I like Daikon field radishes mixed with common oats for an all season's draw. I have several acres of legumes, grass mixture, and corn though. What ever you decide, good luck with the plot.

The Johnny King buck took that tile away from Hanson back in 2013 at 221 6/8" . Hanson's scored 220 and 5/8". Still a beautiful buck in any ones eyes for typical.

We use to raise raspberries and blackberries size of a thimble. Lost the raspberry stock to winter kill and could never find anything close. Can't kill the blackberries. Thorns galore. Use to raise pheasants in them..

That deer is suffering. Let it gain some weight back, then into the freezer come October 1st.

A few pics from my morning bee trap inspection. Soils are getting dry here. I ran into a skunk while snapping the bee picture. Missed most of me.

Hardly wet the ground here. I remember buckwheat seed at $6 a bushel last time we planted for pancake flour.

Nice clover plot. Deer love red clover. I seed acreage of red clover every other year for a fresh renewal. Make the first hay, then leave the second for deer. Not a stitch is left by Halloween. They eat the blossoms off at just a certain time.

Do you spread it on top of the ground or incorporate it into a seed bed?

Closest turkey with poults for me was like 5 yards. It was raining out and she was brooding three under her when they all sprung up into a tree. Straight up. Looked like a small pile of wood on the ground. All the birds joined together for a total 19 birds with one bearded hen that year. They use to walk by me, up in the deer stand on a grasshopper run, winking as they walked by.]

Cool Bill, being that close to the chicks.

They knock you out for these test these days. Back in the 70's when I had it done, they didn't. The only thing cool about it was seeing the light though my flesh. Oh the pain of it all.

Anyone have any turkey poults pics yet?

Anyone have any turkey poults pics yet?

I don't blame you, LOL. Big rack deer always get people excited.

The law of supply and demand. Those disc were going for scrap price on auctions not to many years ago. I had a chance to buy several for 50-60 bucks and passed. Now I want a yard full, LOL. It sound like you have a good plan in place, and the looks of past year pics, your be greening the wildlife in no time. I was in Avon yesterday; that well just may come in handy for ya this season. Good luck and enjoy your new place. Oh, I haven't forgot the maple.

LOOK PEOPLE; your destroying a perfectly good thread over highly debated topics. Move it to your own thread and stop crapping on this one.

My wheat acreage is fully headed out and setting seed quickly. Have a nice catch of legumes in the bottom. Deer have already taken several heads off the safe end of the field. Elected not to plant corn as a high acreage has been planted by area farmers. ( farmers are stuck on corn and refuse to plant specialty crops for the areas canning factory.) Anyways, going to concentrate on June planting of pumpkins, and end July radish, oats and late August wheat. I watched fawns with their mothers going through the standing hay. Good size to some of them already. I would guess counting back 200 days, October bred. ( as usual) Pics forth coming as I lost my transfer cable.

I got the Cologuard test kit on the advise of a doctor. Saved a whloeeeeeeeeeeeee lot of agony. Make sure your insurance will pay for it though.

Nice Kuhn GF7802? Like 27'. Does it have the ability to rake and ted? How reliable? i'm running an older Kuhn that's getting used up.

No different then any other Agricultural business. Steer, Ram, Billy, Stallion, and so on. Certain blood lines bring big money. I have great respect for anyone that has the ability to operate any Agriculture Enterprise. I don't care if it's deer, elk, dairy, hogs or what have you. You try running a business in New York and see what it takes. Jealously is far far from owner- operators minds, LOL.

I believe these programs are related to the New York State Conservation Partnership Program. It's on the DEC website. Grant money is available if one meets the guide lines.

Potatoes planting today. The pumpkins and squash will be planted in humus holes next week. Looking like a great year for gardening. Hope your gardens do well this season.

Locally here, farmers would work the field, plant the crop, then harvest two thirds of it, leaving a third for the wildlife. Don't see it much around these parts anymore though. It was more popular when the smaller farms were in business. Bigger operations don't want to mess around with it today. I believe both state and federal lands did it.

The set by those cow carcasses says one animal to me, coyote. Old trapper taught me to " set for the best, then take the rest."

The stakes are going to be criss crossed if it was any kind of a trapper.
