on going so as not to spook them. A few hours later, right before dark, I came back through and they were still there. I went on past the trail into the plot and got off the tractor, but left it running. Of course, when I snuck back to the opening to look at them, they were all looking at me. 13 deer, all bucks. I did snap a quick pic with my phone as they started running off. These bucks had been in my eagle seed beans but have pretty much moved down full time on this Durana clover since I mowed it a couple weeks ago.

I dont live in row crop country. Cattle and chickens where I live. Plenty of hay equipment - not too much dirt working or planting equipment. I have always thought us food plotters should go in together and buy a pool of equipment. Of course we would all want something that one time for the year on the same day.
