My best set up is with an oak branch cut while the leaves are still green. When they dry out, they stay attached for a long time. Once bucks start ramping up, they seem to enjoy the noise those dried up leaves produce . Seems to get them " fevered up". Also, slightly damp soil Trump's dry soil...

As usual, even pumpkins that seem to struggle early on can grow incredibly fast give good moisture. I've got 3 plots planted and they have Exploded! Got some pumpkins size of volleyballs. Here is one plant right in my back yard. From root base to end of main vine, I'm guessing it's about 19/20 '.

When young and ambitious, I'd collect Xmas trees and drag them out into crp/ cattail marshes. Deer/ fox/ coyotes lov3d bedding next to them. One small 5' tree in a monoculture of crp was a magnet. Looking back 30+ years, I can't believe I did that. I'd have a heart attack nowdays.

Lol. I build decks and have for 35 years. I freaking HATE composite decking!!! And I've built lots of them. Bout 10 years ago, my mother wanted here deck replaced. It was about 30 years old. She wanted composite. I begged n pleated with her to go with cedar but she insisted on composite. I...

I've never been in a Switchgrass field I did however used to hunt crp back 30 years ago when northwest mn had millions of acres. Was common for my group of guys to jump 100+ deer out of a big field. ( we had WAY TO MANY) deer back then. As a side note for you fellas that know this Jack , it...

I fear you're right 83.

Well crap... After future review, I feel totally dejected. Got new weeds coming in hard and strong in every plot I put in brassicas a week ago. Mainly Perslain,lambsquarter and waterhemp. Brassicas are popping also but no way am I gonna let weeds take over! Gonna re spray everything and reseed...

Bummer.

Screw the Brassicas...., get after that coyote. Lol. Got an adult female yesterday. Her pups got away. Maybe later today?

Good luck fellas.

Do you " need" the income$? If that's not a big priority, keep any " programs out of the program". Nice looking piece you have.

Thanks deerdown. Hoping it works. If it does, (as planned), I think it could be an awesome all season draw. Timely rains of course will sure help. Hot n humid here now. With the rains we've had, I can HEAR stuff growing. Lol. Corn/ beans/wheat/ sugarbeets are looking FANTASTIC!. My...

Just checked. They are already popping.:oops: Forgot to mention earlier. Never done this before but hope it works. I spread them about 1/2 rate with goals to spread some more into them in 2 weeks or so. Anyone else tried that? First go found for late season bulb production, 2nd for more...

Annually, my planting dates are July 25. We got a 3" rain on the 21st. All spots were sprayed/ fertilized before hand. Black soil and weed free. I got them all seeded (broadcasted) on the 23rd as I wanted to take advantage of the wet soil. Got a 1/10" that evening and another 1/4" an hour ago...

:( Unfortunately, these kind of things seem to be fading away. Thanks for trying Curtis.

4th deer by me that's been whacked on the road near me in the past 2 weeks.

never heard of that place?. Born n raised in Moorhead but now I avoid the Fargomalia/ Moorheadgeria metro like the plague. :oops: We could have met at my cabin 35 miles N.E of fargo though. Next time.... Hope you fellas have a good time.

I've had great success just broadcasting brassicas on clean black soil.

Ib83, thanks, I stumbled onto doing this about 15 years ago. Did it just for ornamental reasons but the first year, ( after velvet shed), the bucks DESTROYED them. Now it's an annual fun project. It's not normal to have mature bucks come through my front yard but when they do, they beeline to...

What's your guess Skip? DeerDown, yes, I keep the lower leaves clipped. . Jkratz5, that will put you out of the running as I won't take the cages down till Sept 15th. Lol. Come on guys..., let's hear some dates.
