"Whitetail Hollow" - 90 Acres NE Oklahoma.

I sprayed half my pond this weekend with Shore Klear, 17% gly. I have the same watershield problem you have. I see yours is working. I mixed 32oz to 10 gallons. In 2 weeks I will spray the rest. If that doesnt work I may have to get the Weed Razor.

Awoke this morning to a good rain which lasted almost till 5:00 pm today.

While I had some downtime I noticed Google earth had updated and I got a good picture of our south plot expansion. It is everything that is dirt in the photo.

It looks like this now with clover and WR grain in all the new dirt.

I decided to take a quick trip across the road as soon as the rain slacked off. I saw a doe beside the south plot and figured her fawns were nearby, possibly in the rye grain or hinge cuts...

A bit further down the path I saw a young buck I was able to take a quick cell phone photo of.

The woodland hinge cuts are thickening up nicely and the increased sun light to the ground is causing a lot of new growth.

Tender hickory shoot browse which is the only use we see by deer of hickory...ever!

A quick shot of our back yard here on the hollow...Barduro red clover nearly waist deep. Durana white that is over knee deep and WR grain...all growing out of a flint rock hillside...

Place looks great as usual. I remember how rocky that ground was when you planted . Great results. Looks like you have your typical trophy bucks coming along. Season coming quickly.

Thank you dogghr...it is a rock pile for sure and proof that with good moisture you can grow great stuff in just about anything!

I have a couple bucks I hope show back up. Haven't seen them yet on cam...

Well, I rushed home after getting out of work late because I wanted to get the banks feeder moved to the new pole and filled completely up so I could just stay off that side of the road until fall planting time. I got that done and I sprayed GLY in the cuts I made on the hickory to try to get them killed out.

On the way out I drove the tractor past the south plot and noticed a tripod slinger feeder on the ground. I know it was up yesterday evening late when I was over there. The feeder had been wallowed around quite a bit but I couldn't tell what did it. It rained more overnight so all tracks were washed away. Feeder had been empty for several months. I got it set back up and put 50 lbs corn in it and reset the timer and as I drove to the other end of the plot I saw the other empty feeder down as well...

Either my hog decided to take them down or bears or the neighbor kids...wasn't wind...I am hoping hog...

Stay tuned while okie figures this out. Probably is that bruiser of a hog. So glad rain has blessed you this year

Loving all the regular rain updates, so glad for you. I still haven't had time to check the camera at the Banks feeder. My next trip up shouldn't be so busy, although I've been saying that since I bought the place.

Not much to post on the habitat front. Staying out of the hunting side of the road for a couple weeks and then I will check a couple cams.

Friday night the grandson and I took the GTO to Fort Gibson Cruise night and got into the burnout contest. Ended up doing well but tires didn't fare too good...

Tires were worn out when I started so no loss...changed the tire/wheel combo and took it to another cruise night Saturday night in Stilwell...had a blast! Here is a photo somebody took and my wife found on facebook...

Grandson Eli spent the weekend with me and we had a great time!

Yep I just knew you be doing that Okie when I passed by Fri night our weekly rod show in town that goes on all summer. Thot of you. Got quite a few friends with various rides. I usually park my German in adjacent lot and hang out.
At MB and Daytona bike week, there are same burnout contests like you show, but if you blow tire, then you get free new tire. One of the best was in MB before they shut down that rally where burnouts were popular inside the bar. Couldn't see guy beside you from burning rubber smoke. At a place called Suck Bang Blow of all things. OSHA would have a coronary.

That is awesome! Loving the flat black. Cannot even remember the last time I saw a street rod near me with a blower.

Eli has got to love those trips with his hip grandpa!

 

[dogdoc]

No rain in my part of the state. Giving some chances at the end of the week.

The rain we got Saturday morning was a good one!

After the rain stopped my beautiful wife and I took the car to the Red Fern festival in Tahlequah and had a great time...

We left there about 4:00 and met my daughter and her family for some great mexican food for an early Father's Day get together. It was fantastic!

We got home around 6:00 so I put the spreader on the tractor and loaded it with 50 lbs of sunflower and 50 lbs of buckwheat and headed across the road to throw n mow into the WR/clover mix I planted in the expansion areas. I got seed down and then put the Brushhog on and went back over and mowed over it...

When I got done over there I decided to Brushhog the WR and Clover in our backyard and jumped this young buck up in our yard...

This morning we got another good rain which was perfect for the T N M I had done yesterday evening.

After church and grocery shopping I decided to go back across the road to touch a few things up...I left the WR in the center of the field for bedding and just so happens the same buck I saw yesterday was bedding in it when I got over there. There were also several turkeys but by the time I got my phone out they were already in the woods...

I checked the white oaks around the plots and they are loaded!

Some weed and clover browsed...

Well...been awhile on this one because haven't done anything at all habitat related. Been staying out of our place other than a quick trip over to check throw n mow buckwheat which looks to be a complete failure even though we have had good rains...can't find any that has taken even though it has been done nearly a month. Going to have to break soil for fall plantings...

We have spent quite a bit of time with the grandsons....

Got a little trip in to silver dollar city near Branson Mo...
