That's a beautiful site. Happy you got the rains.

Not yet. None of my bigger ones have showed, but that’s not uncommon given our lack of bedding. Plus the drought interrupted my plots last year so I lack food at the moment.

Keep an eye out everywhere you go. I bought some apple trees at a nursery in Topeka 6-7 years ago. When I drove back to load them there were 2 cultipacker sitting behind an old building. I asked if they would sell one. He told me to make an offer and $150 later it was in my truck too!

Several years ago.....I put a WTB add on Craigs List for a cultipacker. Farmer called me up.....negotiated over the phone and I drove about 50 miles to pick it up. Never know how you will find stuff. I see 'em on FB Marketplace quite often.

Finally had one of the bucks I thought was 3-1/2 or 4-1/2 last year show back up. He’s got some nice brows! If it is the one I think it was, he was a beautiful 150” 10 pointer last year.

He looks great at this point. What did he look like last year?

He looks like he might have a decent amount of junk ready to blow up this year based off last year's pics.

Corn looks great, how many acres is that and what time of year do the deer utilize it in Kansas?

I also tried to top dress my corn today. I planted it way thicker than I wanted. The recommendation was to apply more N to help it out. Well, life got in the way when I should have done it, so it got a little tall. Like real tall. I’m 6’3” and most of it was taller than me. Some was a foot taller. My chest spreader wasn’t doing it. I tossed some by hand. I did 3.5 bags of the 10 I was supposed to do and almost had a heart attack stroke. Plan B is to use the new blower spreader I got, but the hopper is tiny. Has to be better than what I tried though. That’s a problem for another day.

Drone spreader!

3.5 acres. It’s gonna be a draw probably late November and later. More of a rifle spot for dad, but I want to knock it down strategically to move deer where I want earlier. I am surrounded by beans this year and that’s where they are gonna want to go. I have a redneck blind between my corn and the beans that should be good.

Edit: I do plan to overseed the corn with brassicas and rye that may provide an earlier draw. We’ll see how it grows.

You're going to have a problem with brassicas (and probably rye) if you applied accuron, FYI.
