Hewlette S. Crawford, a research wildlife biologist with the US Forest Service compiled this research in 1982. I find it's an interesting chart that seems to fit well with my observations on what foods whitetails eat in what season, however, being that it's from Maine, it may have slightly differing results due to the habitat differences.

My spraying rig with 13' collapsible boom for my twenty acres of deer plots. Corn and beans need a lot of spraying. Some fields such as we established clover don't need much spraying. Small grains and brassicas don't get any spraying. 25 gallons does 1 acre at 4 mph doing several feet overlap. 2 acres at 7 mph and doing very little overlap.

I like this setup...where can I get??

The chart is interesting - I feel that the author had an affinity for mushrooms more than the deer possibly. Otherwise I agree with the general observation here for big woods whitetail.

Unfortunately I can’t get my hands on Thunder here in the commie state of New York so I’ll have to stick with your cocktail recipe of Clethodim and Butyrac. It has been working great for me so far.

Where can one get Thunder?

Cool and interesting chart and like you said probably location biased. I love ferns but never seen deer browse them whatsoever. Mushrooms occasionally. The rest can't argue much of the rest. Always like your precise explanations of your plot management. And your chemical knowledge could fill a book. Our lands are very similar despite the diff in lattitude. Thanks for showing.

It was strange how it was just after my friend DoubleL built a big new shed for his food plot equipment that I suddenly realized that I need another shed for my habitat equipment! I guess it's called keeping up with Lenny...

Nice build! Pretty sure that ain't his first rodeo.

It's my weight loss program. When I was younger I was lighter and and could move faster, now I've got to speed up the video to look respectable.

It is a beautiful thing to see someone so skillful in their craft. Excellent work Mennoniteman.

Mennonite, is that mortared stone veneer or the stone veneer siding that you screw on?

That's mortared veneer stone. Pressure treated 5/8" plywood 4' high on a typical Pole Building frame, a layer of tyvek and a layer of black felt paper, a layer of wire, a scratch coat of mortar, then the 1 3/4" thick veneer stone are stuck to the face with mortar and pointed. This method is the same price per sq ft as nailed on stone panels, and is a better job IMO.

I'm doing a Timber Stand Improvement on a section of woods. Loggers don't walk around in the woods with a chainsaw anymore;

Very nice. That changes the game a lot. I have not seen them used in this area yet, but there may be somebody doing well enough to have progressed to a machine like that. It looks like it will very minimal damage to remaining trees. Looking forward to hearing how it works out for you.
