I've currently got 6 out. Two are Moultrie I40's, the others are P41 homebrews. Another cam came in yesterday, so I'll have 7 out in another few days. That's enough for me, but I'm planning to build a few to sell this year...I really enjoy building them.

dlbtree, Thanks. I'd already read that in this thread. Average first frost date is around the 15th of October, so Planting in mid to late August would give me 6-8 weeks. I only hear about planting a pure stand in the fall...would it hurt anything to plant a nurse crop of oats in the fall?

Fanatic, 10-4 on the soil pH. If I decide to plant alfalfa, it'll be fall of next year. Buckwheat in the plot now, lime, disc BW under, roundup, rye in the fall, disc under in the spring, soil test again/ lime if needed, RR soybeans spring/summer (or BW preceeded and followed by roundup)...

I've been using the cargo net trick for several years now, and it works great. Instead of attaching the pack to the stand you can also buy a set of molle shoulder straps and waistbelt off ebay and use that. It works great.

Love the fawn pics. I plan to plant some of the chestnut hybrids this year...any idea how those transplants will do coming from up north to TN?

dbltree, I just started habitat management this year. I hinge cut a ton of trees during the winter, girdled a lot more in the beginning stages of a TSI project, and planted 3.5 acres of buckwheat this spring. The buckwheat is amazing stuff. It's doing VERY well. I plan on coming back with...

Soils are silty loam, and well drained. I pulled two soil samples this year, one 5.5pH the other 6.0. In the early part of last century there were phosphate mines all over that area, so phosphorus never has to be added, and potassium rarely. I had one soil sample with 109 lbs/acre phosphorus...

dbltree, I'm still mulling over an alfalfa plot, and have done a little digging. I asked a local farmer about alfalfa, and he said every field planted in that area had been wiped out by deer. One guy put a web wire fence on top of a web wire fence to keep them out, and they still got it. Do...

dbltree, I'm thinking of putting around 1.5 acres of alfalfa, and like others, have no way to hay it. It is on my Dad's farm, and my Dad raises meat goats. How would the alfalfa do if instead of haying we turned 20 goats on it for a few days...no need to mow, no worry about smothering. Thanks
