Nice looking plot Mess! I have 6 or so acres of clover & chicory that are the main feeder . I spray once a year for weeds & fertilize . One thing Iāve been doing the last couple years is frost over seeding it when itās ate down to the dirt & it been working well . Usually plant a big radish stand in August & couple small plots to feed through winter .

I love seeing the youth get involved in the outdoors. I feel in the world of tech we are losing our privileges of the outdoors a little at a time & they are our only hope ! Good job on the fish @ thanks for sharing

I run them year around for multiple reasons not just for hunting. I have some fishing holes I keep an eye on & it keeps everyone honest. I get pictures of bobcats, deer , Turkey, quail, owls coyotes, neighbor , skunks , squirrels, dogs, wood duck & an occasional Eagle . I enjoy all of it as I canāt be there all the time yet, but Iām getting closer as there is only 32 Mondays left to go š

Maybe I should have more stands , I have 80 acres & 6 stands . Three stands are close to funnel pinch points , 1 stand overlooking a wooded ravine thatās close to a 2 acre standing clover plot another stand in woods on small plot last stand is overlooking clover plot . I move blind chair some & have shooting house for bad weather thatās on a travel corridor. I want another shooting house & thinking a few mor stands . The bedding are is in the center of property & I donāt go in that at all .

U ever wonder or am I the only one that wonders about how many fish I couldāve caught today ? I am a lot better fisherman than deer Hunter for sure ! Lol Oh I put the time in donāt get me wrong. I have foodplots ,woods & ponds with hills & Iām almost always second guessing stand placement. Does everyone have permanent stands or climbers ? I am not comfortable climbing so I do have a chair & ground blind I move around in . Iām not a small buck shooter & usually take 1 doe in muzzleloader for the freezer . The Moultrie cell cameras have taught me alot about deer movement this year . Iām just a work in progress with a few good bucks to show for it , but itās not a guaranteed thing by no means . Do you hunt rubs after rain ? Do you hunt deeper in the woods with rut winding down? Always good info on here & appreciate everyoneās input though the course of the year ! Thanks & good hunting !

Best investment in my lifetime has been a sleep number bed !! Yep they are expensive but worth every cent! I hate to travel now because of not getting to sleep on it . My only regret is I didnāt buy it sooner š

Heading back from dropping off about 60lbs of deboned meat at Dewigs (& currently stopped by a train).. just sitting here thinking I hope a few of you are sticking it out in these conditions today, this nasty day has big buck written all over it. I take that all back. I've covered quite a few good miles between this morning and just now to and from the public area we hunt and not seen a deer. Also hiked back in to pull a few cameras from a fairly deep area and never jumped any. Kinda weird tbh. Been in shooting house all day , does moved early & after the rain stopped. You can let him outta his cage anytime Iām ready !! Lol

I love the total experience! The working the land to supply food for mother natureās creatures to growing tree from seed to plant that will be around long after Iām gone . The excitement of opening day till the last day of late bow season & spending time with friends & family. God has truly blessed me to experience all I have in my lifetime

How many gather seeds & grow them to plant on your property? Iāve got some persimmon Iāve done from seed that are 12ā tall now . This year Iām branching out with crabapple, persimmon,dogwood, redbud, apple & even a few acorns . Hopefully next fall I have a variety pack ready to go in the ground . Would anyone be interested in a seed exchange ?

Closure is good for the family and to be found by another hunter is also good . He died doing what he loved , if we all could be this lucky! Rip brother !

I am married to your wifeās sister on the word NO ! Lol ! I think you can get it done , itās all in the presentation ! Put things in the deal she really likes or wants . I have wanted to build a barninilum & she was a firm no but I kept sending her pictures of how nice some of them are & I think if all goes well we are going to start building one in the spring . This process took 4 years but I was persistent š! Good luck šš»

Iāve been through very similar circumstances. The one thing I smiled about were the cameras were password protected and are useless to the thieves. I lost several spots before I got mad enough to go buy my own spot and now enjoy everything about it . God test us in many ways & always remember EVERYONE has to stand before him & that helps with the rage of wrong doing . I just updated to some cell service cameras that have built in gps by Moultrie . Have a good season ! It can be your best one yet !
