I planted one of my fields on sep 8. I had natural summer growth that had not been cut or sprayed all year. I spread my seed and fertilizer, then mowed everything down. We got rain from the hurricane on Monday sep 11. I checked fields yesterday Friday sep 15 and almost every seed I found has a 3 inch chute on it. I am beyond excited to have so much growth this early, I should have some consistent deer traffic in there by the time youth opener rolls around for my son. I have been managing this place for 4 years, 2nd year throw n mow. I keep year round minerals and this one food plot, I hunt it only during opening season, rut, or when I take a friend to hunt. I have pictures now of 7 different bucks using this field. 3 shooters, and 1 that is exceptional for the area. Hard work pays off.
