Food plot and a little work today

My little one is gearing up to try and shoot her first deer. She's 9 years old and I think she's gonna be a stone cold killa.

Just catching up. All fun stuff. Congrats on buck. You still think he was the one you shot earlier? Any scars when you skinned him? They can be tough critters.

Thanks Rusty.

Yes I'm pretty certain. No scar but when I skinned him he had a notch in some cartilage just below the spine on the side I hit him last year. Also he had a little yellow spot on the bone only in that spot. So I'm thinking yes but not 100% positive.

His frame was exactly like last year only he was a 10pt this year.

Hunted this weekend my youngest daughter. Saw a few bucks but nothing to shoot.

Plots look good....with the warm weather and the fertilizer I put out.....it's really boosted the plots. Kale is starting to grow and actually withstand browse pressure.
A few pics...


Clover really starting to pop...

My little hunter in the kale mix....



Already thinking about what I'll try in the spring for plots and this season isn't even over yet....Lol. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Yep !! Already thinking about the spring food plots. I love the EB Soybeans but they are not cheep. Cost for 1 acre is around 300. But man those deer will walk over everything to get to the beans. And for the first time ever, I left the beans standing and threw into standing beans Rye grain. It worked great after a heavy seeding of the grain. I was watching some video fo one food plot and the does are select picking the beans this week. Cool. But after reading some QDMA post, I may do the outside in EB Soybeans and inside RR agg Beans. This would reduce the cost per 1 acre by around 30%. So yep, I'm thinking about spring food plots What u thinking?

Sounds like a great plan! I'm thinking about trying some Eagle Beans as well.

I'm also thinking about Sunn Hemp. Outstanding protein levels (30%), Heat/Drought tolerant, the #1 most widely used cover crop in the world, produces 5,000lbs of green tonnage per acre. Some of the QDMA guys have had great success with it.....and the deer supposedly will eat the heck out of it.

I like the sunn hemp. I might try it with some ic peas on a power line cut.

It does sound great....I just hope once it starts growing the black helicopters don't start circling with mistaken identity.....

[texas bound]

Lol. That's true

[deer farmer]

Does the Sun Hemp look like the Good Stuff? lol And how do u feel about my thinking on a new plot I have this fall. It's a about 2.5 acre spot now containing Oats, Rye along with small amount of clover and chicory. it has been a good spot this season where I have let several bucks walk and missed a chance on a monster buck. He busted me when I pulled the bow back. That wont happen again. Fixed that. But I am not sure what I want to do there this spring. Something to keep the weeds out by leaving them no place and no sunlight to grow. Heavy Soybean planting does this but I was thinking something else here. I don't need any more clover's. So what about the hemp or something else? Listening
