LOL
That will be tonight. Rain tomorrow and then some additional deer stomping and it should take off.
I can almost smell fresh backstraps and venison roast!

it looks like the no-till is working for us . there is a slight green look to the food plot . when we went in looking around there is stuff coming up . in some places it's coming good , in others it's skimpy . this would be about 10 days since we planted .
this food plot was looking a little rough . we put some fertalizer on it , and looks to be perked up again .
pumpkin patch seems to be doing well . here and there the deer are feeding on the leaves .
in close to the pumpkin patch, Sally found another bone .
it's starting to look like our fawn survival rate is not good .

A meal fit for kings! Following a day of investment, it is undoubtedly a well-earned reward.
That's a nice looking tractor JD!

Nice size plots you have going on.
Hard to find good help these days.. He's always napping on the job
He is a rip though. Kid loves anything with a motor, tracks, tires, etc..

you guys dirt looks like potting soil compared to what we have . our better fields were covered in sludge , when the coal job was finished , about 35 years ago . the latter fields from the coal job did not get sludge. I hate to say it , but the sludge fields do grow better , a lot better .

we put in 3 more food plots yesterday . these are on the smaller side . I didn't get any pics . I don't know the sizes ., I'll guess around 40 x 100 each . here are two of the seed bags we planted . we also planted rye , it was in a plain white burlap bag .
we put out the last of our minerals too . we've been putting out minerals the beginning of each month . with hunting season about six weeks away , yesterday we gave the final dose for the year . here is the mineral supplement we've been using . it takes 3 buckets of mineral to freshen up our sites .

He is a brute. Yeah, he's getting to be the size that hunters love to mount.
