I've been exploring and learning the public on the north side of 6 Sent from my Pixel 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Got a much needed cabin weekend in and with snow melted we did some family shed hunting. I didn't find anything from the 3 better bucks that were hanging around post season but we had a great overall haul scooping up 9 sheds from younger bucks that clearly appreciated the late season food...

That was the very best of multiple places I put it but it grew shockingly well overall. I did about 40-50# per acre of 17-17-17 just to get it started. That particular field plot is actually a bit of a struggle to best utilize. Its excellent soil but not really a good location to hunt over and...

6pt Cultipacker behind a tractor, it folded over very well without a crimper. Sent from my Pixel 7 Pro using Tapatalk

I planted my buckwheat June 3rd and June 18 planted 2 weeks apart because I wanted to terminate at different times for my fall plantings, the earlier planted buckwheat I did throw, roll and spray with brassicas, oats, and clovers with brassica being the primary seed at the end of July and the...

So these were new first time plots, carved out with a dozer then planted before green up without herbicide. We did solocal fast lime, 6-24-24 fertilizer, seeded clover blend, oats and peas late April (it was a cold spring still getting frosts in that time frame). The peas were a non factor, my...

Been some time but I'll update the thread with my food plot activities going into fall with some details about the planting and layout. Probably more for me to look back on next year but might have some interest to others to stumble across. The first is my barn field. Which was a weedy hay...

I'm very pleased with the 1 year transformation of this location. Original pictures is from March 2022 when I first walked the property pre purchase, I saw the potential of this little clearing deep in some thick cover on 3 sides but yet still had pretty easy access on the other. April 2023 I...

I wanted to follow up on my antidotal two week evidence. I'd say the residual did affect the seed or seedlings and some seeds more than others. First, I'll qualify weather conditions. After seeding we got immediate rain day of seeding, the following day after dry off I sprayed and that was...

I have standard blinks on my cabin, turned one around from watching my deck to the yard which covers the bird feeder, wild flowers patch, and pond in view. It's been really fun to sign in and see the wildlife hanging in the yard when we aren't there although they are almost never close enough to...

How are people liking these, I came across them today while looking for a cellular video cam to cover my barn where i dont have electric or wifi but now i'm thinking these could be better than trailcams for use in fields where you can see a lot more coverage area when signed in live.

What about doing it in 2 passes fertilizer then seed but driving the same pattern so you don't double up on what you crush with tires. Sent from my Pixel 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Intimidator, I'll report more on it once I get real time with it. So far we used it for 2 days Sent from my Pixel 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Spent a weekend on some foodplot work. Worked in a few different methods. 3 newer plots got throw and mow into the spring clover and oat growth Several acres of buckwheat were crimped and sprayed (first for me) A few acres got traditional disc, seed, cultipack This weekend was brassicas...

I guess I'll just have to wait and see, I saw someone else reference Craig Harper on the subject after that fact and that's what gave me the oh crap moment. I'm doing a lot of first time methods coming from a 1 acre of clover and the occasion brassicas planting per year to doing 10-12 acres...
