This is not meant to create an argument or debate (although some may view it that way and try to slant it in that direction) - we have 5 plots that total about 8 acres.
We also have roughly a mile or so of various breaks, cut through roads and “snake trails”.
All are clover and wheat / oats.
The warmer soil temps and rain / sun have really caused these plots to take off and they are feeding the deer well.
Deer look healthy. Should have good fawn delivery success. They have less winter stress. The fact that it helps the bucks recover from the stress of the rut is not overlooked by us either!
We also have about 4 new acres cut in to lime and plant this year.
If we get it all done in 2018, we will be approaching 6% of the land in tillable.
This is on a decent sized 240 acre tract with no agriculture and a seasonal creek.
They are in the fields most afternoons, Lord knows what they are doing at night....
These pics are from late Jan / early Feb when the plots were really mown down.
We are commmited to doing everything we can to help increase the health of the herd!
Best of luck in 2018!
