It is time to start thinking about planting a Spring plot for your deer. Of course it might help to have some R-A-I-N first
I have a little bit of Lab-Lab left from last year. I might put it in with some millet and milo for the pheasant. I worked up the ground the other day. Just waiting on a good forecast for rain.
Dennis - Why don't you wash your truck or car near the foodplot. Hey, it might work. I am desperate for rain. I am investigating the cost of an electric irrigation pump to irrigate the food plots from the Deep Fork River.
Hope for rain. Looks like Saturday we might get a shower. I have a creek bottom that I hope to plant 25 pounds of Alfalfa on. Maybe some corn or milo as well.
WTG guys!!! The deer will thank you.
If we dont get lots of rain soon, next deer season I wont have to make jerky. The deer will already be dehydrated.
LOL, You got that right!! I was planning on putting in a summer crop for my kids but w/o irrigation or rain its futile. I am still putting out a little corn and the deer are coming up during the night. Yesterday I sprayed a small plot with Clothedium and crop oil to eliminate the grass buildup. This can be sprayed on clover or alfalfa and it will not effect the clover or alf. It just kills the grass. Takes about 3 weeks to see results. I spray it on my vegetable garden to eliminate the bermuda grass and other noxious grass. It does not effect the vegs. Rain safe in 4 hrs.
SE/Okla has been getting timely rains, 2.25" in the last week. I need to spray my fields down there to knock out the rye.
Deer are hitting the mineral heavy right now and will until mid to late July.

It has been soooooooo dry I have advised people to hold off planting a summer crop for fear evrything would not make it out of the ground. I may start feeding protein pellets early to my deer that are stressed. I pray the rain pattern gets back to normal so I can still plant.
We have had enough moisture, I think, that I am going to quickly plant a summer crop of soybeans, black oil sunflowers, lab lab, and some wild game food sorghum. This will grow into a jungle which the deer will bed in and feed. They love all this food that matures at different times during the summer. Pray for more rain.
