Anyone bush-hog/disk rye in late August to reseed plot?
I have a couple hidden food plots that I like to leave in Paul's rye/oats/pea blend for a few years and this year I was thinking of bush hogging the rye and lightly disking the seeds in to keep it simple and not have to drag my drill to...
How many of you guys have killed mature bucks early in October?
What has been the strategy?
I have corn on one of my places and am leaving a couple acres so I knocked down a corn path in the middle of the field to connect two treestands on the east and west sides of the corn.
Do you guys...
Dbltree,
This is the best info on food plots period.......thanks for your expertise.
I did your Rye, AWP and Clover mix and it looks unreal. Based on the picture of the N benefits, should I mow the clover when it heads out or leave it and till it under a couple weeks before I plant my fall...
Rye, AWP's
Do dbltree's rye and Austrian Winter Peas mix (i wouldn't do the clover cause it will flood out the next year) and I believe you will plant it in August. I did it last year and it worked unbelievably. Go to dbltrees's corner in this whitetail management section and I believe he has...
I have about mile of a 5 foot trail throughout my timber that I want to plant to a clover/rye mix.
I took dbltree's hinge cutting to heart and put my own twist on it. I marked a main deer trail and hinge cut on both sides of it so that i basically have a secluded trail that now gets some...
Thanks! So if you were to put a permanent ground blind out for days when it's raining/snowing, would you place it to work for an easterly wind?
Thanks!!!!!!
I am building a couple ground blinds and wonder what wind direction usually come when it's raining/snowing?
Last year there were alot of E (NE/SE too) when it rained.
Just curious so I put them in a location that they will be used.
Thanks!

I have about 100 acres of hardwoods (mature white oaks) on the very southern end of my property. It has lots of ironwoods and scattered honey locust trees in it. If I were to take all the trees but the white oaks there would be enough sunlight for dbltree's rye, oats, pea and red clover mix...
Liked it
I have tried to mix my own (my dad feeds cattle and has piles of the distillers grain laying around) and it will get moldy if you mix it on your own because of it's moisture.
I love their product and they will dig and paw at this stuff like a salt/mineral product. Mix it with whole...
Dick's Sporting Good's Clearance
Dick's Sporting Goods has an awesome hang on that is on clearance for $49.99. I bought a bunch last year also. Big platforms and well built. Just call a Dick's and ask if they have any hang on's left on clearance.
I've been walking my property a lot over the last month looking at the deer sign (trails and beds) and marking potential tree stand trees.
The beds are mostly in my cedars. I've only owned the property less than a year. Do you guys find your deer bedding much in the cedars during the hunting...
Great Post! Thanks...........will remember that next year!
Is the seed size any different between field peas and AWP's?
Was hoping field peas were a little smaller so would go thru my drill better when mixed with oats and rye.
Thanks Very Much Dbltree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1. Place stands for every wind (even E)
2. Rattle Bags do work (always used real horns and started carrying too much to stand so tried a rattle bag)...rattled and killed a 185 inch buck...............can't over-rattle though
3. Pay Attention Late Antlerless Season (young shed bucks look very...
Rule of thumb has always been that on your side, if you look at the fence, cut it in the middle and the left half you are responsible and the right half your neighbor is responsible (maybe vice versa).
This seems fair in the old days but now with rec ground being bought for hunting, maybe...
Love them all..................what are your guys thoughts on GROSS vs. NET score................i bet there's a ton of cool and narly GROSS bucks that aren't as publishized as these deer cause they didn't NET well.
Thoughts?
I personally think GROSS is my true score. NET's are for fish!
We shot 5 does tonight. Had 2 guys in the tower analizing the does and almost killed a shed buck and 2 button bucks.
No matter how good you are, it is far too hard to judge shed bucks right now.
When we took them to the locker tonight, there were 5 deer that were just brought in and 3...
