Lol Texan, I hope by now you've gotten the rain you need and tractors are a ways off for now.

robinhood80, it's a King Kutter and I bought it at Tractor Supply for just over $500.

jimmy, I left those bushes for that exact reason. Last year several times I watched multiple bucks rub and scrape next to those, especially the larger as you said. Excellent observation. Here's a link to the start and what it looked like before I disc'd it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v499/Poorguy/2005_1001openingday0054.jpg
And here it was late last fall.



titleist, RonM, thanks guys.

ALL, I walked in last Friday to look it over for the first time in weeks since I spread the seed. With the rain, sun etc....it's greening up quite nicely. Mostly it's the rye grass but the clovers are coming on. I'll walk back in and take some new pictures to post which I'll do in a new thread and link this one. Thanks again everyone for the great advice. I'm having a ball with this so far and can't wait to hunt over it.

The next question which I'm reading a couple threads as well is when to mow, and if and when to fertilize.
