    Shearwood Forest

    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...

    Shearwood Forest

    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...

    Herbicide residual

    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...

    Reolink Go PT Plus as a cellular trail camera

    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...

    Reolink Go PT Plus as a cellular trail camera

    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.

    Fertilizer question

    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

    Shearwood Forest

    Herbicide residual

    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...

    Herbicide residual

    Split decision, that seems to be what the internet concluded to. Thanks for letting me ask here and not Facebook I'd prefer to not get touched by 37 individuals for making a questionable choice. I guess I'll have to wait until next weekend and see if I have any germination at the 14 day mark...

    Herbicide residual

    I did some throw and mows this past weekend, all 3 locations were first time plots in dozer cleared locations. Planted clover, oats, and peas last weekend in April behind the clearing process and weren't touched all summer. This past weekend I revisited them. 2 of the 3 did well with good clover...

    Shearwood Forest

    This past weekend I did no "hunting" related work, just family time around camp. My wife painted up an old shed by the wildflowers patch I planted her a few weeks ago and hopefully what I planted turns out as nice as her painting. I'd like to plant a few fruit trees for her and I have another...

    Shearwood Forest

    Thanks, I'm enjoying the process. We have some good neighbors and that's a huge plus we even traded some construction roof work with the guys that lease next to us in return I planted 4 acres for them. Very familiar with the Keuka Lake area, before we purchased this place I was care taking a...
