Labor Day planting I was way too busy this year too. I spent the entire Labor Day weekend playing catch up on food plots at the farm. I got 1/2 acre of Paul's rye mix in and about 1/3 acre of turnips in. I went with a bag of IW Tall Tine Tubers because it was quick. My wife and I finished...

Kubota B3030 I have a Kubota B3030 that I use for food plotting, as well as mowing the yard, pushing snow, etc. I think that I bought it 8 years ago or so. Kubota has newer B3xxx models that would be similar. I have a mid-mount mower (60" deck) for mowing the lawn, as well as the front end...

How about a sand point / pump/ small generator that you haul in when you want to water them? Or get one of those food grade IBC 275 gallon plastic cubes and haul it in with a skid loader if you have one or have access to get in with one. Just a couple ideas to ponder...

Hunted public ground today (first time for that). Saw a decent buck cruising about 100-150yds away at 9am. Grunt - no response. Doe bleat - no response. Hit the horns together and he came to me on a string. He circled around me and ended up 30 yds out. Nice looking 8pt buck but too young for...

I sat on Sunday from just before sun up to noon. Then again from 3:00 to dusk. (Ok - not an all day sit) I saw 15 deer from 8:00am to 11:00am. All were does, fawns and young bucks except at 10am the big boy almost made a mistake. He was following 2 does that came right in front of my stand but...

Missed again! T&H - I'm in the same boat (on dry dusty ground) that you are. Property is in northern Lee County on the Skunk. I waited to plant the rye mix until last Saturday because I finally saw a good chance for rain Sunday and throughout this week. It seems like the big green blobs on...

Thanks! Thanks for the reply! I'll start playing in the dust this weekend.

Did I miss the window / need options So I've been a little busy this year, and did not get the brassicas planted at the property in July as I should have. I have only recently (3 weeks ago) went and mowed last year's winter rye and clover. A washout kept me from even getting to a brassica...

I'm thinking the same thing. That's why I bought a set of fixed broadheads last night and am thinking of putting the Rage's away. It seems like the odds of getting a pass through with a 2.25" blade is not that great.

Mainly just a thump. It was hard to hear over my heart pounding!

View from my stand looking over the turnip plot in the powerline right of way.

Here's a pic of my arrow from the lost buck....

I sat in my stand over my turnip plot on Saturday because the wind was right. I saw nothing until 4PM and heard what I knew was a buck walking in the creek bottom. I hit the bleat can 2x and grunted. I kept looking into the bottom for movement, but saw none - it's thick and brushy down there...

In the timber off my turnip /sugar beet plot. Been here since 6am. Have seen nothing. Heard stuff moving, but no visual. Might have something to do with ITC changing poles out on the transmission line on the south side of the property. I'm waiting for the big 8 pt. that has been on my...

If Top Dog at the DNR is up for election next week, I'm writing 'Yote's name in. He makes the hunting rules so simple that everyone can understand them. :way:
