I think I'm addicted to my food plot.
 

I'm constantly checking on it, hoping for Rain, thanking God when we get the Rain, buying more seed for areas that have been washed out and are thin....basically I think about the plot in some way everyday, ways to improve it, create more areas, etc.

Whats the cure for this ?

There's no cure - You plant more plots - and spread out your time between them - at least you'll feel less obsessive.

I feel the same way brother!

It only gets worst!:D Soon you will want to do more in the way of land management to help the wildlife. Thinning of selective, unproductive trees to make way for oaks, etc. Then you will start to plant various hard and soft mast trees, then build water holes and then and then then then then then..... All the while having fun and feeling good about what you have accomplished. Keep it up!;)

PL, you need to have the "Five Year Plan". That way you can work toward a goal and not obsess about one small part. It also breaks up your expenses.
So what do you want your property to be 10 years from now? Apples? Then you have to plant them now. Oaks? Plant them now. Think about what you will want and implement it slowly.

Now you know how a farmer feels, only his lively hood depends on whether it rains or not. I am in the same boat, I become obsessed with my plots.

I'm addicted too thanks to these guys. Here's mine from when I hung my treestands. The clover is awesome and the buckwheat was being hammered by the deer. I haven't bothered it in 3 weeks and I can't wait to sit over it this next Saturday.


Oh, and look, caught a couple bucks in there as well. :D

I've been doing all I can to improve the property for wildlife. We planted an orchard with apple, cherry, plum, persimmon, blackberry, elderberry, hazelnut, chokeberry, pawpaw, sumac, ten trees of each species. I put in a 1/2 acre lake, I've been doing what I can to help the mast trees in the forest by killing competing trees, and will be fertilizing the mast trees, etc. Next big project is a 1 acre wetlands. I love it!
