Around sixty pounds of lean meat in the freezer if you shoot, zero if you don't.

Nice inch of welcome rainfall this morning. The timing can't be any better. You can almost see everything growing. A salad smorgasbord Shot more pics while the thunder rumbled in the distance. Hope everyone having success in growing! One interesting note, I parked a transport disc at one end of the field. An experiment. See how it affects wildlife. Deer have not visited that area, as of yet. Radish and oats are reaching knee high with blossoms showing on the radish. Deer are visiting every other area regularly. Turkey, woodchucks, skunk, weasel, raccoon, and crows are not affected. I'll move the disc, in the next week to see what happens.

We got little over an inch since 9:30 this morning. Dropped the temps. and the humidity. Can't ask for any better growing conditions here. Cold fronts moving through rather quickly. Winds already starting shifting to the NW.. Hope you all get soaked, LOL.

I make a lot of notes. Problem is, I forget where I put the paper, LOL.

Nice daytime shot. That Stealth cam takes some decent pics. What model?

Had a nice sit, last evening. Couple singles crossed with their mothers at 25 yards, one still sporting spots. A late hatch. Quite sure that one will sport spots during bow.

My trusty 870 in 12. It's taken many a deer. The only gun I trust. Is there any other gun out there, LOL.

All good things must come to an end. Deer came out last evening to say hello. A couple doe with single fawns, a few yearlings, and a handful of nice bucks. All while the tractors mowing the ditch.

It's not uncommon to see spotted fawns right into firearms here, past years. I have a lot to add to this thread for this year, but not until I get a good accurate assessment. I know this year fawn numbers are way down. That a fact, and it worries me. Looked like good breeding numbers, last fall too.

Have you looked into Bad Boys? The only thing the deer hear are the electric motor and tire noise.

You have a larger problem here. Under NYS. law, you can be ticketed for baiting and or feeding deer, even though you didn't place the salt lick there. It applies even if you didn't know it was there during season. As long as your hunting within a certain distance of it, ECO's can nail ya. I would dam well inform my neighbor of it.

Edible beans grow lower plants. Quite a few have planted around us, this year. Kidney and pinto are two types commonly grown locally.

Little scary. I hope those using riffle use extreme care. Hard to judge, back in on the Iroquois where the county line falls. Those using rifle, be careful as, I'm sure the ECO's won't think twice about handing out tickets.

I'd hunt it, no problem. The only worry I'd have was retrieving. Plant a crop not common to the area. Maybe radish oat mixture. Pull those doe in, and you will see bucks. Works for me, every season. Good luck!

Happy Birthday Eddie. I, for one like your style. Your buck pictures too! LOL. Hope you have an enjoyable day.

My future investment. Worked with teams when much younger. Do my part to preserve fossil fuels. Think it would be cooler, (Get it?)

Four years ago really sold me on those Daikons. I just can't say enough good about them. The last couple late summers , was just to dry here. They came up spotty and didn.t have enough moisture to let the chemical fertilizer do it's job. This season has been nearly as perfect and it can get. A nice dark rich nearly blue color shows in all late summer plantings. What I'm looking for now The DEC has changed my motives for deer drawing. , Now I still want to feed, but also to draw doe in for picture buck breeding purposes. We always get early breeds coming in, and I hope to recover some nice pics of the action. Since we can't shoot deer here till after mid October, Might as well shoot'em other ways.

That's one of those 300 sq. ft. or smaller houses, seen on them home improvement shows, airs on the tv..

He needs a few more years of growth for me to aim on him. 140 or larger now.

Good luck on your last plantings. Hope you get a nice, shot in the arm soaker to germinate. We got a "wet my hay stopper" yesterday afternoon and a gully washer, just before midnight. Bad for haymaking but, great for the growing. My first radish, oats, vetch mixture nearly a foot tall now.

A lot of typicals there. We have deer of some of the age groups you post, but they always have kickers.

Congrats! I know she had a good teacher, you. Good luck with the father daughter hunts this season.

You have enough for youker.

it sad'ens me to see such a waste of meat. They all taste the same, no matter what time of the year. I hit it, it's tagged by law enforcement and in my freezer.

Late summer growing conditions are about the best, I remember in years here. Planted ground has enough moisture to maintain good plant growth. Nice sunny to partly cloudy days and warm nights. Radish, oats, and vetch mixtures are doing great. Radish and oats combos are well on there way, 10" of growth with deep rich nitrogen filled leaves. Quite excited about the turnout. Deer have been visiting all areas. Oats are being thinned in some areas, with an occasional radish left over, lie on top. An abundance of early apples, wildlife unable to keep ahead. Deer pick and chose their favorites. Oak tree are now being visited on a nightly basis. Shaping up to be a really nice looking fall. Hope you all, having the same success.
