My 2019 plots

[WNYBuckHunter]

I’ve been working on my plots quite a bit this year. I expanded them a bit, so I’m up to just about 2 acres planted. The clover plot has been a bit of a struggle, as it’s loaded with weeds. I’d really like to get ahold of some Kleth for it. Maybe next year. The big plot is all planted and I’m in the process of installing an electric fence to keep it from being cleaned out before the season starts again. I put A mix of Daikon Radish, Purple Top Turnips, Rape and a Ted and white clover mix in it this year.

Fence is up, Ihope it keeps them out.

What a rough cost on a portable fence?

Nice Looks good Sir .. The fence works wonders. I bought one that ran off D size batteries for 140$ and covered about an acre. It worked great at keeping deer out.

I hope we get come rain.  Since we planted over a week ago, only one day with rain.  Not good!

Looks good I just plant bigger plots as deer eat everything can imagine fencing off a plot

Looks like a sweet setup. When do you take electric fence down- mid September?

I’m jealous at how few rocks I see in those pics. Looks great! I had good success with the fence in the past. Only issue was the dam turkeys charged straight through it and broke the wire.

Damn-- pics look good. If, I had money, I would get a food plot going on my piece of Heaven Land.-- A Dollar And A Dream.

Join Qdma. $9 soybeans. The deer are enjoying mine.

For everything, it ran me about $500 to fence in close to an acre and a half total. I bought a more powerful controller than I really needed, its a 2.8 joule model. From everything I read, 1 joule is recommended for deer.

Last year my plots were down to the dirt by mid september. I dont have much room to expand them any more than they are now, so I have to do what I have to do.

Ill take it down a week before season starts. Im sure they will be in there immediately. Last year I had pics of 20-30 deer in that plot at a time.

Alot of rock picking happened last year and this year. Every pass with the tiller brings more up lol. They are there, just hard to see.

Did you consider this stuff?  I heard it works but never tried it.

Maybe in the long run, an electric fence is a better option.

I know someone that used it and has pics of deer just going right under it. Im not taking chances this year and I dont mind the price, as Ill be able to use it year after year.

I tried the plot saver ribbon my first year ever planting soybeans, it helped but it just isn’t as effective as the electric fence. Just under 600 to close off a full acre.

My buddy used it on his beans last year, kept every deer out, this year, that story has changed big time.

That tilller sure does a nice job. Having the Kioti ahead of it is an added bonus. Hows the tractor working out?
