I had a post last week on this buck, I’ve seen his tracks for a few years and could never get a picture of him. He finally slipped up and needles to say I got excited and really started searching for the area he hangs out in. After a lot of walking I came across a stand of old growth hardwood...

Hi folks, I haven’t been online much lately as I’ve been working on my hunting camp and doing a little deer hunting. I’ve been seeing tracks on my property for years that were substantially bigger then other bucks I had on camera and was never able to get a picture of the deer. However he...

Well all tagged out on the last morning I had free to go. I’ve been building a hunting cabin on my property this fall and trying to get it water tight before winter sets in so didn’t get a lot of time to hunt. Didn’t want to go without deer meat so Ended up taking a nice little 5 point with the...

Hi everyone , I have been really busy all spring and summer so I haven’t even had time to go look at my plot let alone disc it and replant something . I’m wondering what I can plant this late and have a decent fall/winter plot? I had planned on planting chicory and white clover this spring but...

I planted brassicas this year and they grew very well, however the deer won’t touch them lol. The ground is frozen and a cpl inches of snow here now and when the odd deer comes to the plot it just picks at the clover around the edge. So, I am thinking of trying soybeans, cowpeas and oats next...

Well my normal hunting spot/food plot area hasn’t seen hardly any action this year. It happens about every 3 years here, seems like what few deer there are move out of a given area for a year then return the following year or two. I decided to try a new area I had never hunted before. Called a...

Noticed today I have 2 strips in the brassica plot that are a bit yellow and stunted a bit. The rest of the plot is 10-18” tall and this is day 30 since planting. Think I need more fertilizer in these couple of areas? First pic is of the top of my rubber boot in the plot. I’m impressed for 30...

We have some rain coming tonight so I went down to fertilize. I didn’t spread the full amount since the lower end of the plot has more shade and the leaves are still wet. I only made 1 pass over them and realized. I noticed the lower end is at least twice the size of the upper end. I’m assuming...

Just got my soil test results back from my 8 year old clover plot. I disced about 2/3 of it up to plant some brassicas a couple of weeks ago and added 400 lb of lime and 200 lb of 6-12-12 fertilizer. Judging by the test results do you think the brassicas will grow well this summer/fall? And I’m...

I am currently looking at getting a tractor for working around my wood lot, food plotting and plowing snow. I’ve been checking out the kioti ck2610 with the backhoe attachment, box scraper/cultivator, loader and forks. Just wondering if anyone on here has one that they use for similar things and...

Hi everyone, haven’t been on in a bit. My clover plot is around 8 years old and starting to get overrun by weeds and grasses so I figured it was time to start discing it up and use up some of the nitrogen the clover has been putting in the soil. I left the best patches of clover but plan on...

Well the big one I’ve been chasing for years never showed up this September so I’m assuming he didn’t make the winter since he was 8-9 years old. It’s been a slow go here with only 1 decent 8 point making the odd appearance. I contemplated trying to get him but knowing he should be a really nice...

Hey everyone, haven’t posted on here in a bit but still reading along. I found a new spot 4 days ago that had a scrape line running east and west along a brook. There was one of the largest tracks I think I’ve ever seen in the scrapes, so I got excited and stuck up a camera to See if I can catch...

I shot a buck on 21 November, definitely the oldest deer I’ve ever seen. His face was Snow White and even behind his ears are white. He was definitely a scrapper for an old grandpappy, all bruised up, broken antlers and holes in him everywhere. I can’t even guess an age on this buck. Sent...

Just looking for some advice, I have a clover plot and am thinking about broadcasting winter rye into it, will it grow? Sent from my iPhone using Deer Hunter Forum

Well, here we are again. I made a post about this buck last fall. This is 6 years I’ve had him on camera. He is usually on my property daily for the month of September then leaves the last week and I might see him 2-3 more times for the rest of the fall. He lost a g4 on his left beam and a bit...

I have a 130 acre property with no agricultural grounds within 20 miles. The property is forested land with hardwood ridges and spruce swamps as the low lands. All property surrounding for 20+ miles is also forested or young growth. I currently have a 2 acre clover plot in one of the hardwood...

I’ve been training my silver lab to shed hunt and she is doing amazing! I hid 5 antlers today, de-scented and through them in the tall grass and woods. I went home, had supper and got Storm to come for a walk with me. She found everyone of them within 20 minutes! It is really quite amazing to...

I noticed an apple tree I started from seed last year is covered in aphids. Mostly on the new growth. I read that if you dust the tree with diatomaceous earth it will kill the aphids. Anyone have any experience with this? Sent from my iPhone using Deer Hunter Forum
