I shred mine down to about 6" 3 times a year. The thatch hasn't impacted it negatively yet. Not saying it won't happen but It sure looks great, It looks as good as a neighboring farmer's stand. I don't do the first mowing until late June as turkey and quail seem to nest in mine. Found a couple...
I have fruit trees orchards that border or are in middle of my food plots. I think the fruit trees are the biggest draw for deer once the fruit starts dropping. They make all the other plots just that much more of a draw. The orchards sizes are from 7 to 18 trees and there are 7 of them. If...
I put in alfalfa plots 2 years ago, after 16 years never trying it. I will never be without an alfalfa plot again. It was an amazing draw from green up to dormancy. They still hit it after going brown but not as hard but I can always count on deer eating in it every day. This past year, with...
Skip, how often do you batwing it in a season? I do mine in late July and then again in late August. (I don';t cut mine earlier than July for fear of killing fawns and turkey nests) The stand is very lush and full. It is two years old. To me, it looks as good if not better than the neighbor's...
Nothing wrong with a landowner leasing out their land for hunting but taking the money and letting illegal activities run freely, turning a blind eye is the issue I have.
Thanks for sharing this link. That story just makes my blood boil. Besides the POS that did all the illegal actions, the landowners who leased out their land are part of the blame. There is no way they didn't have an idea of the illegal activities going on. Locals are pretty keen on what's...
On the rows that I have planted for barrier and hiding purposes, they only walk through the holes I have cut in them. My rows are dense, 5' thick. I use these holes to channel them through where I want them to go. They have followed the script.
On rows that I didn't plant to turn into barriers...
Just sharing what the NRCS is having me do in NE on my crp maintenance. Shred in
April or early May, then apply 12oz per acre on the crp after July 15. I'm just wasting my money because of do it by the gov books.
The lake we're on was a clear lake prior to zebes showing up but they made it so I could with my own eyes see (in perfect conditions) 17'.They've crashed and it has fallen some but 12' is still easy on calm sunny days.
Those lies aren't good enough ones for you, eh? Please do tell me about which countries are ripping us off besides China and taxing our imports unfairly.
Starting trade wars and strong arming an ally into capitulation is a fine look for this administration. The only reason he is trying to...
I'm not Skip but Trump gives embellishment on many things and outright lies on the rest. If one takes the time to research Trump's "facts" on money/value of equipment spent on Ukraine, He's over double the actual amount, His stating Zelensky is a dictator and not agreeing Putin is, he has since...
