My wheat and oat plot is looking a lot better after last weeks drizzle. The first picture is the 10 acre plot.[ATTACH]467259[/ATTACH] The second picture is of my 2 acre buck forage oat plot that is getting grazed pretty heavily. [ATTACH]467265[/ATTACH]
The protein feeder isn't getting hit as hard as I anticipated, but I am switching to red chain 17% next week. [ATTACH]467266[/ATTACH]
The lake is low but still holding water. There were 3 gadwall on it this morning. Ill probably build a duck blind next month on it. [ATTACH]467267[/ATTACH]
This tank is very low. We need more rain bad![ATTACH]467268[/ATTACH]
Im going to be back out this coming week to bring out protein and plant about an acre of milo, so ill update again then.
Unless you have a cage on your plots you have no idea how much they are eating. I would say drought is keeping short.
I've got a general question for you Sippy and the rest of the guys whom are implementing food plots, supplemental feeding, and other "herd management" practices. How are y'all going about making your decisions, are you utilizing your local extension agency? researching the internet? trial and error?

i think a little bit of all the above. i am meeting with with county wildlife biologist on april 2 to help with some habitata management stuff, they will meet with you and look at your place for free.

I practice what I learn in class and what i hear from biologist. Some of this includes internet research.
I haven't dealt with any of the extension agencies so far.
Wednesday i stopped by Gorman Milling on the way to get 1000# or corn and 1000# of 17% protein. Good prices and nice people there, and the feed looks good.
The Boss Buck went up with ease but the hole in the top is pretty dang small and you have to guide the bag into it and pour it pretty slow or you will end up with $10 on the ground pretty quick.
This morning we saw 5 doe and 3 bucks but no hogs. I plowed the acre or so where I was planning on planting milo but it was a brick. After 2 cuts with the chisel plow and 4 cuts with the disk the clods are still the size of softballs. The soil temperature is right for planting but I am going to have to wait for some moisture just to plow it, so I should be planting after the next rain.
Filled all the feeders and put out 2 Trophy Rocks at the feeders we call the "Hog" and "Griffin Road." I also put a camera at the "Hog" because that is where the most action seems to be. It will be like christmas morning when I get to check it next week.
