Bowhunter's upstate New York property tour

[Bowhunter]

Clover is doing exceptionally well this year. Seems like we’ve had the perfect weather conditions for growing this year so far.

It's been a clover kind of year. It's rained about every other day since last August.

I always got nice buck pictures in clover in July

 

[Bowhunter]

Gotta be careful out there mowing. Had this little guy hiding in the tall grass this morning.

Lots and lots of fawns this spring!!

 

[Elkaddict]

It’s interesting, our fawn numbers are down again. No twins, and 1/2 the fawns I’d expect to see given deer numbers. In some ways it’s a blessing....we had way too many deer on us last fall/early winter because of the poor acorn crop. Bears and coyotes appear fat and healthy.....

 

[Bowhunter]

I haven’t been able to get out and do much on the farm lately, but I did get out today and till up one of my fields that I’m putting some brassicas in. I love how freshly tilled field looks. If things go well I’ll be planting tomorrow.

 

[Bowhunter]

On a different note, my target deer from last year is still alive. Along with him there is two other shooter 8 points that are showing up on camera. Should be a good year.

Best time of year - seeing what they've grown in to!!! Looking good, some nice stickers!!. I will say the more I learn about aging deer on the hoof - the harder I think it is.

Another shooter 8 point showed up on camera this week.

The 10 that I’ve been after is still growing as well.

The brassica plot that I put in last week is doing well with the good amount of rain we’ve been getting.

 

[Elkaddict]

Brassicas can’t possibly grow in that plot, you don’t have enough rocks. The rain has been unreal this summer. I’m hoping we get a couple more soaking rains before temps start to fall.

It would scare you if I told you how many tons of rocks I’ve picked from just this one small 0.25 acre plot. It seems like the more I pick, the more show up the next year. I know I’m preaching to the choir as I’m sure you have the same issues in the Catskills where you’re located.

If anybody needs some rock growing tips, I’m your guy.

 

[farmhunter]

love seeing those NY shooter bucks - Looks like they approve!!

Rocks....lol - I know it as you do.

 

[dogghr]

Food and buck crops seem to be coming along good for you. Good luck with both.

 

[Bowhunter]

I got a few free hours today to do some tilling and hope to get this planted tomorrow if the stars align.

 

[Bowhunter]

Brassica plot is coming along pretty decent as well.

 

[farmhunter]

your tiller does a nice job - I'm thinking about a used one as well - would be great for that type of plot.
