Faintail..  I can appreciate how much work went into clearing the woods and making those plots..  Very Nice!!

 

The last picture is the best..  Almost looks like that steak is so heavy it is bending the grate..  Well deserved!!

[growalot]

No other hunting related projects to be seen out there?...ground blinds made and set....custom built guns or bows....ponds...cabins...more plots?

[WNYBuckHunter]

Ill get some pics from the farm while Im there tomorrow. We put a new stand in last night, will be putting 1 or 2 brand new ones up tomorrow, then moving another 1 or 2. I also have a giant brush pile that Im going to build a blind into.

[landtracdeerhunter]

I got a few on completion. So busy!

[growalot]

I still have a new stand to put together....so hot today I'll be washing windows... dogs and putting the stand together....Think I'll get our son to help put it up...knee has decided I'm about done doing much of anything...either that or my mind finally got beat fighting the pain....lol

[WNYBuckHunter]

I never had a chance to snap pics yesterday except 1 when I was waiting on the guys to get there. Heres how one plot looks after 2 weeks.

 

 

We put up 2 new stands last night, cleared some shooting lanes and did some trail maintenance. Ill get pics one of these days lol.

Looks great...and do I see larch in the back ground....that tells me it's in a great spot too...

Thanks! 6yrs ago this was a 7acre  corn field, We planted  5,000 larch on it for deer cover and left a 2 acre strip down the center for the food plot.Seems to be working.

[NYSuperSportsman]

This is my new FP. the whole field is about 3.5 acres but I did about 1.75 of clover, chicory and winter rye mix. 

 

and another 1/2 acre in purple top turnips and shot plot mix..

 

 

Soybeans didn't get a ton of height but, they do have tons of pods and should be a great food source. About 3 acres..

 

Chicory clover and some weeds..... but ill take care of them next year! 

 

Lots of apples this year also! 

 

QDM has really become a way of life for me!

Here are some pics I took this weekend

 

Heres my big double stand that I moved from a property I lost to the farm. Its right in a transition zone of thick, young brush and trees that sits between more open, mature hardwoods and a huge Ag field. I had a few encounters with a couple of very nice bucks in this area last year, but needed the set to be closer to the cover. Once bow is done, there is a full blind that will go up there, which makes it a perfect stand for taking others in.

 

 

 

Here are a couple of shots of trails we have been cleaning up. Trying to get them as twig and debris free as possible. We will be running leaf blowers down them this week to clean them up the last little bit.

 

 

 

Plots/cages that went in recently...

 

 

[Grizz1219]

I might fence a small section of my plots just to see if they are being eaten...

[WNYBuckHunter]

Grizz, the cages I made are only @ 3 feet in diameter. No need to fence off a large section.
