Nice! I like that Sent from my iPhone using Deer Hunter Forum

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...

I’m wondering the same thing about the G2. I only have 3 pictures of him so it’s really hard to tell. If he is I’d like to see the one that was fighting with him! Sent from my iPhone using Deer Hunter Forum

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...

Planning on expanding my 1 acre plot by 1/3-1/2 acre. In the picture the highlighted green is what I’m clearing out for new ground and the orange line will be a row of apple trees.(probably 8 trees) I will be setting the row of apple trees up so I can see down each side from the stand. This...

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...

That’s what I figured as well. I might just mow what’s there and mix some brassicas into it, then disc it up in the spring Sent from my iPhone using Deer Hunter Forum

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...

Thank you all for your replies and insight. I will contact my the co op seed store and see what the options are for forage beans. My plot is about an acre and a half but our deer numbers are very low. There are 3 deer that visit the plot now occasionally and call the area home, then I have a...

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...

Beautiful buck. Congratulations Sent from my iPhone using Deer Hunter Forum

Thanks for the input ,I have a bag and a half of fertilizer left so I will spread that on the next day I go up. We have had a lot of rain since planting as well. Calling for another 2.5-3” today and tonight so that could very well be the problem as well. Sent from my iPhone using Deer Hunter Forum

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...

Went in to have a look again today. I’m trying to check it every week if possible. Today is day 28. They will produce some serious tonnage come late October if they keep growing like this! Sent from my iPhone using Deer Hunter Forum
