I scrambled up the hill Friday morning to get a round of cereal grain in ahead of what remained of the hurricane. The forecast was predicting at least 2 inches so I made a 2:30 AM departure and headed west.
The leaves are turning fast above 2k feet. We had a family camping trip planned this weekend but the storm delayed that good idea.
I put a camera on two deer carcasses a few weeks ago. The usual characters participated (bobcat, coyote, possum) but by far vultures did the most work with Ravens taking second place. Almost everything consumed in just 48 hours. Quite the impressive cleanup crew.
Plots were in good shape but the only cereal grain I planted in September were oats. On this trip I added winter rye at roughly 100 pounds/acre.
This is what the plots looked like when I added the rye.
Several rubs popping up already. No confirmation of giant bucks but there are a few 2-3 year olds around.
I scooped up acorns from a few of the deer’s favorite trees. Hoping to get a few seedlings started with the kids.
If we make it up this weekend it will likely be a family camping trip. The cold front definitely makes it temping time bring my bow though. Looking forward to November!
