Scott's habitat improvements

[scott44]

Finished up getting my cereal grains in yesterday, part of this is going to be a clover plot so next year I'll clip the rye and have the clover.



Clover plot is down by the tree tubes.







Ran a strip next to the sorghum plot, this too will be a clover strip.

Good work Scott. Everything's looking real good. Deer ought to like it all.

Thanks guys! Didn't know how things were going to turn out because it had been a pretty dry summer but we've had some timely rains lately.

Looking good Scott. How's the Colorado packing going?

No packing yet, leaving next Tues morning and start hunting Thurs. Looking forward for some time off and early hunting.

That is some fine looking plotting, and the blind looks great too.

The grains I planted recently look at about the same stage as yours in the pictures. We are needing a good drenching rain here for them to really take off.

Since I planted these cereal grains we've had over 3" on rain, they are doing really good.

These pics were taken after it had been in a week. It'll 2 weeks on tues.

That's going to be lush green when you get back.

As usual your plots look great. Did you work up the strip by the sorghum? Good Luck and enjoy your Colorado hunt,

Pulled cards last night and everything seems to be liking the cereal coming up. Tues. it will be 2 weeks on these plots.





Not sure if this is the same buck or not.

It looks like you have a bumper crop of future deer this year!

I believe there are 3 sets of twins and a couple singles.

Cereal grains are doing well, the only rain in the last 10 days was day before yesterday and we got 1.5".







Curious to see how long the sunflowers are going to last, my guess s not much longer.

Looks great. How many pounds per acre to seed your grains at?
