    No 4-wheeler? No tractor? No problem!

    food plots not just for deer

    I have had three toms and up to 30 hens feeding in this plot on a daily basis. I sure hope these boys stick around this spring. This is a plot of winter rye/oats and clover.

    radishes!!

    Anyone have any big radishes or turnips yet? I was down on my place saturday and I was surprised to see I had radish roots pushing 10" in length and the deer were digging them up all ready. I can only imagine once we get a hard frost.

    Acorns

    Is it me or are they dropping like crazy this year? While fall turkey hunting this morning it was raining acorns all morning, both red and whites. After shooting my bird I walked around a little and the forest floor is littered with acorns. Anyone else seeing this?

    Shooting does early VS late

    What's your opinion when it comes to shooting does early VS late? Personally I would rather shoot a doe later in the season just so I don't bugger up my spots for prime time (tracking and disturbing area). In addition, I like to have as many does as I can on and around my property from Oct-15...
