I was very fortunate that after my initial planting and drought afterwards that I was lucky enough to time a great rain and broadcasting a couple hundred pounds of seed. I might have the best plots in the area this year - and plenty of deer in camera including a couple nice bucks. Mostly luck...

Are you getting this rain today out at your place? We’re getting heavy rain both at home and out at the property. Prediction is 3 inches total today.This should finally end the drought. Two nights in a row I’ve seen bucks chasing does at home and one big buck who no one in the neighborhood has...

No harvest pictures but I filled an early season antlerless tag on Friday. A decent sized doe. Food lots are filling in nicely after a couple nicely timed rains but it’s still drought conditions out here. Lots of deer sign in the plots with droppings everywhere. I’ve got a couple trees down...

We got two rain events in three days and went right to upper 80s and no rain in the forecast. Even for Missouri it sure seems like the driest late summer and fall in the last ten years. Probably isn’t, but it sure feels like it.

We have lift off. 5 days after overseeding and getting some rain the same day. No rain in the forecast the next ten days but temps in the 80’s and there’s still some moisture in the ground.

Love it Jordan. Great to see a post from you.

We had rain forecast for yesterday afternoon and then off and on the next couple of days. I had 100 pounds of rye set aside just waiting for a rain. Yesterday looked promising so I threw the bags of rye in the truck, stopped at the local Dickey Bub’s and found they still had a bag of wheat and a...

Weather channel showed .2 yesterday out at our place. We got nothing at home. Hopefully there was enough viable seed still in the ground. Last weekend it was all still dust out there. I’m hunting this afternoon for a few hours so hopefully I can see signs of rain. I’m actually packing up to...

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...
