I think these little kill plots are the best! Seems deer use them all day when it's right next to the bedding cover. It's like us having a fridge in our bedroom. Great work! It looks like you did it right.
NH, great little spot you got there. Looks like that trio of the big girls approves too.
3 mature does and not one fawn. Not a good sight. Those does look at least 3, likely 4 plus. Do u know if there are fawns hanging with them? How many?
I just don't understand how you guys don't have plots down to the dirt? Some of you might actually have more deer than me and plots still above your ankles.
It's bone dry here too. Some of my rye is showing drought stress.
NH, Is it possible you have a predator problem? May need some coyote dogs run thru there later this winter???
Looks great NH! I'm excited to see how your season pans out!
My 2 micro plots failed this year. We are in a bad drought. The plots I disked are doing ok but the no till plots didn't do much of anything. Oh well try again next yr. The hard parts done (clearing).
Good looking plot NH!
NH, way to put the smack down the yotes. I've got quite a few up at my shack as well. Gonna try a bit of snaring during a couple of my 10 day stints up there.
