Thanks for the gracious comments! I enjoy keeping up with the ups and downs of deer management on small acreage, maybe some day I'll figure it out. :dtect

Clover/corn food plot Day 247
Well today is quite a day weather wise in all the southeast! Rained about 4/10" late yesterday evening, woke up around 3:30 this morning and the sleet was falling. No snow like we seen a few times but it is cold! As I start this post it is 28 degrees at 3pm, this is the high for today, it was only 25 at daylight. There was sleet on the vehicles, the deck, the roof of my shop and around the trunks of of the planted pines adjacent to the food plot.
Last Wednesday, I killed the 4 point that had been hanging around. Dressing a deer has become a bigger job as I get older. So Thursday morning I was still "recuperating" and decided not to go to the stand. Should have went, another buck was on the camera around 8:30 or so. This buck looked like he had already shed on the right side, not a broken beam but completely gone. Those big boys that showed up a few months back haven't been around to have their picture made. Still hoping to see one. Added corn to feeder on the lease a couple of days ago and filled the one here at the house this morning. Love those On Time Feeder motors!
Monday night was the last time a deer came by the feeder, that was before the weather was beginning to change. Not sure where they lay up and for how long as we get these extreme weather conditions?
More pictures than usual today because of the extreme Florida weather. Lots of folks are used to this weather, but it always amazes me when we have such cold. Some of the pictures will show the condition of the Rye grain and how it's holding up in the cold and the wet. then some pictures of the sleet and ice from this cold snap. Y'all stay warm!
