Thanks again Daver. I have access to tractor and mower so I should be able to stay on top of the weeds. I am assuming any coop / farm service store sells clethodim? I already know for sure i will have some grasses to knock out in one corner of the plot.

With the weeds, what chemical can i use to spray? I have an ATV sprayer so that won't be an issue. I am also assuming that mowing will help once things start to pop up. I am hoping the clover outgrows everything else but am going to monitor very closely. Thanks again

Thought i would update. A buddy and I got all the leaves cleared off the plot last night and seeded a mix of white and red clover. Taking all the leaves off the plot left a great deal of bare dirt exposed so i should have good seed to soil contact. Got some soil from several different places...

Most of the trees have been removed when the landowner was fixing fence lines. This plot sits on a ridge top between 2 sections of timber. About 70% of the plot is full sun. The only trees that were left are mature oaks that drop lots of acorns. Most of the leaves are on the edge of the plot...

Good idea. I have one corner of the plot that started to get some grasses in it so i was already going to take an old push mower up there to mow it as short as possible. A lot of the plot is bare dirt, I had seeded brassica in to this plot last summer but i think due to a lack of fertilizer...

Thank you. I will take a leaf blower to the plot next week, although i am hoping that the 50 mph winds took care of the leaves for me.

Still very new to the food plotting process. I have a 1.5 acre plot in the timber that i had brassica mix in last fall. I want to frost seed clover in the plot this year. So couple of questions, hopefully not too dumb... 1. Is it too early to start putting seed out? 2. There are quite...

I am also heading out to Estes this summer. We used homeway.com and found a house to rent for the week. Lots of options and sizes depending on what time you are looking for. There were a couple other sites for rental properties when i did a google search as well. In the past I have had...

I would be against it. I think with current regs there are enough weapons to chose from. I guess I don't really see the need.

I bought a cannon safe from tractor supply. Not super high end but does give me piece of mind that kids cannot get to my guns. I like that half is shelves for other items like binos, ammo and spare keys, ect. They delivered to my garage and I had three other guys help move it. Wasn't too bad...

For what its worth this is Missouri's law, I have no personal knowledge on effectiveness, just did a google search. The purple paint is an interesting idea, would clearly define boundaries, and couldn't claim ignorance. Fines seem to be steeper. Two Degrees of Criminal Trespass First...

I have had good luck with the milo locker.

My understanding is that the distance does not matter, if there is a trail directly leading to an active feeder then you could be ticketed. Does not matter if its 400 yards or 100. The CO has quite a bit of discretion on what they interpret it. I would play it safe and not have feed in it...

Thanks guys! Can't wait to get him started.

At what age did most of you start your kids shooting bows? My four year old is dying to start, and loves the nerf one he has. All he talks about is getting a bow.

It seems pretty labor intensive. I have a number of buddies who do some home brewing and i have considered planting a couple plants.

http://www.press-citizen.com/story/news/local/2015/05/28/solon-farm-largest-hopyard-iowa/28088587/ I wonder if the deer will eat this stuff? :D I thought it would have a tough time growing in Iowa but seems like if you can get it to work there are some good profit margins. If only I had...

safe I got a great deal last Christmas from tractor supply. They carry cannon safes. I have been pleased with it, the biggest thing was it fit my budget.

I had a similar problem when i first put my covert's out. Once i changed the setting to the lowest sensitivity i got far fewer blank pics. Also like Daver said pointing them north whenever possible also helps. I also try to trim out any limbs or grass that may get picked up.

Thanks guys, sounds like the Dave Smith jake is the way to go. My buddy killed 5 birds in two different states over one last year. The past 5 seasons or so i was using a primos jake (don't make anymore) with a real tail fan. Worked really well the first couple years but the last two the birds...
