I have been putting small plots like clover and turnups out because we have 67 acres usually in beans or corn. Rifle hunting kinda messes everything up. Its tradition to have my brother in law and his father come down and hunt with my dad and I. I have not taken a rifle buck in three years or shot at one because I know the damage other's are going to do on the land. Its a good time during season but then afterwards its like "Wow I just spent 100's of dollars and countless time in the woods to have 9 days ruin most of it.
