BP - Property Tour

[THE LLC]

My experience with cornfields j-bird has been there's no need to mow it for the deer--they just grab it and rip it off the stalk--unless you just want to make it easier to see them. So that'd make sense to cut the lanes before ears. Course, that being the case, don't see why standing would be considered any more baiting than cutting it. Strange rules across this country.

Haven’t been doing much on the property since deer season started (other than hunting), but I did recently plant 20 acres of food plots. I went with a mix of rye, oats, wheat, crimson clover, arrowleaf clover, Duran’s clover, radish, chicory, and Austrian winter peas. Pretty happy with how they are coming up.

This field was disked first, everything else was no tilled.

I got a load of fat lighter today too.

Took a minute to enjoy the scenery as well.

I just like the look of those rows of food plot. Looks good, as does the kindling. The Charleston area does have some marshes. Nice

Your plots look nice Cutman with their thick underbrush around the edges. I especially like the one with the island or hedge thru it. The deer here use ones like that as their regular day and night use social areas. Do you find the same happening there?

I love winter habitat work. This is my little tucked away food plot. Oats, wheat, clovers, chicory, chestnuts , hybrid white oaks, and sawtooth oaks.

Burning is my favorite habitat tool. I burned field ditches today. These fields are rye and crimson clover. They will be terminated in early March in preparation of no till corn planting in late March.

I noticed an area of fallen trees on Google Maps so decided to go check it out. These fell during hurricane Matthew 2 years ago.

Time for an update. I planted corn on March 24 into 6 foot y’all rye then sprayed immediately after. The glyphosate worked, but corn emergence is spotty. Soil moisture was good but the temp was on the cool side.



Wheat fields are heading out. They look good.



Oats are starting to go to seed, too.



Clover fields look amazing. This one is knee high.





You can really see the effect trees have on food plots. Keep that in mind when planting trees on the edges...they really soak up a lot of water.



Snake was enjoying the warm weather.



Big project today was caging pear trees. They had been tubed, but the wind had made them lean and fire ants were building nests inside the tubes. Cages should work better moving forward.



Last but not least, the deer clearly enjoy this secluded plot in the woods.

I can't even wrap my head around this. I won't have rye even begin greening up for 3 weeks, and you've got rye and wheat headed out already.

The tree "ring" picture is a good indication of what they can do to plots. That's why I cringe at seeing people leave mature trees out in their plots.

Corn is coming up.

Time for a spring update. Looks like I did the same thing last year. Guess I’m not very original.

This field is going to be 2.7 acres of eagle beans. I will put a plotsaver fence around it.



This is a 2 acre stand of pines I burned a week ago.



This is 4.6 acres of corn planted March 17. It is just starting emerge.



5 acres of wheat/clover.



Pear orchard. Going to be lots of pears this year.











Clover plot in the woods. Sawtooths on the right. There should be acorns this year.

Those pears look great. Our blooms haven't even fully opened up yet.

 

[David]

Impressive.

 

[weekender21]

Wow, almost summer down there! Looks great, definitely plenty of food for the deer.

 

[George]

very nice cutman.

I see you don't have any protector tubes on the young trees, don't you have any trouble with rabbits girdling the trees?

Nope. Don’t have to worry about rabbits. Just deer.

 

[cutman]

I’m still having problems with this stupid pond. Note: don’t ever put water hyacinth in a body of water that you like.



Baby birds are enjoying my corn feeder.
