I don't know all the different varieties of white clovers but they are broken down into small, medium, and large. Ladino is in the large group and is the most common used in food plotting. But to answer your question I think any white would work. good luck todd

cool---i love that show

oh yea. My property has at least a hundred producing pecan trees so there are always plenty of squirrels. Wish the deer would enjoy the pecans as much as the squirrels.

I have always had problems with squirrels and coons climbing the legs on my feeders to rob more corn. Even with the varmint guard they can use their hands to turn the spinner and dump more corn out. Then they jump down and eat the corn and repeat the process over and over. I've had coon empty 200# of corn in just a few days. Several years ago i tried putting vaseline on the legs and it worked great. One application will last a good year and even longer. This squirrel gave it it's best shot but never made. Thought this was a funny pic. todd

How many hours of sunlight do you get? I think your best bet is a white clover and try to plant in the fall or frost seed it late winter. With no leaf canopy in the trees you will get a head start on the young clover before the leaves start shading out the clover. The head start will allow and better root system then if planted mid-spring. As far as a cereal grain I think rye grain would be your best bet. good luck todd

that's just too cold. I guess when u don't know any difference you just get used to it. I am glad I am a "little" more south. Ready for some playoffs and enjoying all the bowl games. I do believe the Packers have the advantage with this game. todd

congrats on a successful season!!! todd

Sounds insane but if you want to build up your organic matter in your soil then you want to stop plowing/discing your soil. Here is something you can try and after a few years you will replace that top soil. Everytime you disc you are removing valuable moisture and microbes from your soil. If you plant your fall rye/wheat and instead of discing it in you either spray and cut or roll it down and then spray it you will leave a thick layer of thatch on the top of the ground. This will break down and eventually add back organic matter to the topsoil. So lets say you want to plant buckwheat this spring---Which is very aggressive and out competes weeds. What I would do is either let the wheat mature and then cut the wheat right after broadcasting the buckwheat. The chopped up wheat (thatch) will work like a mulch over the buckwheat and after a good rain the buckwheat will germinate under the thatch. The thatch will breakdown and replenish the organic matter. And if you had good seed heads the next fall when soil temps and air temps become ideal for wheat the seeds will germinate and you'll have a free wheat plot (unless you have lots of turkeys). The more you disc and plow the longer it will take to replenish the topsoil. Kinda sounds crazy but it really works. When you have a few hours of free time click on this link. It's a thread over at the QDMA that shows how a guy on sandy land has improved his soil. It's incredible. http://www.qdma.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57057

No. About the only thing you might get away with planting in March is oats but I would just wait till mid april then get you a spring plot started. todd

wishing you a safe and successful hunt. todd

WTG---enjoy the backstraps. todd

must be the holiday season

Welcome!! Find a local farm seed store (which i am sure there are many in your area) and get some iron and clay cowpeas. They grow really good in sandy soil--however, if we have a hot dry summer you could lose anything you plant. You can plant anytime after danger of freeze. I usually wait till after April 15th. You could also plant some wild game forage sorghum with the peas to give them something to climb and increase the forage production. You will probably need to plant a minimum of 2 acres to be able to compete with the deer forage. In the fall use the other two acres to plant a combination of cereal ryegrain (NOT ryegrass) mixed with a forage radish. Both of those will do fine in the sandy soil. Sandy soil isn't ideal but hey--gotta play the hand your dealt. let me know if you have any more questions. todd

what you really need to do is set up a good camera survey starting mid summer. I'd probably set up 4 cameras though out your land. Bait (if legal) with corn and a mineral block. That way you can get a pretty good count of how many bucks you have using your land. Of course this could change a little when the bachelor groups break up but at least it will give you a baseline. You can check out Watch Deer Hunting Videos. Free. GrowingDeer.tv and check out all the videos by Dr. Grant Woods. He has several that explain how to use game cameras to access your deer herd and numbers. todd

Every situation is a little different. All depends on your deer population. Do you know the age of the bucks taken? My bet if that many bucks have already been taken then there are plenty of does on your hunting property. If this is a hunting club then you might want to talk about an age restriction. There is really no need to take younger bucks if there are plenty of does (except for kids). If your only shooting 3.5 year plus bucks you will probably see a decrease in the number of bucks killed.

Picked up a couple pears in pots--about 6ft tall for 12 bucks at Home Depot (50% off). I ordered my bare roots from Willis Orchard--very reasonable and shipping wasn't too bad for 5 trees.

Decided to add some variety to my clover field. Plot is doing great. Right now mainly wheat but lots of small jumbo ladino clover popping up. I decided to add some fruit trees this fall. So far I have planted two apples (gala and a yellow delicious) and two keiffer pears. Picked up another pear tree (orient) to have a cross pollinator--even though they are self fertile pears. Everything I read said another variety will help. I've got 5 more trees ordered that are bare root that I will plant in 5 gallon rootmaker pots and keep at the house and plant next fall. An Arkansas Black Apple, Granny Smith Apple, HoneyCrisp Apple, Dolgo Crabapple, and a Moonglow Pear. Here are my two pear trees and a little of the plot todd

finally!!! Had the stent removed today. They knocked me out for that and finally the little @#*^*#* is out of my body!!!!!! Amazing something so small can cause so much pain thanks for all the prayers and good wishestodd

enjoyed the story. very nice buck. congrats to both of you todd

congrats--nice buck. todd

well i had the lithotripsy on monday and it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. I was just a little sore around my left kidney. The biggest irritant is the stent. It is very uncomfortable and stings when i pee. Go back to the dr tomorrow to see if the stent can come out. thanks for the wishes todd

can't give a fair review for you as i have never owned either. I have always been very satisfied with everything I have purchased from Cabela's in regards to hunting. I have been unhappy with several RedHead products. But when it comes to BPS fishing stuff I absolutely love it. I would choose Cabela's waders over BPS. I order a lot of duck related stuff from Rogers and have always been very satisfied with Rogers. They are a great company. todd

Nice buck Dale. Great to see ya still around and kicking. think about the bow shoots often--those were a lot of gun. congrats on the great buck todd
