Yesterday we planted a .25 acre plot of large ladino clover and chickory which will be my apple orchard we will plant in the spring. It was a little wet tilling but turned out good.

Yesterday evening my son, my dad and me bow hunter for the 1st time this year. I sat on my power line plot which the deer mowed down in the last 2 weeks and there was nothing left. It is about a .25 acre plot of brassicas. Yesterday I over seeded with red clover so we will see what happens. I saw 1 doe. My dad saw 1 spike and 4 does and my son saw a 4 point and 2 does.

The hand seeding does not bother me as I like the exercise. My 18 year old Jack Russell terrier was out there inspecting my work.

Well I guess I will have a nice strutting plot for the gobblers come spring.
Our clover plots sure do drag in the turkeys in the spring and the only problem I ever have is I can't beat the turkeys to the plot for afternoon hunts and it's hard to keep from busting them out of the trees around the clover on morning hunts...
Red clover is some good stuff. I think you will like it!

As a retired firefighter I have been trained in High angle rescue and confined space rescue so its kind of 2nd nature for me. I have them on all stands and all hunters have to where a safety harness system when hunting.

Spent the weekend at the farm bow hunting. Saw lots of does and a spike. I did see a massive buck that is definitely a pope and young when I was walking out Saturday evening from my stand. The new chickory/ladino plot has germinated and definitely needs more rain. I over seeded my small brassica plot that the deer already browsed with red clover and it has germinated. Nice weather this weekend and my wife enjoyed camping out and sitting around the campfire in the evening. Also found my first rubs of the season.

Looks like some moisture still in your soil. I put in Red Clover about the same time you did but have had very little try to germinate.Chickory/ladino clover plot we will be planting our apple trees into next spring.

Could use a little more rain. We have only had .33 in one rain fall since the Ladino was planted. The brassicas are doing great. Seen a ton of does last Saturday eving in one field at the same time.
