I’ve spent 4 of the last 8 days in some form of preparation for this fall. Last weekend we got a couple of food plots in before the rain started.
They are each half to three quarters of an acre and hopefully will grow wheat, rye, turnips, clover, alfafa, and peas. Last year we sorta over did it with the turnips and they took over the whole plot (a little turnip seed goes a long way):
Then mid-week I worked with the Feds, a farmer friend and the local co-op to check on the status of getting 20 acres of food plots planted for the WRP property. I have no idea how it looks but it was allegedly drilled before the recent rains. I saw two absolutely tremendous bucks on this property last year but never fired a shot and ended up eating my Missouri rifle tag. I plan to have a few more stands on this property for the 2009 season.
And then yesterday and today I knocked out the rest of the food plots at the Kansas place where we do most of our hunting. After running the disk for a couple of hours I got back to the cabin and noticed 10 jakes and toms hanging out just below the deck. I snagged my video camera and tried to shoot some footage but I was distracted by the crazy crop duster that kept flying right over my head. Take a look:
Anyway, that project is done, now there are stands to place there on the Kansas side too… and dove season is only 10 days away…
