When I was a kid, we had lots of bull nettles on that sandy farm in Anderson Co. We always peed on the welts, it took the sting right out. Or, you could borrow some Copenhagen from your wife. Fresh chewed is best. That's what I use for wasp stings and such.

Lol, she only chews when she is cutting wood or welding.

Well, I checked on my peas in Trinity Co. today, and I'm a little disappointed in the growth. These peas have been planted at least three weeks and are definitely not doing as well as I think they should be. Maybe I'm expecting too much as it was pretty dry when I planted and didn't get much rain on them for several days after. They are up into the " deer can't destroy them " stage though.......I hope.

The new plot has some big patches of Pricklys in it. I got em kilt. I put the pics in order as I had first sprayed, then a pic at two weeks and now four weeks. At this stage they can be shredded or scraped as the life is gone and they wont come back. Got to git to the main root, then I will spray it and wait four weeks.

1 quart Remedy Ultra and 3 quarts diesel fuel. This mix will kill anything, be careful around trees and don't spray on windy days. Last edited by Radar; 07-20-2017 at 03:04 PM. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Not as much deer pressure on this plot at my house. The subflowers are actually starting to head out. You can see the ones that do get eaten get eaten all the way to the stalk. Just Milo and sunflowers over here Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

You killed that pear dead ! I wish I had some grapes. Seems like E Tex used to be covered in them when I was a kid, we ate them like candy, but I hardly ever see any now. I do have one mature mulberry tree on my Rusk Co. place, and it usually makes, but they're gone in a flash. Coons, squirrells, possums I suspect. What few hit the ground the deer and hogs vacuum up. I had a mix with flowers in it a couple years, but there was sorghum in it too, and the hogs wouldn't let it alone. I hate frickin hogs !

With the rain we have coming, (maybe), these should carry into at least August. This bottom is pretty wet natured and probably grows the best legumes of any plot I have.

With the extreme heat we have been getting, the sunflowers start to fade away. The partridge peas are kicking in now. Last edited by Radar; 07-20-2017 at 03:04 PM. |

Yes, we need rain here. 4 days of over a 100 degrees out of 7. Weather liar says pop up thunderstorms for the next 4 days. The peas are doing fine, but them old big sunflowers starting to droop.
Now you know why I plant in early March. I am sitting on tree stand now, and it's plumb miserable. |

Well we got plenty of rain and with the soil all loose brings in the hogs. I lost about two acres of plot to the hogs and will probably lose it all by the end July. Once the peas start getting pods the hogs will hammer them and destroy the soil. I have never had a summer plot make to August. I have been hearing good things about Sunn Hemp, so that maybe my next trial.
Them old hogs are smart they will start rooting in the middle of the fields to provide their selves cover.Attachment 859787 Last edited by Radar; 07-20-2017 at 03:04 PM. |

I've never had much rooting in my plots, thank goodness. That would just about send me over the top. I despise hogs as it is, and if they rooted my plots up, I'd be looking for some dynamite ! I'm glad you finally got rain Radar. |

![]() Either place would make a fine wheat plot for the fall, even though they're on my line, across the fence in both places is a jungle. Both neighbors clearcut, one about 7 years ago, the other 2 years ago. Nobody even hunts those properties now, so I wouldn't have a problem with a stand there, except I know the hogs would destroy them. |

I have a seed mix for this fall I got from El gato. I really think Sunn Hemp will be my next trial for next year. This time of the year is bad for hogs in my area and my biologist has told me several times that it is an epidemic. There was a write up in the local paper about how the local creeks have tested positive for E-Coli and was traced back to the hogs.
I would say once the water is contaminated through out the state, things will change. |

I don't believe I have ever seen IC peas grow this tall. We don't have a heavy deer density on this place, but with the recent timber harvest and these food plots, I think we will see more and more deer in the years ahead. When I got on this lease, we had about three different bucks on camera until the rut, then we got a few different bucks but they didn't hang out long. We got very few pics of does. I think it was the browse and cover, or lack of it. Lots of pine trees and very little browse or thick cover. The timber was thinned on part of it in 2016 and some more this year. Next year the rest of it will probably be thinned. We're lucky in that this property can be cut when others are too wet, so they've thinned both times in late winter/early spring. I've not even pointed an arrow at a deer here yet, but it's close to the house and my best friend and his grown son both hunt here.
The peas: That's my bride, she's 5'7" ! You can see the peas eaten down in the foreground. As I was standing, there's a mineral block directly behind me. The deer are going straight to the peas from the block and vice versa. Last edited by Drycreek3189; 06-28-2017 at 12:15 PM. |

Yesterday I had about 6 acres of virgin ground plowed and planted with browntop millet. Hopefully it's ready for dove season as the timing is cutting it close.
Started as this.... ![]() Looks like this now... ![]() ![]() |

Dang Drycreek! Those peas are awesome! I should have re-tilled and re-planted the first of June. Native grasses took over my plots for the most part, but some stuff came up. The deer are in it every day. The strange thing is, I've got some millets and milo coming up from last years spring plot. I don't spray.

I think I might plant some forage oats, either from Buck Forage Oats or Whitetail Institute. It would at least be something different.

You might want to plant some milo if you don't have too many hogs. Deer will eat the heads when they get ripe. Good for doves too. I'm not too sure about the timing on that though, as I've only planted it in a spring mix.

You weren't worried about hitting any fawns?
And would it not be more advantageous to leave it nutrition wise as opposed to killing the entire plot? |
