Guy called this afternoon said my gun buck was done .

I'm looking to work up about 1 acre of food plots . I have access to brush hog disks and a middle buster. One food plot is half an acre. Is basically a hillside clearing where loggers used as a landing. Area is a west facing slope gets good sun 8 or so hours of the day. Rocky poor soil. One end has standing water until late July. Not sure what to do with that . Have a small area I have planted in years past that's a kill plot. It gets 5 hours of sun very rocky and acidic. Critters devour it as fast as it comes up . That's probably 50 foot by 200 foot area. Have 2 more small ones I have been working on clearing for a couple years . I have left that to natural grass brush hogging 2 times a year. They get 4 or 5 hrs of sun a day . I just dont know what to plant or how to plant these areas. I now have a small tractor a 26 hp kubota bx to work with. I have been thinking radishes and clover. In years passed I have hand rototilled one patch but it is killer on me and machine. My brother in law wont even lend me the 3 pt tiller for up there after he tried it one time. What's your opinions . I know I will never plant corn on this land but something has to work. Area is brushy and is a bedding area. Not a lot of crops in the area. A few hay fields.. I know the neighbors are baiting with corn . Most of my deer sightings are coming in the morning and leaving in the evening. First pic is one of my small plots I have cut out with chainsaw and pushing streets over with tractor. Second pic is what it looks like after first year. 3rd pic is the plot I planted for a few years as a throw and grow kind of thing. Dont have a pic of bigger clearing . Thanks for any help and advice.

Wife has the same problem with her rack

Hmmm taxi messed up ... horns are shorter on one side ...nice mount... nice buck.

Smacked him in the back of the head while he was running down a log . Notice he still has the acorn he was carrying in his mouth. That was not staged.

My favorite squirrel getter. Ruger 22/45 hunter addition.

this is my single six liberty.

Waiting sucks . I'm still waiting on my European mount from my gun buck . Was suppose to be done end of December. Still no call. I would just call and check in . I'm giving my guy until March 1.

Glad to see they are doing something officially. In the beginning I think the service manager thought I was making it up. I can see how a person could get whiplash from it happening at highway speeds . It was pretty violent.

Lmao I like it.... and I'm a dog owner

Single six for me . I picked up a liberty model a few years back it's a shooter. Came with original box paper work and original bill of sale . Was sold from Ray Hotchkiss gun shop . I played more than double what it cost originally.

Was at the bench myself tying some steelehead flies .. need to work on some dries. Short on sulphurs,olives, and caddis.

Worst one I did was a tractor tire in a field of fresh spread manure. Farmer tried to drive off a field and got stuck in a low wet spot. Blocking a tractor up in the mud took longer than tube and calcium chloride combined. Culprit for that tire was a deer shed . Took 4 of us 6 hrs to change.a tire on a scraper. That was just solid bull work .

Did commercial truck and farm tires for a couple years back in my late teens . It's a young man's job for sure . Guy I worked for was in his 50s . He was all beaten and broken from years of abuse. It's a no brainer to hire it done.

I use to hang all the spent shotgun shells on the branches . There was quite a few until the neighbors grandkids collected them all up. I dont leave the brass as I reload .

When we got our property it was clear cut. Very few trees left standing. The stands that were left behind made the trees not desirable. After 26 years of hunting the poplar trees have grown up thick and have started to choke each other out . The old logging roads I have done my best to keep open . It is so thick the deer travel the logging roads . I have no stands near the old ones . I have 6 ladder stands and they are all on logging roads . I have cleared small spots around trees that were big enough to support stands. My favorite stand I have killed over 50 deer from it . It's on its 2nd ladder stand in this time. I accidentally let the first one grow into the tree. Can't get it out . I use the seat part that's left to hang my day pack. Funny thing I have let multiple people take my spot and i can't recall a single person killing a deer from it other than me . Guess if my old stand could talk ....

I think they are protected song bird in ny.

60 in the southern tier

Wont be long it will be flag football.

Yea I was confused about that my self.

Worst super bowl ever.

That was funny.

Yup halftime worst I have ever seen.

At least they didn't butcher the national anthem.
