    Conspiracy theorys, where do you stand?

    I’m a conspiracy enthusiast! I love to hear them. Some make sense, some are just too far out there for me to even be able to fathom. I believe one of the original ones though. That Jesus died on the cross as the son of God and was resurrected three days later. That’s the most important one in...

    Unattractive summer legumes

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Will look into everything mentioned. Ikeman, doe killing would be most helpful I think. I believe I’m the only one in the area doing it and if I kill them in the fall they have been replaced by new ones in the spring. Unfortunately I only have the 20 acres...

    Unattractive summer legumes

    Does such thing exist? I have access to 20 acres in middle Georgia and looking for something to plant in a 2.5 acre plot for the summer. The only things that have withstood browse pressure have been grasses (sorghum and millet) in the past. Soybeans and cowpeas have been a no go. I tried sunn...

    November drop persimmon

    Anyone know of a variety that consistently drops in late October, November, early December? I’m in zone 8a and wanting to graft some later dropping varieties near a stand location. The only one I’ve seen mentioned is deer magnet, but I haven’t seen anywhere I can get scion wood for that variety...

    Late season food source planting here is just an average fall mix. Wheat, rye, crimson clover, Apache arrowleaf clover, sometimes some radishes or Austrian winter peas. I can generally count on two hands the amount of nights that are below freezing so that mix stays green all winter. 356, the...

    Just to add, Georgia has an extremely long season. Bow season starts in September, rifle comes in October and lasts until January Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    My plan is to have a box blind on the field for my daughter and I to hunt by next season. It won’t satisfy my desire to bow hunt, but will hopefully allow a less intrusive hunt. You are spot on with creating a late season food source. I often have 10+ does feeding in the fields in late December...

    Exhausted!

    Sounds like an eventful day(s) yoderjac. Been a busy week for me too. Butchered two deer of which we got 30 pounds of bacon burger, 10 pounds of Italian sausage, 16 pounds of jalapeño cheddar summer sausage, some ground, roasts, and steaks. Also rendered lard, butchered chickens, making chicken...

    Everything you can see besides the pines on the extreme north and extreme south of the property is very thick natural regen. It’s what I would consider ideal bedding. Lots of green briar, blackberry, and other forbs and grasses mixed in with some pines and hardwoods. The pines and hardwoods in...

    Bill, I was thinking that next summer I would plant wgf sorghum in the big field and then broadcast a mix of wheat and clover in the fall. Hoping that the sorghum would provide enough cover to make the more mature deer in the area feel comfortable using it in daylight, and/or obstructing their...

    Thanks for the replies guys. I am in GA if that matters for anything and primarily like to bow hunt. With that said, I will build a blind next year for my daughter and I to sit in on the big field and will probably hunt it several times during the rut. I have planted pears, crabapples, sawtooth...

    Looking for input from the gurus on here. I hunt a 20 acre property that my mom lives on. There is a 2.25-2.5 acre plot as well as a half acre plot in the back corner of the property. To the east of the bigger plot is a few acre section of natural regen that the deer like to bed in. To the east...

    Game plan help

    I’m just south of you in Haynesville. Lived in Perry until this past summer. I may have to give that a shot. Would sure be a lot easier. Just have to get my hands on a sprayer. Do you think having crimson and arrowleaf clover mixed in would hurt anything as far as doves/weeds/etc the following...
