Show off! My pears get hit with frost every single year.

That would be nice but it doesn’t show a drop in the next ten days. We’ll see…going to be in the 80s here on opening day of archery season. I might sneak out for a couple hours the first Friday afternoon for my annual get the kinks out hunt. I usually hunt the least intrusive stand and just get...

Well I got everything in last Friday. We got about a tenth of an inch of rain on Wednesday this week, another tenth of an inch today with a chance for a little more tonight. Hopefully it’s enough to get things going and then maybe some cooler fall temperatures and morning dew to keep things from...

Yikes!

Interesting you say that. I left sections perennial clover in every food plot again this year too. It was really good in the spring but even now the clover is hanging on enough to at least provide something. I’d like to add some chicory but I’ve got such a huge smartweed problem that in order...

It seems I’m in the same boat every year - Welcome to Missouri Food plotting in the fall. Labor Day weekend is my best chance to get out and plant. Too busy the following weekend but no real rain in the forecast. I guess I’ll go out Friday and get my fall plots in and hope the rain shows up at...

Smoked eye of round, Louie’s Italian beef au jus, crab stuffed mushrooms, homemade air fryer fries - French dip sandwiches!

Grilled pizza on the Kamado Joe. Pepperoni, mushroom, and black olive on one and pepperoni, mushroom, yellow peppers, and tomatoes on the other.

Pork tenderloin, grilled corn in the cob, Amish potato salad, and grilled pineapple for our fourth July meal. My wife and I just got black from our anniversary trip to Pinehurst - our anniversary night dinner was steak Diane, with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetable and we shared a chocolate...

Posted these pics in my land tour thread too - couldn’t be more thrilled with the early results. I aggressively cut and hack and squirted three one acre areas and one half acre area this winter. Took a walk through it today and took a couple pictures.

Planted food plots three weeks ago (memorial weekend). The cereal rye and durana clover were looking really good so it was kind of painful to disc the clover in but that was the plan. The areas where the forestry mulcher worked last year were much thinner but still had stuff growing. I left a...

Follow up - May 24, 2025. It’s been almost a year since the mulching was done. Yesterday I planted a summer plot mix. In my already established areas I left a few strips of clover, mostly Durand and Ladino. Based on the recommendation of using legumes in the newly mulched areas I had planted...

Always wondered what bear tasted like?

Follow up - the plots turned out great for the fall. I spread a lot of lime and fertilizer and disced everything real well. The Rye has stayed green all winter and is still keeping the deer hanging around (as Rye does). I spread a mix of medium red, ladino, and Durana clover pretty heavy too...

Not really an experiment but last year I hired a forestry mulcher for a couple days to expand my food plots.. this year I’ll be working on amending the soil and establishing some late spring/early summer food plots and reestablishing a percentage of my plots in clover. Up until now I had used...
