I know some of you have property that you do ongoing projects on. What projects do you have planned for this summer to complete for next season? My summer time projects are as follows:
My father and I are planning on adding in some significant food plots. These areas are all new, never had a food plot in them, however the bottom two are at least already fields. The top one will be clearing trees and a significant amount of clearing, all wooded right now. Plowing is taking place this week, in the areas that are fields. We plan to lime and disc in 2 weeks when I am down there for turkey season and then let it settle and leach in (hopefully getting to a 6.5-7ph level) until early August when we will begin seeding. We will be planting Biologic Full Draw, Maximum, and Premium Perennial. The big plot on the bottom left will be 50% Full Draw, 25% Maximum, and 25% Premium Perennial. The other plots will be all Full Draw. I also have a bag of Secret Spot that I will be putting in somewhere, not sure yet. I have a 2250 lbs of lime in bags that we will be spreading, hopefully this will be enough. There will be about 1.5-2 acres of food plots total going in between all the areas. I will be doing tests in two weeks on the soil to see where it is at right now, I am guessing 5.5ph or so. The good thing about the fields is that there has been manure spread weekly on them for the last 3 years, so it is all fertilized very well. The blue circle next to the large foodplot is also another permanent stand that we plan to build so that will give my father an additional spot to hunt, he doesn't like my portable lock ons that I have scattered all over.
