I just watched this video on the Groundhog. I don't know about that little disc. I just can't imagine it doing much. I have a flip over ATV disc that I can get in pretty remote areas. I like the concept but just don't know how well it would do on virgin ground that has never been worked before.

Early season when you are hunting over decoys then your shots shouldn't be too far. I use an IC choke with Kent Fast Steel 3 inch #3.
Have fun--I love hunting on rivers.

Chicory doesn't require a frost to become palatable. Brassicas usually do require a frost to turn the starches sweet. Chicory can get quite tall, I usually keep mine mowed to about 6 inches. When they get too tall they lose their palatabilty.
you don't want the smorges board to begin yet cuz once they find that it will be gone in a hurry. Once my deer start keying in on the brassicas them mow it down in a hurry.
looks good--we've had some nice rain here in Okie land.

this is a 1.5 acre plot planted mainly in wheat. It is next to my duck pond so when the pond is full it comes up right to the wheat. Planted for geese and deer:
I mowed a few strips in the soybeans. The paths lead to a well placed bow stand. I planted the strips with wheat:

This is my main food plot. On the left is the Eagle Soybeans I planted this spring. They have been the main source of warm season food on my place for the deer. I disced up about an acre or so next to them and planted my cool season plot:
After discing:

Another plot that follows my creek:

A lot of work but all my plots are in and have been blessed with plenty of moisture. We actually could use some sunshine now to get plants growing a little better but I never curse the rain.
This is my little hidden plot that I posted earlier:

yes--oats aren't as winter hardy as wheat/rye. I wouldn't be surprised if they live thru an Alabama winter but I don't think they would survive a MN or nothern WI winter.
Had a great time--appreciate you guys waiting on me (had to work till noon). Realtree definitely has some classy pro-staffers! We did have a hard time getting Tim out for lunch. All the women at Bass Pro were lining up for his picture and autograph. I tried to help but none of them wanted my pic
Scott--thanks again for lunch!

winter attraction---brassicas and cereal grains. Late fall/early winter I really like oats but your will lose your oats after a couple hard freezes. Cereal grains are such good winter nutrition with their high carbs.
Spring/summer--need something high protein. Hard to beat a good clover plot as well as soybeas/cowpeas. The high protein is needed to recover from the tough winter and also for fawning/antler growth.
Is your soil this red?
oh man--i'm so full. Got BBQ sauce all over my shirt.
We had a great lunch. Thanks Tim for having lunch with us and signing the pictures for my girls.
Scott and Team Realtree--thanks for lunch!!!!
