I miss my food plot.
Have not planted one in 5 years. Slowly the clover has been taken over by other weeds. My brothers apple trees are doing good though.
Last year we were three for three in bucks with all three racks wider than the ears mine being an 8 my brothers also an 8 and the nephews a 7 but his was bigger and thicker. We have never gotten three bucks like that in the same year. The last 3 years we did get one per season. Before this we were getting runts.
I have been out four times so far and only one day I saw three. They are not marching through the plot like cattle in the past four years. Only one year did they march through like cattle but I at least saw one when I went out.
I will have my plot redone next year for sure. I slowed down because I have a 2 and 6 year old boys. Cannot wait for next year and I will go from one plot to hopefully 5 plots next year. 3 of them will be small ones.
Do I think plots are good......heck ya. Good for everyone even my neighbors because we have antler restrictions on our land and alllows them to get the deer we do not. I do not mind what they shoot because of the results we have gotten in the past 4 years........
