My hemp rope is still being "seasoned" - IE Left outside for the past 6 months. Still stinks like something unnatural, maybe it will be ready Fall '24..
Update: Original photo above was Nov 24th.
Have photos through December of him checking scrapes, pushing other bucks, etc. Appears not to have phased him at all.
Amazing animals.
If not doing beans or corn, you'd be hard pressed to beat an Alice / Red clover field in the summer for deer food. I frost seed this exact clover mix into my cereal grain / brassica green fields each winter. Mow all summer, then disc under for a fall plot. Or spray and no til into it...
Hoping so, has a lot of potential. Starting to throw a 5th point on the right side behind one of the brow tines.
Need to review some more recent pics to see what he looks like. That was late November. More pics to go through..
Interesting. Maybe I need to try a heavier mix with these. Mark Drury is a fan of pure radish stands as well.
I have a small 1/4 acre corner by a stand I may try that this year..
One could almost "micro manage" his brassicas with the PTT further out away from stands (post season food) and...

- DE Rape - Eaten early and often for me. Deer and turkey both seem to demolish the leaves from early season (September) onward. Been a good staple, will keep...
Maybe Dual? I know guys use that for soybean / milo intercropping.
I just disc in soybeans and milo together with about 200# AMS. Always have a great stand of milo. Soybeans here and there depending on how the deer pressure is over the summer. Great thing is they leave the milo alone so...
"Field Rats" as farmers refer to them..
Yes, different mentality completely. If you're a farmer with no interest in hunting, they are nothing more than yield robbers.
Lots of great knowledge on Agtalk..
The fact that guys are killing coyotes or racoons still doesn't excuse the fact that they and/or their dogs are trespassing on my property.
I have zero tolerance for that kind of entitlement, and lack of respect.
That's awesome, wish I could get some on our farm in MO. Wonder if stocking works to get a wild pop started? Studies seem to show it does not with quail.
