Stupid me, never thought of putting cameras on my ponds. I have one near a pond that gets the most pics and getting coming and going but I have 2 more ponds I can set cameras on. Thanks for that huge tip.

My wife,Dad and myself went out to the farm today and started on the fall plots. Had not been there in 21/2 weeks and alot sure changed. The corn is 8ft tall and the beans bit the dust. We got 2 one acre brassica plots planted today and finished 5 minutes before it started to rain. I pulled the cards on my cameras today and got a real nice tall 9 pointer. Last year I believe he was the one we called the tall eight. This years fall plots consist of Appin turnip, PTT, Groundhog radish, DER, and Pasja rape. Saturday We are going back to put in 2 smaller plots and that will leave my clover and chickory plot to finish around Sept 1. This clover and chickory plot is where I will be planting my apple orchard in the spring. The corn turned out really good on my dads plot. Most plants have 2 ears and some have 3. Love the Dekalb corn I got from the NWTF.
Wow...time is getting away from me on fall plots... that is great that you got them in before the rain. We haven't had rain in so long I am not sure what it is anymore 
You should get some great growth on the brassicas if the moisture holds out!

Thats what happened last year. After mine got about an inch tall we got no rain for a month so I planted 2 weeks earlier this year. We got another quick hit of rain this afternoon.

Using a right of way like that for a plot is a great way to use that space if it works out for you. Most right of ways won't allow brush or trees to grow so making it useful for the deer that way is great. Also looks like you got some nice deer running around. Nothing like a cam pic like that to convince you to get out of bed in the morning.

The power company cleaned up the cut last year just before I closed on the property. My wife was strongly urging me to put that plot in that location. I plan on doing some serious TSI work just to the west of that plot this winter and turn it into an over grown bedding area. I plan on just dropping every tree that has no timber market value.

Today my wife, future son in law and myself put up 4 Muddy skybox ladderstands. The setup went smooth. As I posted earlier we finished our brassica plots last weekend and since last Saturday the farm received 7" of rain. with over 2.5" overnight. 3 out of 4 plots looked real good with excellent germination. The 4th plot got flooded by a flash flood. My dads plot which has the shooting shack I built for him last year got turned over by the flood. Next weekend when we go back I will attach 2 skids since I can get them installed and then we will move it.
