A few habitat pics I thought you might enjoy

[Bill]

I just realized that's 50 cent from last year. At least I think it is based on the the smaller G2 than G3. Time will tell.

Sorry for,the thread Jack :)

I think 50 Cents may now be a Dollar!!!

Thank you Bill, and I appreciate the encouragement. I just enjoy the habitat work so much, I never get tired of doing it.

It seems like getting a chainsaw in my hands and working up a dripping sweat is the best therapy I can get to keep me on track in life.

Update..
I saw him in person at 1:00 today when I went to spread fertilizer on some brassica's. He was in a strip of clover I had sprayed and seeded. From behind running away I'd say he'll only walk by me once. Much more impressive in person.

 

[Bill]

Again sorry for the thread Jack. I know you don't mind. Here's the rear view I got the other day.



Don't think it's 50 cent. His G2's are inferior but 50 didn't have pan handle G3's



This is about the time I pulled in the drive with the side by side. Plenty of "good" deer over the years could care less from this distance. He's not going to be a chip shot at all! Early July and he's on high alert...

I feel sorry for you Bill, with multiple big-racked bucks that you have to catalog with specific antler configurations !! Native and you seem over-populated with big ones and need to transfer a few to - say - Pa. ?? !! I have a great " seeding " spot.

I'm gonna start one of those Tony L businesses and get Bill as my first customer. Of course, to do a thorough job I have to go out to his place and hunt for a few weeks so I will get a feel for the land....LOL!!

^^^^ I make a good travelling partner for deer ................... what should I call it .................... investigations / specimen collecting. I'm thinking Bill would L- O - V - E to have us, Native !!

Just thought I would update this thread with a few recent pictures.

Second year in a row with a set of triplets. It's been hard to catch them all together on camera.

Thanks for sharing! Everything looks good. I noticed in one of my plots all the chickory, I don't remember planting any there but there might have been some in the clover mix.

Thanks. I go to a place up in Northern KY to work 4 times a year, and the wild chicory is amazing up there. The fields are just full of it. We drove by one big field that was just glowing a sea of blue. I wish I had taken a picture.

 

[Bowsnbucks]

The wild chicory is all over along our roadsides here in Pa. It turns otherwise barren, gravelly, bland road edges into ribbons of blue. Too bad the plant itself is kind of scraggly looking. If it was nice and leafy & lush - I'd probably have " collected " a few sample for the wife's garden. The flowers are tough to beat for blue color.

I showed my wife your pix, Native. ( post # 450 ) She " saved " the pic of the chicory and the barn - she said it was a really neat picture. That's the kind of pic she and I take when out driving / hiking through the country here. We like old barns and old weathered trees.

Thanks Bows, and so glad you wife liked the picture.

There is a lot of difference between wild chicory and the better varieties of forage chicory. The later is much more palatable. But, they eat the wild stuff too, and I understand that cows love it as well.

I made a separate post on this but wanted to also put the pics of my son's 2016 buck in my habitat thread - just to keep a record here. Picked him up today.

 

[Native Hunter]

Got just a few pictures to add.

Native,

I have been working on a big transmission line project forever, but if I ever finish I think out of all the places I have seen on here and the former host site yours is the place I would like to tour the most. Take care. WTNUT.
