  1. I made a homemade roller to pull behind my ATV. I used a heavy duty plastic 55 gallon drum. I cut a hole in each end in the center of the drum. I then pushed a metal pipe slightly smaller than the hole I drilled. Then I made a frame out of leftover hardwood floor planks to connect to the metal pipe on each end and around the drum. Then I made a drop pin connection point to hook onto the ATV draw bar. I fill the drum half full of water through one of the screw caps on the top of the drum then replace the cap to hold the water in. Water will leak out where the metal pipe goes through the drum until it brings the level down when it will stop leaking for the most part. The drum half full (or so) with water and the hardwood frame weighs about 200 lbs. It works well to pull over a well prepared food plot bed to push the seed down for good germination contact.
  2. Have a hunting property in Gilboa area. Deer hunting is really on the decline in the region. Ive been trying to do my best to increase the deer movement in my area. To help you get a better understanding my property is a 30 acre lot. the property goes as follows : 5 acre plot of open field (nothing planted, cabin is located in this field), a thin tree line, followed by another back field. After the backfield is 20 acres of downhill woods. Mixture of oak and cedars. Every so often we get acorns, but not always. I planted 4 crab apple trees in the back field. I am also in the process of planting a 1.5 acre clover field. I have a corn feeder set up in the woods and two mineral licks along the runs within the woods. I also have a camera set up along the thin tree line inbetween the front and back field and a feeder near the corn feeder. Any ideas on my set up? Suggestions?
  3. I have been successfully food plotting my plots for 5 years now and have purchased about $25,000 worth of equipment in the process. I was considering utilizing my equipment and skills by offering to plot other hunters’ property (assuming that it’s accessible). It would obviously just be as a side job during the spring and late summer. About 2 months of work a year. By doing this, i could make a little extra cash on the side to make me feel better about purchasing so much equipment! HAHA So I’m hoping that you can all help me out to make a decision on whether or not this would be worth my while. So here is the big question; Assuming that I can get to the land and it’s tillable, and that you do not have the time or resources to do this yourself, how much money PER ACRE would you be willing to pay someone like me to prep and plant a plot for you on your own land. - For simple math, let’s also assume that you, the customer, would provide all the seed, lime, fertilizer, and herbicide. That leaves gas, diesel as my expenses. Plus time and ware and tare on my equipment. - Also, there would have to be a Claus that productivity is not guaranteed. Mother Nature is and will always be more powerful then my ability to grow plots. Thanks for your time and help with this matter. Hopefully you fellow hunter can help me make a decision.
  4. Some food plot pics.... One is the corn plot, the one with the deer is the mixed plot. Apparently the deer are getting more comfortable with the plots
  5. I have property in Sidney center ny and have planted three food plots. Had soil tested and the clover started to come up by the end of may. I had herd that clover should not exceed about 9" and when it does you should cut it, but you should bag all the clippings. I also herd that you should cut it when you see the seed heads, but not to cut it when the temp. Exceeds 85 degrees. I live on long island and don't know exactly how it's growing but herd we are in a dry spell, I think the fields should be cut once at the end of July and again in September some time, what do you think? Thank you Carl B. from long island and Sidney center
  6. Anyone have success with food plots that are designed to attract turkey?
  7. The food plot was hammered the last three weeks or so. They must have went nuts on it, my trail camera died after 1 night, but that one night there were a lot of deer in there. Anyways, the little cold snap must have made those brassicas and chicory tasty. Attached the pic I took of the plot and the one of 10 pics the trail camera took before it died.
  8. The last two are of the corn that got way to late of a start, but some other stuff growing in there. The first one filled in amazing.
