Planted generic oats Sept 1st and they are looking fantastic. Fertilzed them heavy and they are about 5" tall, basically a lush salad bar for the deer. I also overseeded with Alice clover and it too is coming along nicely. My question: The deer are only eating my tiny clover and not even...

Hope everyone else is having some luck! Wow my opening day hunt was spectacular. I was hunting over my rye food plot and had a 5 year old buck I call Crab Claw show up right before dark. He walked up to 3 other bucks that were in the field and sparred with them for over 20 minutes. The...

Re: Clover - September 24th How much growth should I expect before frost on newly planted Alice white clover (Planted August 15th.)?? My clover is still very tiny and we've had good rains to get them started. STEVE

Here is an example that might help you out. I hunt one farm that is small (140 acres) and I run four cameras on that farm. There is one buck that I am after this year that likes to hang out in a very small area on the farm. Out of the four cameras I have out I repeatedly get pictures of him...

Thanks for your help! STEVE

Yes I noticed the acorns were dropping pretty good here too and the beans are still nice and lush. So what's the max height before they should get clipped? Here are the plots directly after they were planted and as of today: Honey Hole: (1/4 acre oats) 1 acre rye plot with peas

Checked my rye and oat food plots today. They are nice and lush, the rye is about 4-5" tall and same with the oats. All the plots are secluded and out of sight from anyone or anything. Out of 5 trail cams on three plots I was very disappointed with very little deer usage. There were hardly...

No he's not going down hill nor is he real old. He's looks like a 3.5 year old to me, maybe 4.5 but no more. STEVE

I'm kind of worried about one of my food plots that was planted Sept. 1st on a gentle side slope. The seed was packed but with all the rain were getting I'm fearing that all my seed washed away. Someone reasure me that aint happening!!!! STEVE

I put a water hole in this spring. First off if your soil doesn't have alot of clay in it, the water hole probably won't hold water. In that case here is what you can do. Call a well drilling company in your area and ask for Benseal. It comes in 50 lb bags. It's basically bentonite and it...

I would think you'll be just fine. Just wait for some rain. STEVE

We need a bigger picture to get a really good look. Based on what I can see I'd say in the low 140's and 3.5. STEVE

I have heard of people broadcasting turnips into beans for the late season. STEVE

So what do you think? STEVE

Not enough hours in the day and I'm probably not going to have time to plant my clover until Sept. 1st. I know it should be planted in mid August but what can I do. Will the clover still do fine? STEVE

I'm doing a mix of Alice, Kofu and Jumbo Ladino. Thanks for your help. STEVE

I've read the clover section by dbltree but I'm confused. Whats the seeding rate in lbs/acre for a fall clover plot? Will going heavy hurt the plot or have no effect other than wasting seed? Thanks STEVE

You da man!!! Thanks. One more question, should the urea go down before planting while discing or after they sprout? STEVE

Looking for advice on the best utilization of fertilizer I bought. I bought 400 lbs of 6-24-24 and 100lbs of 46-0-0 for my new food plots. I'll be planting one acre of clover (it's own plot) and one acre of cereal grains in late August. Should I apply most of the 6-24-24 on the clover field...
