Born2Hunt Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Here is a picture of one of our Shot Plot plots. This field was 24 inches high before the first frost and now it looks like this. I wish I was there to see the deer that ate all those stems.(LOL) The stems are only about 3 or 4 inches high now.

FSU_Seminole Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Re: Mowed down Shot Plot!!!!!! Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!! You should some how set a trail camera up with a 2x4 on th edge of the cotton field if you have a camera. That is really awesome & it gets me excited because my shot plot is starting to get hit pretty hard. Plus the night time temps will be falling into the teens this weekend. Good pic!!!!!

At this point now though I am just wondering if there are any deer left around to hit them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All kiding aside it was a very good plot and it will feed deer for another month or so so yes it is very succesful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LETMGROW Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Re: Mowed down Shot Plot!!!!!! We sure hope so. This brings our year-round plan full circle. Up here deer have a tough time some winters finding good nutrition. Last year the deer were into the turnips in February. They are also located where the deer aren't pressured to move alot wasting valuable energy. With our snowfall depths of over 300" per year average, we try to provide good nutrition with a balance of low stress. There is also an abundant supply of natural browse nearby.
