I thought I would be cool and go spread some cover crop seed into the standing corn before last night's rain. The hope was it will germinate and grow some so when I go knock some of the corn down it will be there already. Never again... 
Those leaves tore me UP! Long sleeves and gloves were great. My face and neck look like I fought a cat! Haha! Probably won't even grow anyway. Its tough walking the row with a bag spreader and its all 4' over your head. Didn't help that I had to wait until we got the kids to bed, so most of it was in the dark. Never never again...

I've been trying to develop an easy access, low impact spot the past few years. It was mostly intended for getting our does at, without having to put extra harvest pressure on the interior. Turns out bucks like the location of the plot also. Deer can filter in from an untouched piece of...

Post 44 gives an update. I want to hoof it over to it, but stand nothing to gain. The truth will come out soon enough, lol. How about yours?

Got a new tree stand hung today. I wanted something along the West edge of my corn for East winds. We seem to get more of those lately. It’s not the easiest tree to climb, but there weren’t many options along that side. View is great once you get up there. I plan to strategically mow my corn to encourage a close shot. When I do that I will send up the drone and lay it all out for you guys. First view is looking almost straight South. Second is pretty much East. Nice lanes. I did clear the lone stick in the top pic. I could see that being a problem in low light.

Picked this up today. The guy and his dad own a welding/fabrication shop. He said he thought it needed more weight, but otherwise worked great. For $360 I think I can do something with it. He bent the tongue when they were moving it to the auction. I should be able to straighten it. Excited to see what I can accomplish with it!

The leaf blower seeder would shine in that kind of application.I thought I would be cool and go spread some cover crop seed into the standing corn before last night's rain. The hope was it will germinate and grow some so when I go knock some of the corn down it will be there already. Never again...

I placed a $400 max bid online and honestly forgot about it until I got the email that I had won.

Me and the leaf blower seeder aren't getting along. I'm thinking I have discovered a blower tube that is too small? The seed is blowing out sideways through the gate rather than out through the end of the blower tube. My thought is that the "cup" that protrudes down into the tube is restricting too much airflow due to the small diameter of the blower tube? Not sure. Frustrated me when I tried to do my brassicas into standing buckwheat a week or so prior.

Last I heard, you're blower tube needs to be 2 3/4" or 3".

Yeah, I didn’t (and still don’t) find that on the website. It for sure won’t work on the blower I posted before. Sound concept when setup right I am sure.

I am sure you can weld up a tray for the top of it that will hold a few cinder blocks. Those things add a lot of weight for little money and if they are just riding in a tray on top you can take them off when transporting it if you need to.Picked this up today. The guy and his dad own a welding/fabrication shop. He said he thought it needed more weight, but otherwise worked great. For $360 I think I can do something with it.

That’s the plan. Use some angle iron to make it. It has a fill plug for water, but I think I would rather put the weight on top. It is really heavy built except for the tongue it seems…

As promised here is the layout. The red X on the left is a Redneck blind. The X on the right is the new tree stand I hung a couple weeks ago. The blue arrows represent typical deer travel and entry points. I do not own the land beyond the cornfield. My hope is the deer will want to come around the edges rather than walk across the corn rows. The lanes I cut are each 25 yards from either stand/blind location. I left the bits of corn to aid in concealment when entering/exiting those locations. Our rifle season begins the Wednesday after Thanksgiving. I plan to mow the rest of the field the weekend before that to allow you to shoot the whole thing. There was a surprising amount of oats/brassicas/clover in between the rows from my earlier broadcasting. We'll see how well it survives the duff. I have 150# of rye to spread any time now and it should be able to work its way down to the soil. There is so much corn on the ground... Haha!
