Westwind. I would argue that the removal of the 20 year ban is largely the fault of one party. Elections have consequences. Please see my provided evidence: https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_votes/vote1192/vote_119_2_00084.htm

I have a hatch on a 54” wide x 66” long blind. The blind is 8’ tall. The blind is a gun only blind. I don’t mind it, but my 67 year old father hates it. Pros: -No door and sort of easier to build - no door framing, and especially -I think you can be stealthier gettting in and out...

Cat. I have a Herd GT77 and love it. It’s simple and built like a tank. Made by Kasco, the same guys that make drills.

I have a seen a beat down deer trail in the snow of deer going 1’ directly behind a camera, i assume to avoid the activation of it which spooked them; either via sound or light. I should have took a picture, but I didn’t. There was no obvious reason for all these deer to avoid this camera...

VTer, that’s another good point, in my beans I would have herds, literal herds of 50 turkeys. In the milo I have not spotted a single turkey. Not that I care to hunt turkeys in fall, but it’s interesting to watch them browse around for a couple of hours during the day and provide them with...

I h I did read a study maybe out of the University of Georgia. Basically the clover had to be strip killed with an herbicide for the corn to grow decent. With 15” rows on the milo that would be a lot of clover killed. I’ll try to find that study and post here

My milo planting next year, I’ll try to plant earlier and will definitely mix in about 50lbs / acre of forage soybeans. As far as deer preference in my area (that I can plant) I think beans followed closely by sunflowers are the best summer annuals that I can plant. I just have to develop a...

SS Early Longtail Milo. Growth was similar, the NW was planted with iron and clay cow peas, the PF was a stand alone planting. The deer mostly came into the PF Milo, but I could attribute that to more non-milo vegetation on the ground and a big ditch next to the PF Milo where all the deer...

Badger, that’s funny. We have about identical experiences except my summer spring was super wet, then I don’t think it rained an inch after I planted around June 20. Judging from the feedback on here, it seems my seed heads were also immature as well; and I’m not seeing any deer preference...

That was my plan, give it another year, maybe they will acquire a taste for it.

Thank you. This was my first year growing Milo, so still in the early parts of the learning curve.

Milo and peas in late July.
