A nice bull elk is out in PA.

On the Crush cam now.

A group of 5 just came calling.

Sound like the spray you used to kill the vegetation reacted on the brassicas.

As soon as your feet leave the ground, their's always a risk.

They eat most of it.. Very little if any straw left. One has to wonder if I fill a void in the nutrition slot at this time of year, or I'm just lucky. I will be out snapping some pics shortly in these areas. Here's a pic from September 15. I tried strip planting back then. Oats and radish were planted just as heavy in this area. Deer were wiping them out by bow. I planted over 4 acres of radish in 13 on this property. Deer browsed the radish, but really became interested when the oat mixture was introduced.

I planted later forage oats years ago. Deer didn't pay attention to them. Now I plant earlier. Deer usually start hitting the oats hard when they start heading out. They really like the green grain. I found a method that works better here and stay with it. My intent is more for a food source. Not a hunting plot. Kind of a give back to wildlife. We had about an inch and a half of rain over night. It will help the oats in the second area, but I'm afraid the radish are to stunted, to help. I shot on #50 of urea that I had. We'll see what they do.

Good luck on your bow hunting adventures. See things you've never seen before.

You won't need a cam when they start hitting it, LOL.

Mine said 49F. Put a light jacket on. It was 90 and humid here three days ago, LOL.

I like the idea of forage soybeans for a draw, as the protein levels are on a decline this time of year. The only thing that would throw a wrench in the ointment would be a frost. I suppose with the mid to late October frost we seem to be having now, it would be worth the gamble.

I bet that is a scenic place to hunt with a little snow on the trees. Good luck.

About 39 days of growing on this first area. Doesn't look quite as good as I had hoped. Last two pics are the second area. Extremely dry again. This area wasn't summer fallowed and it shows.

I'll agree with that. We're the reverse. Going right back to dry conditions. My second plot is dry as a bone and cracking open. Oats are ok, but the radish is poor.

Corn looks really good. I would still plant 80 day corn here, the third week of June , as the frost have been holding out till middle of October . You don't get the growing degree days this late, but the corn still manages to mature. Growalot broadcast corn, had get success with it every year. I believe she used TS common corn. They buy from the mid western states where they don't dry and kill the germ. I use to plant oh, an acre or so of forage corn for the deer in August. Maybe reach knee high. It would look pretty torn up by this time of year.

Soybeans look really good. If a plant soybeans, it has to be larger acreage. Deer gang up on my fields as it is.

Here's my Della 5000 series. 8 x 10 rooms done in 10 minutes run time. Cost $100 FS and completely removes all odor including cigarette smell. Had it for four years now.

Not a fresh skinned one I hope, LOL.

It all depends on which one I get finished first.

I can't wait till it warms up.

Glad I bought a bunch of Steel Force broadheads years ago for something like $14 a three pack. They had lifetime sharping if they were sent back to the company. Don't even know if their around any more.

Looking for a good water bottle now, so I can make a final decision come late next spring. They sound like a worthy investment. How do the outside clean up? Looks like they sell extra tops along with the bottle, for some reason, maybe for those that loose items, LOL. . The 64 oz size is the largest I can find. Was hoping they make one in 3 quart size.

Bad for the repository system of humans and animals. O3 (ozone) converts back to O2 (oxygen) rather quickly if allowed to air out good. Ever have the interior of your vehicle cleaned? Ever stay in a motel or hotel? They all use ozone to sanitize. Your alternator and starter of your vehicle generate ozone when used. Lightning generates ozone. That's why the air smells so fresh after a thunderstorm. I wouldn't say don't use it, educate yourself on how to use it safely.

Good use for a discarded plastic toy. I was thinking of using a good plastic slide for a safer way to come out of my tree stand.

Baling hay in the hot sun, weather permitting.
