I agree with this. It's a very good video. I applaud Missouri for taking the steps they have to contain the spread.

My land in Wisconsin is in a county with a very high CWD infection rate. The township I'm in has an infection rate of about 29%. Despite the harvest dropping the last four years the deer population is not growing in my county. GPS collar studies are showing the decline is because of CWD, not EHD...

After reading all the responses in this thread I decided on about 6 pounds per acre. I ended up reducing my plots from 1.5 acres to 1.25 acres and added 5 pounds of red/white clover to the whole mix. I plant tomorrow with a good chance of rain Saturday and Sunday.

Coated slow release urea is only a couple dollars more a 50# bag for me. Would you use that at the time of planting over uncoated urea?

Great idea! I'll probably try this.

How did you modify them? Any pics?

Thanks for the feedback!

Menards has the Outta Site Eclipse 5-sided blinds for sale for $499 or $444 after rebate. Same blind as the habitat 5 or Thicket 5 blind, it has the same assembly instructions. I bought two of them and I'm waiting for them to be shipped to my local store. Outta Site Eclipse 356 you bought a...

Thanks, I'll try video this year. The GardePro's were on trails...my cell cams on solar panels did the heavy lifting in the food plots.

I got a whole season (July-March) on a set of regular batteries last year in the cheap GardePro E5S. I only had it taking pictures, no videos. How is battery life if you set it for video?

Sounds like you got a great deal! But I'm not looking to plant straight radish and I don't need that much seed.

The seed company I'm buying from sells the following in 3-5 pounds, so I could choose from these... Balansa Clover White Dutch Clover Ladino White Clover Alsike Clover Medium Red Clover Crimson Clover Frosty Berseem Clover Southwest Wisconsin.

I'm planting about 1.5 acres of brassica this year. This is the blend I'm considering: 20% Turnip 20% Rape 20% Kale 20% Forage Brassica 20% Radish The seed company recommends 9lbs per acre. That rate seems a little high. They sell 3,6 & 9 pound bags. 9 pounds is $55. I'm not so concerned about...

I quoted what he said specifically about the rut time period and how bucks naturally spread out during this time, leaving better habitat for lesser habitat. He did say in December the bucks go back to the best habitat.
