dogdoc Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 I made me a little kill plot on the back of my property. The area is very grown up and I haven't been able to get a tractor back there to do anything. This summer I spend a lot of time with the chain saw and the front end loader and built me a path to this little natural opening. The area has always been loaded with deer signs (scrapes/bedding/rubs) so I decided to clear a path and build a little plot in this area. It was a lot of hard work cutting old logs and branches and trees so I hope it pays off. I am now able to get my Kubota back there and work this little area up. Once I made a tractor path I mowed with the brush hog--the weeds were 5 to 6 ft tall. I waited a few weeks then strapped on the back pack sprayer and killed all the vegetation with glyphosate. I waited a week then tilled the path and the small opening. The tilled path is about 200 yards winding thru some thick brush and pecan trees. This is the small natural opening. After I tilled with the 3-pt tillerI planted Evolved Throw and Grow on the opening and the path. I did not bury the seed just drove over the seed with the tractor tires to press into soil: Got really lucky and received a 0.8" rain on it the evening after planting so I've already got great germination (1 week post planting): Wish me luck--it was a lot of work for such a small plot so hopefully it will work out. todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PotashRLS Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 The rewards of elbow grease, sweat and diesel fuel are great! Those are the little honey holes that get one's blood flowing. Look forward to more pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion_70 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 That looks really good Todd. I love sneaking down trails like that, never know what's around the corner. Makes good bunny hunting later too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sluggunner Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Accurate name. I really think that calling it your little kill plot is going to prove to be a very accurate name for that sweet spot. I would be willing to bet within the next year or two you will take your best buck ever off that plot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
