Picked up my food plot seed from the NWTF. Clearfield sunflowers and milo. Also had a guy give me a bag of corn so I threw some of that in too. Mixed with some fertilizer to even the spread. My old spreader is about due for an over haul. I need to replace the motor and spinner. When I was spreading the pellet lime and fertilizer the spinner locked up on me a couple of times. Probably have to do a little engineering since Polaris doesn't make these anymore.
Spread the seed, 150 pounds of trip 12 and 100 pounds of pellet lime on the plot I worked during turkey season.
Then tilled and packed it in using a trick Lickcreek taught me years ago on the old forum.
Just waiting on rain which has been pretty scarce up there.

I thought this post fire picture was pretty. Bad trees = brown, Good trees = green.
Some of the AO will come back from the roots. Some got very hot. I am anxious to see what these do.
We were 10/10 on leaf out for the MDC bur oaks we planted last trip.
This is my biggest chestnut - about 5 feet tall. If I found all the tubes I think I have 6-8 going, I must have hit a sweet spot on this one as its about twice as big as the rest.

The burn is filling back in pretty nice. Lots of broadleaf plants and scattered NWSG. Spayed a tank of crossbow on sprouts coming back from top killed AO. The fire also flushed plenty of sericia les., pastureguard will be the chemical of choice next trip.
Looks like I’ll have a decent pear crop. I was worried the late cold snaps got them, but should be the best year yet.

My big field has been catching just enough rain. Plenty of weeds with the sunflowers, milo, and corn. Should make a good bird feeder this winter.
The crossbow spray seems like it was effective on the AO burn regrowth. Time will tell but I like it so far.
About a week early on the blackberries. Everywhere I didn't burn is loaded.
This guy could get interesting. Not sure what is going on with that eye but it should up my odds of getting drawn back!

nice buck - maybe clubbed aside the head with a car fender or something, might account for the antler deformity too - looks like the pedicle is not in the right spot -

I'll be curious to see what he turns into! I wish my bigger bucks only had one eye, I need all the help I can get.

Yep that is what I was thinking too. Where this pic was taken he is about 50 yards from a stand and plot. But not to count chickens, it's the same spot my lump jawed buck was in last year all summer and I never saw him in person. This one would make a cool euro mount!

Not many doves flying this past weekend. Probably could have upped my odds with the brushhog but the quail and turkeys will appreciate it this winter if the deer don't mow it down.
The CRP after last springs burn.
Was planning on hunting the side where the crazy horn buck hangs out but I couldn't pass up the old oak. I was hit in the head three times by quarter size acorns.
Right across from the tree 2 kieffers, 1 ayers, and a couple of grafted misfits with a few pears.
One dink buck and 9 does in three hours.
The only problem was it was 90 degrees! Hurry up fall!
