Aldeer.com Forums Alabama Deer Talk Quality Deer Management Throw n Mow Q&A

I can't say that I have never used the fish hydrolosate product and I have no doubt that they would help but they are fairly low in analysis (4-2-2)

I can see where it would be a good product to use midway through the season but I doubt you could get a very good stand in your fields by applying this product alone at planting time.

Unless you were planning on going back and spraying it again every few weeks.

It would be interesting to put some in a backpack sprayer and spray a small section of a field say 30'x30' to see the difference.

Maybe an exclusion cage and camera on that area as well.

Seeds are sprouting tails this morning. It's just a matter of temps now. I think it'll go ahead and shoot up even with the cooler nights. I imagine that growth is gonna be a little slower than we're used to. I figure the deer are gonna hammer it when it starts sprouting. I may need to choot one 'em to send a message.

Checking mine today, planning on putting out fertilizer before the rain Sat. evening.

Same here in south alabama, seeds sprouting. My seed had sat in the ground a long time, the only seed that was already out was in the deep shad at the bottom of the hill.

Saw a few little sprouts myself. Just have to wait and see how thick it's gonna get

I didn't plant until Nov 25th, I could see some of my seeds busting but they hadn't starting with the sprouts yet. With no sunny weather and colder temps, how long until they get going? I feel like the gloomy weather and cooler temps will prevent them from growing at all this week

So far so good.........fingers still crossed that these cold temps don't get 'em.

What did you plant? Wheat,oats,rye???

oats,rye,wheat, crimson clover, white clover, red clover, radishes, turnips, and some other that was in a blend

I think you'll be fine with all the rain we're getting. My field just started really popping the ground today. We'll just have to see how this hard freeze is gonna effect us.

I agree, we just need some sunshine to get it going

Kinda cool…..this is one day’s growth from the same spot. C’mon sunshine!!!!

I use Sea90 (with a few other things that I add to the mix)almost exclusively...there are some old threads on here where I explain what I'm using. I will see if I can find them.

Mine are looking about the same as yours CNC. I just hope the freeze doesn't kill them.

I’ve got a light tinge of green showing up across the field this morning. It’s gonna be real depressing if this hard freeze just zaps it all.

Man that is AWESOME! Haven't seen mine since Saturday but things were sprouting. Hoping for the best

Thanks!...We'll know in a couple days. I was looking at the hour by hour temps and it looks like we actually won't be down into hard freeze temps except for a few hours Friday morning. I'm optimistic.

Is there ever a "Too Late" to plant winter rye? I know some of yall hate the stuff, but I need some serious erosion control around a lake on some property I just bought.

Tooth, nobody hates winter rye which is a grain. It is the annual and perennial ryegrass that most people hate. Erosion control is one thing, I just don't personally want it or fescue in my food plot seed.

Deer have been eating fescue at our place. It was the first thing to green up. Plots are sprouting in areas. I guess the dove and turkey didn't get all of it.
