Finally got started on my food plot

[Raven]

Yep, I've got a pond in my plot. I'm in a swampy area.

Willow trees suck up tons of water. Plant a few willow trees

 

[capt.joe]

Im stuck in pattis shipyard pulling long days. Tug is in worse shape than we thought. Hope i can cut more of the high spot soon

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

It's good to have friends with tractors. Opening up plot and disking. They are gonna plant on the 2nd.

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Planting sat. Dixie6 seed blend and chicken poop! Also going to move and reset/ lift shooting house and build feed Trough. Checking on a lease waaay north of me. If it has hogs I'm in!

Too much chicken poo will burn it. Especially if the poo is "green".
Other than that,i used it for a couple of years,great stuff to plant 5Way in. Chicory and purple top turnips also.
Really too late now,but make sure to put the lime to it HEAVY. Especially if under pines.
Best way,get a cart full from a CO-OP. I used to rent a cart from the CO-OP in Walnut Hill.
If it is loaded too full you will need a 3/4 ton strong truck to pull it.
A ton per acre initially,then cut back every year.
To me,lime is the very best thing you can add to a food plot. It is still pretty cheap.
The fert is what will really cost. --- SAWMAN

Yep. Forgot about the lime got that too. Chicken poop is processed. Makes some of the fellas gag, it's hilarious. I wish the rain would lay off.

 

[SAWMAN]

I used to buy it "green" from a farm over in Elberta,and spread it. That is how i know that too much/too thick is not good.
I would suspect that the processed would be great. I just never wanted to pay for it. The fert was bad enough.
Most people do not understand what it takes to have a good food plot. Especially in this north Fla red clay,sand,and planted pines.
I basically get all the peanuts that i want for free. I planted about 1/3rd bbl one year. They came up great and after the deer,hogs,and turkey got done with them,about 10-15% came back as volunteer's.
Plant some kernels from this kinda corn and it will come up also. Just will not have as big of ears. --- SAWMAN

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

This is the chuflas I hand planted back in July. We got a little carried away...lol.
I think people don't realize the amount of work a sucessful club entails.

Looks good RR, I know for a fact that most folks have no idea what it takes to manage hunting land.

Yep, roads, brush, lines of sight. Etc,etc... filling feeders, removing pests.

 

[Metal Storm]

Maintenance of shooting hut, shampoo carpet, wash and iron drapes, clean coffee pot and stock pantry. Cleaning cob webs and running from wasps nests. Lol

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

The Bride and I went to the camp. Othet members too.. goofing off, talking bs, showing pics. Filling feeders, troughs, new batts in cameras. Planting and building platforms for shooting houses. Its amazing what I can load on a 4 wheeler.Long day but fun!

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Putting out taters today. Little green square to the right of the utv is my buddy's elevated stand. Putting the new Ford to work.

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

More camp fun. Grass is growing! Got my shooting house set. Need steps and cross bracing still.. Then a treet when done for the day.

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Look at that grass, me installing solar panel on my bride's feeder. Now I have to figure out how to do the cel cams.

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

More camp fun. Built steps and other assorted projects. Sat for 1 hour in house to check sight lines. 1730-1830. Had 3 good does come in.

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]
