Very pleased with my plot so far. Planted 17 days ago and no rain till day 14 in. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
I planted 8 acres of plots Wednesday. I planted a mix of buckwheat, soybeans, winter wheat, winter peas, turnips, alfalfa, red and white clover and planted it all thick as dog hair. No-tilled it all in burnt down summer cover. It should make quite an attraction if it grows.
Broadcasted mine so not as thick as I want but will be going in to fill in gaps with some winter rye at some point soon. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
I'm volunteering at my hometowns ag celebration and when I'm done with that, I have to start moving stuff into the new house. Would much rather be doing something hunting related. Feel like I have a long list of stuff to do. And I don't have a single camera out!!! Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
Taking the Wife to the airport this morning, she is on her way to Kansas to help the daughter with new twin grand babies. Might stop at Cabals an see if they got anything I can't do without. Sunday I will do some scouting and put a few cameras out.
I have everleaf oats, verdant barley, and triticale that needs planted, but I'm a total newbie with this stuff.
That's fine...it was a cheap experiment that I never got time to do right. I'll throw it down and see what happens.
If you mix them, you should have something reliable there for winter anyway. The triticale will be fine and pretty sure the barley is cold hearty.
It's the Cabela's cereal grain mix. I just plan to rake it in real well. No rain in sight though... I must have put my camera in video mode on accident, so I got lots of turkey and coon vids on this pull.
I have to run cameras tomorrow. I think I'm going to hang an extra set on over the feeder that Crossbow has been using a lot and see if I can get some sweet video of him and the big eight point he runs with. We're supposed to have a 90% chance of rain tonight and we need it pretty bad.
He was with the 8 last year too, right? I saw the same bachelor group again tonight. 8 bucks all over 120 and a couple are real giants. My wife even commented about them, and she knows zero about hunting.
Yeah, they have been pretty consistent about running together pre and post-rut: That second pic was the night before I sat on that hump on the other side of crossbow leaned up against that larger tree. The eight point came in that evening and walked right through where crossbow is standing and worked a scrape and I let him go at about 5 yards, lol. Crossbow was a no show and disappeared off camera until I think November. While I was sitting there that evening the neighbor to the south was shooting a rifle and the one to the northwest was also. I feared one of them shot Crossbow and continued shooting like they were practicing as cover. I don't know if I kicked him out of there or if the shooting spooked him out or if it was just stupid fate that he happened to change his area at that time. This is the eight point this year:
The food plot weekend project came around pretty well so far this weekend. It's an old landing we've used to make firewood on in the past. Lots of rocks to deal with but came along nicely. Below in the before and after pics so far. I was hoping to get seed in the ground this weekend but going to hold off until next weekend. Need to get it disk up better.
Got out to a local 3D club for a friendly competition today. 27 acres of walking up and down rocky hills and 30 shots at 3D targets. After that it was work in the garden where I picked more over 20 pounds of tomatoes and way more cucumbers...all in all its was fun day.
One trip to Lowe's I leave with 37 cabinet knob's, new door locks, more paint, bathroom accessories, door stops, and other crap I can't think of Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
