Day 100 cont'd pics:
Thank you for the update.
I guess local deers are starting to show up for the free food.
Looking forward to next week's update... maybe you'll have a game trail right through the middle of the corn field.
Day 117 Corn patch food plot
Once again I noticed another error in last weeks post, on some of the pictures I had posted Day 100 rather than Day 103, sorry.
Since the last report we've had 3 rains totaling 5.1 inches, the woods are beginning to get wet. Yesterday afternoon my wife and I decided to take a ride on the cart and see how things were looking around the place. Decided to drive by the little patch of corn that was planted a couple of weeks before the food plot was planted. Had mentioned in an earlier post about planting only seed from the soild red ears. (Apparently it had no effect on reproducing only red corn as the few ears we have looked at are not red.) As we started to go along the east side of the little patch, Momma said, "Don't go down this side you'll get stuck." To which I said "Naw, we'll make it, I'll stay on the old tracks where it is more solid." Famous last words. Had to go get a tractor and pull the cart up on undesturbed ground before we could continue our little ride. It was way too wet to even try going around the food plot so we rode around looking at other areas of the farm. There were fresh tracks leading into the peanut field and a little branch that is usually dry was running a little water. Here's how it looked yesterday.
This morning after a 3/10 inch shower, I walked around the east side of the food plot and saw where several deer had been moving since the rain had quit. No pattern yet to their coming and going, but they are walking the edges and entering the corn at random places. Took a picture of one track, it is about the width of my thumb. Don't have any idea how old it was but it did have a tiny hoof print. (A few days back, a neighbor accidentally ran over a spotted fawn while making hay.) Probably need to sign up on the mud racing part of the forum :rolleyes Treefarmer
looks like more rain coming for most of us.
Looks like that ole gumbo mud
