Yep. We had a 1/4 inch rain at the lease yesterday and saw some on the ground today. Oh well. Nothing to do except dig in.

That’s cool. I have seen quite a few on our place between Onalaska and Groveton.

That place has always had the birds

Im excited about the acorns this year when in the past Ive cursed them. I put up a tree stand this year in a hickory tree over looking 7 mature water oaks creekside. Cleared a lot of brush under them early summer. Thats a lot of food falling from the sky.

Put a couple plots in this weekend. Chestnuts are coming on, need to try and propagate some from seed.




Quite a few bucks on camera, some nice youngsters with good upside (if they make it)

Ran all cameras and mock scrapes today as well as prepped several trees for saddle. Bought a whole box of 6” 3/8 bolts and set them for steps. Ain’t found main event…. Or kaboom.
I’ve got all of Lola’s shooters located but not anything I’d burn a tag on.

“Pin ball wizard” heavy 9pt (5.5)
“Copy cat” good framed buck with weak 3, and brows (5.5)
“Pabst” been a big browed 6 forever… now a 7 (5.5)

I’ll keep looking…. Pigs are in new feed pen everyday. Hog panels with protein feeder. Nothing on ground. Can’t have nice things. They are in 100% of my pens again

The first picture is this same time last year of a pipeline on our land. We used to lease it out for cattle grazing and they over grazed it per the photo above so we ended the lease with them. Because of the constant overgrazing we never had adequate grass for deer and other animals and our deer numbers seen per hunt reflected that. This year the rye grass has taken off and the deer are loving it. The second photo is from yesterday at the same location as the over grazed grass but now there is plenty of food and cover for them. The grass has gotten so tall and lush it’s growing up and falling over. Just crazy to see first hand how dictating the habitat for the better has largely increased the photos of deer we get and how many we see driving the property now.
