I don't mean to jump in but I just started the food plot thing 2 years ago. Both of you have helped me out in your posts and I want to say thank you for that.

Jeff - I never did find the BFO until after I planted the regular ones. They are coming up good right now. I am already planning on another plot for next year and I will be getting the BFO by then. Actually the Gander Mountain here just got some. Too late for me this year. Do you think I could get a bag now and plant them next fall or should I wait and pick up a fresh bag next year?

Farm hunter - I got to looking at our place last weekend and I can see what you ment about the browse line. The plan we are working on will be to take 8 doe and 4 buck this fall. We do have a very large deer population and our deer do run small body size for WI. A big doe will field dress at 120.

I have come to think of managing deer and habitat and hunting to be the same thing. It has added a great deal to the overall experience. I don't think I could give it up either.

Thanks guys.
