marsh knobs

feeds@kickapps.com (aulee42) — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:38:23 PST

Last spring i put a food plot in about a half acre in size. nothing big but something to slow deer down as they go through my property. Well my question is where i have the food plot there are these knobs that you would see in a marsh that everyone rolls there ankles on when walkig through. well last spring i tried using a big walk behind tiller. using a spring tooth with weight added to it and i cant seem to bust up those knobs. I dont know if i were to use a Disk Harrow if that would work. I dont think it will Next option is renting a roto tiller for the skid steer and trying that to break them up. Has anybody else run into this problem.

The plot isnt in a wetland area it stays farily dry so driving a skid steer wouldnt be to much of a problem. OR a tractor if i could find one to rent

Created some Bedding areas & "BEDS" for the Deer

feeds@kickapps.com (Troy9) — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 22:25:44 PST

Cut some Cedars & ash down about 3 weeks ago. Got the majority of them to fall in a V shape pattern. This area is about 75 yards into the woods off the edge of a clearcut. One of the area's that I will be hunting is about 150 yds downwind of this location and I will have a foodplot near the edge of the woods next to a 4 yr old clearcut. Will get pics of that in the spring.

Here are some pics and the deer were already bedding in or near the structure we made. Of course they were eating the fallen cedars but this should be a bedding area that get's used frequently and help hold deer near the location I want to hunt. Still have work to do and I am encouraged by the activity already.

Just planted on August 15 (Outfitter's Choice Fall Foodplot)

feeds@kickapps.com (Troy9) — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 18:54:59 PST

This plot is a week old and just got some pics when I was back up on weekend. This plot is already covered in green and is an inch or more high with the start of the turnip leaves. The Buck Forage Oats and tritacale is already exploding as well. I am going up in 2 weeks and will get some close up pics once everything is FULL and filled in. I am more than pleased with the plant development already and will continue to get pics and update's.

Imperial Whitetail Extreme seeds

feeds@kickapps.com (Salomnie) — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 16:53:57 PST

I put down some Imperial Whittail Extreme seeds spred on thin and I'm impressed with the growth, the Clover is 25" tall as of July 6th and the rest of plants are tall and thick too.
I didn't even condition or test the soil, just wanted to try the mix. I recommend it as a quality food flot mix.

ATV Disc- Need Advice

feeds@kickapps.com (tommym21) — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 10:20:19 PST

Hey guys,

I am looking to buy some sort of ATV implement to put my fall plots in. I can't afford to spend a lot of money on one though. I see tractor supply sells one and it's only $500 bucks, if you get it at the store. It's made by King Kutter. (see picture) I have read quite a few reviews online about it and people have mixed feelings. Everyone that likes it says they have added weight to it, which I think I could come up with a slick idea to add weight.. I'll explain if I decide to buy..

The one thing I really don't like about it is that it's only 33 in. wide. Could take a LONG time to work up two acres..

Anyways, what if anything have you guys heard about this product? Any and all feedback is welcomed!

Thanks.

I'm starting the work on some fall Food area's

There is some pictures of some of our work on some fall food plots. Some are as large, but most are smaller. 8 in new total

Switch grass screen

feeds@kickapps.com (Chinwisker) — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 22:12:11 PST

Today I tilled up and planted a 400' x4' switch grass screen. The paticular grass was the Nebraska 28 switch grass. It will act as a thick screen on the edge of the forest
next to my food plots.
Since the edge of the new plot was so bare of any cover I thought it would provide a good screen for the deer and some easy bedding also. I expect it to grow to 6 to 7 feet tall by Sept.
It is not a big food source more a cover for easy entrance to and from the plot to give the deer as sence of security.
We expect a few showers the next few days ,so I hope that will get it started!! WIll post some pictures soon.
Later "Chinwisker"

In between the rain drops

feeds@kickapps.com (Chinwisker) — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 22:50:59 PST

Well I was lucky enough to get this job put in between the rain drops at the beginning of June. It was a large job and had a lot of clay
around the pond . I also created a new plot behind the pond which took most of the time.

Actully it took close to 18 hrs including travel time to do the job

When the pond was dug all the clay was layed around the edges of the pond. It made for some hard work for my tractor!!
This Yanmar 2210 is a strong little diesel and can get in to tight spots since it is only 46" wide!!

New foodplot

feeds@kickapps.com (brown its down) — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 18:53:23 PST

Just finished putting in about a 1 acre foodplot for a fellow MOAB member, he would have had it done earlier but he got screwed over by someone who talks a good line of shit but didn't come through!! Anybody else out there get screwed this spring?? Well here is a couple pics of the new plot, will post more through the season as it starts to grow.

To do foodplots you need to have the right equipment!! I borrowed this tractor and it did a sweet job on this field.

Anyone heard of this fertilizing method?

feeds@kickapps.com (tommym21) — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 16:18:49 PST

I was having a casual conversation with my Father about his garden and how he gets it to grow so good every year. Apparently, he has one of his buddies that works at a really good golf course bring him loads of grass clipings from the fairways and works it in the ground. He said that the grass has lots of fertilizer in it and is great for the soil. One, has anyone else ever heard of this? Second, if this does work, would it be a good idea for us to use with our food plots and just work it in the soil?
