Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer. My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

I think that the huge mast crop last year, saved the lives of a lot of bucks in AL. Wouldn't hurt for it to happen again this year. More the better, IMO. 1 member likes this: rhino21

There seems to be a lot more bucks in the 3-5 year old age class this year so far.

All the deer I am getting on camera this year look healthier compared to years past. I am sure all this rain and green around is helping.

"Why do you ask"? Too many people spend money they don't have , on things they don't need, to impress people they don't know.

Why is that? They often receive additional resources that woods trees don’t and they generally have larger crowns with less competition.

How long did it take for them to start producing? Mine are in full sun and I keep them watered, fertilized and weed free but they are only 3 years old. Just trying to get a ballpark idea

What diameter and height were your trees when they started producing TurkeyJoe?
