  1. The worst is over hopefully and the seeds are germinating beautifully..
  2. Oh and now that you have built one, the addiction will kick in and you will soon be growing the herd.
  3. If you ever find it, please make sure the head space is correct using the right gauge before you shoot it. Know what I mean
  4. So i did the clover and beans mix only and after rain today the temps are going to be in 40s Hopefully the bean seed is not ruined. I know clover will be fine.
  5. I have been planting them in august, so some of the turnips were basketball sized.
  6. Its supposed to be RR and bought a bag from a local farmer
  7. I tend to enjoy gardening so this part of fun for me at a much larger scale. Its a journey for hunting and conservation. Building it for my 13 yrd old. I wont shoot anything in this plot. maybe
  8. I totally agree, this a lot more fun than sitting behind a computer screen for 8-10hrs The soil ph test came back at a crazy 7.8 I plan to plant it today as rain is expected tomorrow. Have all the seeds on hand. Just have to figure out the blend Tons of beans, winter peas, white Clover and enough corn. Unlimited supply of oats ..lol
  9. Good tip on the corn stalks blocking shots, i may plant them on the north end and leave them as a late season food source if they make it. The blind is on the south end, dead center of the east west. This is an almost perfectly rectangular plot.
  10. No not much ag in the immediate area, maybe 2-3 miles away I guess there are plenty of corn and bean farms. Only thing closest is a hay farm.
  11. I have had the whole plot in clover, brassica and radish for the last 2 yr and it was 80% left when I plowed it in this week. The deer didnt even touch the brassica or turnips. Maybe a bite at most here and there. I am not set to do corn but want to plant something different now. Maybe try BigNBeasty mix. Always read good things about it.
  12. The plan is to pull in deer, I really wish I had more. I may split the plot and do half with corn and beans on the other. Even if its wiped out by late summer, I will do another planting in fall for the season.
  13. Did some grading and cut a swale to let water into a nearby drainage ditch.. Took 3 hrs for such a small section. Sure wish i had a dozer..lol
  14. Sounds like loads of fun but with the cost of ammo, I can only dream about it.
  15. Appreciate the tips guys. @stubborn1VT Any chance you can post a pic of your step seeder?
  16. I was wondering if one doesnt have a drill, has any one experimented with broadcasting corn and beans over a 1.5 acre plot & then dragging a log over the seeds. I have plowed and then levelled everything back up to create a smooth seed bed. Thinking will mix in some oats in there along with radish.. Deer population is very low at most have 2 doe and 1 buck in the area. Thoughts?
  17. Except for a few most of mines came up fine. Mulched all around and havent had the need to water them yet. Thanks @farmer 52
  18. Running shots are still the way to hunt in Europe when they do the drives be it for hog or stag.
  19. Hunting is a privilege just like driving. Owning any firearm of my choice is the right for now..although in NY that has eroded.
  20. Amish mills are great and make dimensional lumber at the same old prices
  21. You pay tax on the new difference, which I believe will be 34k...the only time the state doesnt get to dbl dip.
  22. That is too many yotes for my liking. Great pics as always. Here is one on my camera
