"Whitetail Hollow" - 90 Acres NE Oklahoma.

[OkieKubota]

Almost missed the annual Pellet Lime post...tractor supply had it in sale for $3 a bag for 3 or more bags. I bought a full pallet of 70 40 lb bags for 2800 lbs total that I spread with the cone spreader on my tractor easy as can be...

When I got the pallet home I needed to use my trailer for something else that same day and since I don’t have pallet forks and I didn’t have time to hand unload it I just hooked a chain to the bottom and pulled it off the trailer...pallet didn’t fare too well but it served my purpose...

This is the plot I spread it on. I started creating this plot almost 5 years ago now. It started at around 1/2 acre and is now about 3 acres and I spread at least a ton of lime a year on it.
I have not seeded it at all this year and my clover and rye grain is coming back strong with recent rain...

Okie - something tells me you are just hard on stuff..... That poor pallet didn't do anything to you! Glad to see you made it back home safe.....I hope my mid-western ball sports survival info helped!

Just got my flyer with that lime deal. Sure I’ll stock up as well

Glad you had a safe trip. Good deal on the lime. Plot looks good.

Just a little photo dump from the past couple weeks...

I finally put a camera in the plot and again our buck-doe ratio is about 4 bucks to every doe...

One of my favorite pics...think they are both does!

That Big & J BB2 stuff really works but doesn’t last long...

Had a great chance of rain for today and tomorrow so I spread urea on the plot last night...sunny and hot happened and rain chances have dropped drastically...

That's a great looking plot.
One of those bucks looks like he has a set of handles sticking out of his G2's. Am I seeing that right?

 

[OkieKubota]

The plot is entirely clover and WR that reseeded itself. Only thing I have done to it is Brushhog it once in late summer and I spread urea 2 days ago with 2 80% rain chance days that turned into no rain at all so it was a wasted effort..

The buck does have long kickers off both G-2’s

 

[Cap'n]

That urea isn't going to volatilize that quick, you should get some benefit out of it if we get the rain they say is coming early next week. I'd like for it to hold off until Tuesday though so I can get some dove hunting done.
Thats a good looking buck, not often you see a kicker on both sides so evenly matched.

Nice bucks as usual

You always have some horses. Good luck with them. Liked the rye/clover minimist plot.

A few days ago I bought another 9 point chisel plow for a very reasonable price only because it was too good a deal to pass up...I now have 2 but I am not doing any tillage this year at all...

When you have a healthy deer population your oak regen will be very good. I am brushhogging white oak seedlings so I can get to this stand...

A couple photos of the north plot I have wanted to just grow up and go wild...the clover is very persistent...

Couple photos of the south plot...all I have done is limed, fertilized, and mowed this one...clover, WR, and oats all just returning from the seed bank...

Checking dominance...

Man I am proud to find a buck or two on camera and you have a convention going on!! Good work and good find on chisel. This year I am resting the tiller and going chisel and disc

Which brings me to my next deal...no matter how I do my camera surveys I am coming up with a buck:doe ratio of 4:1...there are only 6 mature does I get on cam but I have over 24 different bucks on camera on our place. Neighbors slaughter the does and our doe tags are very generous... I wish the game dept would do 2 things...APR and reduce the doe tags and doe harvest days...

Looks like you have your usual great buck crop. And, some real nice trail cam pics as well. Best wishes for your hunting this year!!

Plenty of good bucks again for you this year! Just curious but do you put only corn in your feeders or do you use anything else?

I told you they would use that feeder if you gave them time to get used to it.

One thing I learned this year: take the feeder down when you aren’t using it. Or at a minimum make sure there is not one left over morsel of food left in it. Squirrels chewed through mine recently.

I am trying to reduce the rock creation on our place this year...next year
May be different...lol

Thanks Native. Anxious to see what we have at our deer lease as well this year. Early reports are good!

Thanks - corn only...

I found out the hard way on that...as long as they have plenty of corn to scavenge we are ok. If we they smell corn inside and can’t get to it any other way they go to chewing...had to fix a lid on one of my Moultrie slinger models just a few minutes ago...

dude----your place always looks amazing and the bucks just seem to get better every year!!!

Must be the good clean living
Hope you are got some of this great rain. I received a little over 3" last week right after finishing my plots. Haven't been out to look at them but I would imagine they should be getting some good germination.

take care my friend

Unfortunately the rain just wouldn’t come for the Whitetail Hollow as this farmlogs shows...got some decent rain mid and lower in the county...

It is 68 here with a nice N breeze so after I went to church and had lunch I decided to go across the road and trim some shooting lanes. Got 2 stands done and was headed to the stand where the feeder is and I noticed a large bodied deer feeding under it. Wind was in my favor and when he raised his head it was a big 9 point shooter buck. I eased out of there...other cameras showed deer in the south plot all morning up until 1:30 in the afternoon...

Johnny...Those Banks feeders are getting a lot of action. I haven't put fed anything out of feeders all summer. And...hunting over bait has just been legalized in the Northern Zone of GA. It's been legal in Southern Zone for a number of years. Now legal state wide. I guess I need to fill em up. Wally World, TSC, and the local feed n seed stores can't keep corn in stock right now. Goes as fast as they get it in. I like feeding deer but have never hunted over feed. Just seems weird to me since we've never been able to do it before now.
