hoosierhunter Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 This past weekend kicked off my season prep work in earnest. I sprayed the fall plots with roundup, hit the clover with grass killer, trimmed some trees and planted two acres of beans. A few tweaks this season should make for a great early October. The stage was set last year for daylight movement and hopefully this year the right deer reads the script. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 I need to start getting ready myself. I've been so busy with the kids baseball and softball I haven't had a chance to do a thing yet. The summers passing me by.....October will be here before you know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Going to start doing some things this weekend at the MS club. Planning to head to MO next week and get some things done there too, including setting out the trail cams on mineral licks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrow32 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I'm going to start prep here this week at some point. I need to make sure I can get up the hill and make sure everything is good to go and find a new stand location or two. Won't be any crops but sure wish I could get one in. Going to set trail cams as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 The weather finally cooperated where we could get some projects done in MO. It's been raining a lot in that area...hot & humid too! Spent last week there with a friend and thanks to a cool front moving through Tuesday, we were able to get a lot done. Besides regular summer chores to do around the camp, we managed to get 36 stands ready to hunt and set out 8 of our cams mainly on mineral licks in higher ground spots. Too much risk of flooding from more rain to run cams in the low areas. Most of our clover plots looked OK but some were under water long enough to kill everything in them...bummer. The ground was still saturated in those plots too. We'll probably head back in a couple of weeks to start planting fall plots...if it's not too wet. After the next trip, hope to have some buck pics on the cams to share too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 I had the Stihl out this afternoon for a bit cutting some trees that were on the trails. Still lots to do, got too dang hot to run a chainsaw this afternoon! Hopefully there'll be some cooler days in the near future so I can get some more stuff cut and trimmed up along the trails and around my future treestand area.
