I thought I wanted one before too. I am now using a different approach after reading countless threads on here. I am using the advice of the guys that said only plant as many trees as you can protect. Hoping it pays off in the end because it feels like it is taking forever. It seems planting...
There used to be a farmer here that used to alternate passes corn and beans. Did it quite a few years. He claimed the beans provided nitrogen to the corn to make it better. He doesn't do it anymore so it must not have been great but it is possible. The guy was super smart. Worked with John deere...
I think I'm going to get a feeder and put it out after late muzzy. Plan on mixing corn out of the bin with protein pellets. I'll see how it goes. Not sure if it's needed with all of the grain left in our food plots and low deer numbers, but I'll see how it goes.
Not sure if that would be the same as spray grade ams, but I know they would have that. They even carry spray grade ams at theisens, but I suspect it might be finer particles so it dilutes easily in water.
Between ehd and the lack of big blocks of cover where I am, most bucks don't make 5 years old. If I only pursued bucks 5 and older. I might only have a buck to hunt once every 3 or 4 years. For me personally at 4 years old it is game on for me.
I would suggest the heated socks also. Otherwise maybe those arctic shield booties that go on over your boots when you get to the blind would help as well
Dad and I sat Saturday and Sunday. Saw does and a couple little guys, but numbers were way down here. I know there are at least a couple good ones that ehd didn't get. Going to need colder weather to bring them in to our food plots. Hopefully catch up with them late muzzleloader.
It seems guys that go corn first year after crp have to use a mold board plow and I hate having to use one. Makes everything so soft and prone to erosion. Much easier to do beans year one
I was after the coons pretty good this summer. Declared war when we saw a few very large patches of corn destroyed. Think the count was around 150 when we quit right before harvest.
Found 2 dead bucks doing fieldwork today. Never had anything this bad before. Just when we were getting the local population built up some. Really sucks.
Just watched a buck run a doe up and down a fence line for 10 minutes before she jumped the fence and they both disappeared. Too far away to tell if it was a young or mature buck. Didnt remember to put binos in the tractor this morning.
I hadn't seen a mature buck all fall while farming. Saw one yesterday afternoon and another one this morning. Also pulled a dead doe out of our pond this morning. Been dead a while.
