The final walk through....

[growalot]

The deer were out feeding heavy last night and today it is WINDY!!...so took the opportunity to do a walk through on the plots....

the first set is in same general area and they connect weaving through woods...

[growalot]

This next set is in a different area and they all connect wondering through the Oak flats....

[growalot]

This is the only open area I have...A combo of sorghum...grains and clovers/chichory..... clovers and alfalfa and HSG...Oh the QH beans in the very weedy ground under sorghum.....

[growalot]

Finally the plot trail that I made to connect the corn field to our woods...pics from the stand I built years ago when I had permission to hunt that field...now I wait for them to cross over ofr come up out of our woods....

Thanks guys...Most of these are the fall plantings I did with rye grain mixed with brassica and some clover I had left over...the bigger open area is the WTI forage oats I diced into the Evolved Habitat clover /chicory from last fall...not too impressed with the WTI stuff, but the WW and Trictical in their mix came up well and I over seeded with turnips...which are still pretty small....after the rains it thickened up..... then I realized the clover /alfalfa plot was looking really short.......The deer have been just hammering the area...Turkey have been in it a lot as well...most every thing is in annuals except 2 areas... Having some real weed issues in one area and looking at what timber prices will be next year....usually after a flush of logging activity here...we find timber prices go up the following year...think the election will tell the tale on that one...but we had a couple of guys tell us they think prices will be up ..we'll see...then those trails will all be in a clover mix

I really like the GH radish it has good sized roots that now stick out of the ground 2-4 inches....The leafs have a much milder flavor than the turnips and rape seed...deer like it...and the rye grain is growing well in it

I guess you do growalot!

It's a hobby of sorts...

Excellent examples showing plots don't need to be large open feilds.

Ever loose track of where they all are?
