    Holy cow! That looks great. Glad to see somebody is having good luck with plots this year. We're finally getting some rain around here, so hopefully ours will start to do better. Good luck shooting a monster in there this year :)

    I'm using there Bowstand blend. Can be found exclusively at Gander Mountain or bought on Whitetail Institutes website. I submit a soil sample every year and base my lime and fertilizer use off of that. I find it to be a money saver cause each year I seem to have to put a little less lime and fertilizer down.

    You can buy it at Buchheit's as well. I looked at it but it had a bunch of weed matter in it. Looks like that's nothing to worry about though. It looks great!

    Awefully dry summer here in NE PA... A few heavy rain days separated by dry weeks. Unfortunately my hose and sprinkler don't reach my food plots. LOL - still got 4 plots in & a dozen American Hazlenuts. In a year or 2 those Hazlenuts will be better draws that any of the food plots I hope...
