Default RE: Winter plot update & deer pics

Thanks guys,

Strmchzr -

The camera is a cheapo - Stealth. I've got alot of pictures on it - sometime I'll do just a thread on Buck pictures from 2004. My biggest complaint is Film developing costs, and the batteries cannot handle ZERO degrees very well. Sure I get some bummer pics too, but I think most of us do.

Terry - This spring will be pretty much more of the same - though I think I'm trying some brassicas - spring planted - and also July planted. I also plan to broadcast Rye/clover into some of the soybeans at the end of August next year.

Ron -

The deer are eating the standing corn, in fact it seems to be the main course. I still think more than 1/2 is still there - I'll be surprised if it all gets ate this year - there sure was alot of it. We are getting lots of use, but its been mostly mild compared to the last couple winters - and the roving hoards of yarding deer havent passed through this year. We probably have 15-20 deer working over the plots pretty heavy.

There are still alot of apples to be had - even with the snow the deer are digging for them big time, and the green plots (clover, rye) are getting some decent use.
