The Land of Milk and Honey

I mowed another path through the NW section of the beans to the creek crossing. That will meet up with a path I started to knock down in the corn. It should help move deer in the direction I need (it won’t of course) and let me tuck a blind in the edge for dad. Giant ears of corn in there. I’ll make it at least three times as wide and use the Northern most skipped row as the path in and out. Should be fun.

Here is a view from the West. The goal is to get as many deer to walk across the creek crossing as I can. I know I have heavily modified things, but it’s been fun and helped distract dad from life right now. I don’t plan on putting in this much work every year. I kind of want to see what’s possible and make adjustment ls moving forward. I just love this stuff.

I agree with your thought process. Good stuff.

Deer love mowed trails and anyone sitting on them will have some decent action.

That looks like a hell of a setup.

I was wondering how I would know when my Milo hit the dough stage. It’s quite clear…

Oh wow! Looks like they cleaned that up pretty well. You gonna let it ride as is, or try to get another crop up yet? The leftover residue is a nice bonus.

They really hit about 10% of the total milo this hard, and it is right where they enter the field from the neighbors (my South line). I would prefer they not stick around in this area very long since it is right on the property line and I won't hunt it out of respect for the neighbors, difficulty in retrieving deer, and wind issues. I need them to move along and get to the other side of the field. For that reason, I will let this area ride. The Northern parts of the field have already been top dressed with a salad mix of oats, brassicas, cowpeas, clovers, etc... This result may actually be ideal. It will still serve its purpose of structure and residue while it should no longer be an actual draw to the deer.
