Well I finally have something worth posting. The plots took a while to get established. They are still not as nice as I was hoping but the deer are using tem so I guess they are doing the job. The large plot is more grss than clover. We have put Arrest down twice and it...

Wes, everything looks great! Here's a picture of my plot, the quality is horrible because I left my camera at home and had to take the picture with my cell phone. I wish I would have gotten more action photos like you did. The rain should really help the plots! I couldn't believe the difference in temperature up there though... it was 47 in Manistee County yesterday and 80 in Oakland County.

Keep me posted on how your plots do. I hope to go back up in a 2 or 3 weeks and will take more pictures. (hopefully of a field that's turning green) For anyone that's like me and new to food plotting I highly recommend Outfitters Choice. Not just because it's a great mix but because of the resources you have available on this site to help you grow your plot successfully. I can't thank Troy Waterman enough for all the guidance he provided me. I am extremely confident that my plot is going to be great. Best of luck to everyone with your planting!

Most of the plots we put it had been planted in the past. We did put in a new 1/2 acre plot that the pictures didn't come out. That plot we ended up going down the road and getting my brother in law's, grandpas tractor and disc. We have a pull behind disc for the atv ( not sure of the brand), but that wasn't busting the new ground up well.
We drug the seed with a heavy fence. I hope that got the seed set in enough to keep it there, it seemed to be okay after the rain. I have my fingers crossed. I will be up there next week. I am excited for the results, and hopefully I will have some pictures of a nice plot to show you guys.

You guys worked up the ground really nice and it looks great. It was a great day to be Outdoors and excellent working weather.

Did you guys cultipack the seed before it rained? AGAIN your plots look great.

Nice job there with that ATV. I would like to know if the plots were there and worked up last year? I guess they were from
the nice job you did. I find that New ground and sod take a lot more work to get the way you show in your pictures.
It looks like you have a nice food plot in progress and are well on your way to a good season if we keep getting the rain we
have been getting.
I got to till up a few of mine Thrusday and they dried out nice Friday with 77+ degree temps. Then the rains came Saturday
and I will have to real till in a few days after they dry. I bought a real nice "Linebach" disc and it was worth the big bucks
that it cost. Its made in America too. Most everything at Tractor supply is imported!
I really like your plot between the pines. That will be sweet for a bow stand . Good luck

Here are a few pics of us putting in our Outfitters Choice. We ended up with about 1 1/4 acres. These were from my phone camera I have a few more on actual camera card I need to download. We put them in on Fri and had a torential rain fall on Sat and Sun. I hope that didn't wash all the seed out.
