MIA for awhile

Unread postby RUTIN » Fri May 30, 2014 3:46 am

Been MIA for awhile.... laying low on the internet and getting back to basics. A lot of new faces on here which is good to see! This past season was a rough deer season for me, I had several deer over 140" I was trying to kill but just couldn't make it happen. Already stacking the odds in my favor this year. Planted 4 acres of my property this year in food plots. Last year I had a mid 50's clean 10pt I was trying to kill but I never got the opportunity. I just gained access to the 650 acres of farm land he was bedding on, so I hope to relocate him and end this friendship between me and him.

Had a local farmer plant RR Soybeans yesterday on 3 acres, planting clover in a secluded bottom tomorrow along my creek bottom, and turnips/brassicas this fall on the hilltop in the bean field as well. Not to mention I'm planting the entire thing in plot screen with wind breaks to force natural deer movements that I've patterned over the year. Here's some before pics, I will post up some mid growth pics, and finished pics from the stand once everything is grown. The deer have been flat out tearing the monster raxx mineral sites up since Feb when my 4 yr old and I put them out. Now we just wait for the seed to grow, the deer to show, and the arrows to turn red.

Not to mention my other project which has kept me off the internet a lot.... Duck dawg #2 out of National Field Champ "Emmitt". He's been a handful and a lot of fun.

Glad to see you back on. Is that a 4 ft tiller? How long did it take to till up 4 acres?
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

John - yes he's been on birds since he was 6 weeks old.

Stanley - yea 4' tiller, I only tilled one acre and the rest was drill seed soybeans. I thought it was going to take awhile to till the one acre and surprisingly it didn't take long at all.
