Great Info!!

Thanks.

I got very lucky on the cultipacker. I set a notification alert on my mobile craigslist so I would get immediate notice of any cultipacker that came up for sale. I called right away and went out the same day to buy. It was so cheap I don't even want to mention how much it was.

It packs a 11 foot wide swath with the three rollers.

Got 2 new ground blinds in today. Rogers sporting goods vision blinds...$99. Impressed with the quality on the first inspection. We will see how they hold up.

Got the Rye and Oats yesterday at Producers Coop in Bryan before the Aggie game.

Here are the latest prices.

You have a nice variety there. Hopefully, I can get some updated pics of our plots this weekend that we planted in early august. We have had some good rain the past week so I am excited to see the growth we will have. One plot is outperforming the other 2 so far, but I believe it is because it is closer to a creek so it holds more moisture. Plus I think the other areas have more clay. The peas and soybeans are doing well in the creek plot, but our oats are only doing well closer to the woodline. The turnips and chicory are coming up, but weren't very big the last time I got to check them. We are going to come back and spread some more oats and rye in the next week or two.
This was our first time to do food plots, so it has been a learning experience. We have had fun with it and learned a lot just in this short amount of time.

Nice place unclefish, I run a ranch on the south side of the lake. Know whatcha mean about needing rain

[unclefish]

Stopped by my place today on my way to the Metromess. Dry is an understatement...dust bowl is a better description. These few quarter inch showers we are getting do nothing but settle the dust for a day. We are 15" behind on rainfall to date.

This guy hardened up on August 30th. He is the only shooter buck we have on TC so far.


We have maybe 8-10 younger bucks showing up everyday to eat....but nothing mature.




We usually start seeing new bucks during the rut and when the food plots are going good. Forecast is calling for heavy rain Friday and Saturday with this front. May try to plant on Thursday ahead of it. Another stronger front the Friday before the opener next week too. Cooler weather ahead...finally!

Looking good Steve! Praying for rain with Ya!!
