Deer pictures

[NYBowhunter]

Hello All,

Attached are some pictures that I retrieved from last weekend, one camera was setup on one of my clover plots and the other was setup on a ridge top of a traveling/bedding coridor. Some pics are of up and coming bucks and of a pregnant doe that looks like shes ready to explode. Enjoy.

I need to see how to fix the attachments to show the whole image, I noticed it was doing that on mine too.

[burmjohn]

And WOW nice pics! Looks like you got a lot of deer around there!

[NYBowhunter]

Thanks, the food plots definately make a difference in that they attract deer.

[TheHunter]

How big is that plot you have there? Looks nice.

[NYBowhunter]

The plot in the picture is a 1/2 acre of clover and there is piece of that plot I use to plant turnips for the fall. I also have another plot adjescent to the plot in the picture which is much smaller that has clover and chikory.

[burmjohn]

Wow, real nice setup.  I might have to pick your brain down the road once we have the plot cleared if you don't mind.

[NYBowhunter]

I dont mind a bit, you can pick my brain anytime as I can talk deer and food plots all day long. I have no problem passing on the knowledge I have learned through the years. Its a whole lot of work to put in a plot correctly, but the payoff are well worth it. Nothing like sitting back and looking at a bright green field of clover, chikory and turnips knowing you did that. And the deer in your area will be healthier.

[burmjohn]

That field looks so much bigger the 1/2 an acre.  I cant wait till we can get one going.

[NYBowhunter]

yeah it does look much bigger then 1/2 acre, but we measured it and its app. 1/2 acre.  dont think  i would want anything larger, would be way to much work.

[Fantail]

Nice pics! Clicking on them brings up the full size n/p.

Might pic your brain a bit on plot advice later on.

[NYBowhunter]

Not a problem, what I have learned I'm more then happy to pass along besides gives me a reason to talk about something I truely enjoy doing.

[burmjohn]

NYBow - Did you use a specific brand / mix?

[JCTheGC]

Wow NYBowhunter, great pictures.  Keep them coming!

[NYBowhunter]

Burmjohn: I like many got caught up in the hype of comercial made blends, however my first ever food plots I did a test where I used 2.5 lbs of a comercial blend of clover/chikory mix that cost me $40 and my other plot I used a mix of ladino clover, birdsfoot treefoil, rape, red clover and yellow clover that cost me half that of the commercial blend and If I remember correctly I got 5 lbs of the agway mix . Both plots have and continue to work equally well, but there is absolutely no need for commercial blends. Just go to your local agway and if they dont have they can get any seed for you. If you dont have an agway near you, let me know and I can get any seed for you and then you can pick up in brooklyn. The plot in my pictures is the agway seed mix. The turnips (Pasja Turnips) I put in last year came from agway as well and my turnips (Purple Tops) this year will come from Agwayl, we will also be planting broccoli rabe from seeds that my father made.

JC the GC: Thanks, I love posting pictures of plots and deer on my property makes me proud.Its amazing the gradification I get from seeing the results of all my hard labor.

[burmjohn]

Cool thanks for the feedback.  There are actually 2 agways near by, one in Monticello and one in PA. 

Ahhh Broccoli Rabe.... With sausage, its so good! One of my specialties.

Get about a pound of sausage, cook it in a little bit of olive oil till about 75% done.  Drain fat.

Then take some red pepper, about a cup of white wine, cup of chicken broth...  Cook for another 10 min.

Then toss in the rabe  and mix it up for about 5 min. 

While cooking the sausage and rabe boil up some bow tie noodles till done. 

Mix in the noodles w/ about a 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese

Done. (might have forgot some minor stuff)

[NYBowhunter]

Yes, I love the rabe myself. We grow tons of it and eat alot of it. We plant extra just to make seed. My dad grows everything, he has huge gardens in brooklyn and upstate. BTW the deer love the rabe as well 

[burmjohn]

Thats so cool, never thought of growing my own rabe.

[A6A6]

Broccoli rabe with orecchetti and sausage..

mmmm.......

lmao . its 5am.. now i have to turn the stove on..

[burmjohn]

Haha... I'm making it tomorrow for dinner.

[TheHunter]

I cain't wait to see some more trail cam pics, great ones!

[NYBowhunter]

My dads up there now mowing the clover fields, but hes not too technologically advanced to retrieve the SD cards for me so it will be a couple more weeks before I retrieve some more pictures.

[burmjohn]

Hehe...  My Dad is pretty good with that stuff... He is actually going up there tonight to setup another trailcam on the property that is going to point @ the cabin build.  Figured that might be cool.

Once I get internet in the house upstate I am going to string up some camera wire to one of the busiest spots on the property and get a live feed to my computer in cali wherever and whenever.  Since Im an electrician why not?  A few cameras and I could see whats going on all the time.
