Deer Food Plots

Since Marty and I leave for Colorado Monday, the food plots had to be done today.

I subsoiled Monday with a single shank subsoiler. No rocks here. ;D I was down about 12"-14"

Then this morning I broke it up with the disk.

The seeds were mixed using a precise ultra secret and carefully guarded formula. ;D

The seed and fertilizer was then distributed.

The disk blades were now straight and the drag/harrow hooked up to cover the seed. Almost immediately after I finished, I got a nice little rain and we are looking for more tomorrow and Saturday. As warm as it is, those seed should really sprout.

I plant 4 plots. Two that we hunt and two that we do not. I also have ~150 acres of timber where no hunting is allowed.

There should be good growth when we get back from Colorado. ;D

Good luck again this year Lynn. I got my 3 plots in about 3 months ago. The deer are hitting them. I hope to get something this year. Got skunked on my own place but got 2 in w. va last year. Freezer is empty.

Nice, looks like a double bonus, go to the mountains, hunt, come home and more hunting, 8) I can even see where I might set up, just over by those separated oaks on the far side of the plot, looks kinda like a state park, ;D david

In the sorta top right corner of the second picture, you can see the Straw House.

There was a huge Red Oak tree behind it but lightning struck and killed it. It finally fell last year. :-\
