dogdoc Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 checking the plots. My deer are really being weird right now. The bucks still have their antlers--which is still pretty normal right now--but all of a sudden I am getting pics of bucks sparring and seeing new rubs Anyway--I went out today to do a little scouting, check on the plots, and see if any antlers have dropped--took a few pics and thought i would share! Here is a new rub I found on a main trail right inside my Hamann Farms food plot: Here is a before and after pic of the Hamann Farms Winter mix. This pic was taken in November: Here is what the polot looks like today--the deer had eaten everything green but with the nice weather we have been having the brassicas are starting to grow a little more forage--but any way you can see how much the deer have been foraging on the brassicas: Here is a pic of the Fall Blend--clover/chicory/ and trefoil--you can see the deer have mowed the clover to the ground---but as you can see the clover is still very green and should recover nicely once it starts spring growth: Here are some pics of my annual fall mix. It is a mix that is made here locally---the cereal grains have really started producing with the warmer weather--which is great since most natural forage has been browsed pretty heavily: And my last pic---One of Oneida Man's State Fair winning turnips You can see the deer have eaten most of the turnip greens: BTW--the pic of the two bucks sparring is posted in the photo room if you want to see it! todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Re: Just doing a little scouting and....(pics) Plots look great Todd. We saw very few rubs here this year, which is very unusual. Think the screwy weather made for really poor rutting activity at the time the rut normally would be peaking here.

Guest MarylandQDMA Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Re: Just doing a little scouting and....(pics) nice! I hope my plot looks like that! I think next year I might have to try that winter blend. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Re: Just doing a little scouting and....(pics) Wow! Awesome pics Todd, thanks for sharing. I'll bet those bucks are running a few hot doe fawns, Tom has been seeing a fair amount of rutting activity both in January and on February 8th. Pretty wild.
