No announcement yet.
Anyone started food plots yet, or any other preparations for hunting this fall?

My neighbor plants an array of crops that keep the deer in the area so I don't do anything on my place.

Seems like a ways off, but summer flies by and it will be fall before you know it. Who else is getting ready?Last edited by amekassa4000; 08-17-2019, 04:33 PM.

Originally posted by fitch270 View PostI took the day off as the boy is done with school and my FIL is here. We cut up some maples that I’d cut late last fall for the deer to chew on, then limed and seeded a section of ground I’d previously tilled. After that I broke ground on a new section that I’ll turn over a couple more times for planting later this summer.

Originally posted by Ontario Honker Hunter View PostPicked up a 360 Chrysler engine for my cabin cruiser a couple of weeks ago and need to pull the shot 318 out before salmon start to run. Right now I'm finishing up remodelling an old bedroom into showroom for my daughter's taxidermy business. An awful job! Three layers of wallpaper plus a couple of paint in between to peel off before I can put up new stuff and wainscoting. The main wall is barn board and already done. It will provide a darker background to make the mounts stand out more. Also helps absorb shadows from the spot lights. The other walls will be same wallpaper as adjacent living room (see attached image). Because the wall separating them is not supporting, I will eventually tear it out when Jessie's business gets established and moved elsewhere. Eliminating tht wall will double the size of my tiny living room. So I'm now putting up the same wallpaper/wainscoting motif the showroom to minimize remodelling in the future. Anyway, I'm very tied up for a while. Contemplating buying an O/U since I seem to be shooting a borrowed SKB very well at trap and clays. Not sure I need to kill more birds though. Having trouble getting the stuff from last year consumed. Some old folks at church may be getting care packages tomorrow morning.

Originally posted by country road View PostI just finished planting four acres of iron and clay peas---got rained on as I was finishing the last row. Now, three days later, they are already sprouting. I still have two more plots to plant, but we have had so much rain that, even though I can easily get the tractor and implements to the plots, I won't be able to get back up the slippery hills. That won't work.
The only mowing I'm doing is purely cosmetic along the main roads since anything I cut now will be right back in a couple of weeks. I won't be planting my winter plots until October, or maybe even early November, depending on rainfall. Summer gets here early and stays late in SW AL. Fawns won't drop until August.

Originally posted by Red Angus View PostI'll start this weekend if I get time. The seed I'd ordered for a buffer strip was delivered this afternoon.
The goal of the buffer is to enhance the cover and provide a variety of food sources around the edge of the field so the wildlife eats less of the cash crop. So it is a food plot of sorts, but easier to justify :-)

Originally posted by FirstBubba View PostSince I lost the "Pecan Grove", I've got two spots to work with.
One will have a wheat pasture in place, the other is a spot on the edge of another wheat pasture.
I've got to get time to go down there first! About a 60 mile roundtrip!

The landowner was old and in poor health. He had heart surgery in the spring of '17 and claimed he hadn't felt that good in years.
During the summer he passed away.
Heirs immediately moved the house renters out and made the guy renting the pasture move his cattle out.
We had a contract, but they never contacted us, so we continued to hunt.
Our contract was up 12/17 anyway. The heirs are so flighty, we didn't even try.
They live out of state and have no interest in the property. It's on the market.
Sure wish I had $250K laying around! LOL!
If I had THAT much laying around, I would already have a "place".

Just get the O/U, if you use the thing there’s no other reason needed to have to justify it. The old guns served you well, no shame in giving them a break.
