[QUOTE="Deer Slayer, post: 1260454, member: 8855"] Good Lord it was hot this weekend. We had 103 degs. and even with a wet towel around my neck I got too hot and had to come in. We had deer watching us work with a chainsaw running. They were out about 25 - 40 yards depending on which group came thru. I had one watching me on the tractor at 25 yards in the heavy cover. This was during the heat of the day. My 1 acre clover plot was some what dormant because of the excessive heat and extended drought. The plot just needs to be sprayed with VOLUNTEER which is a selective herbicide that just kills grass and nothing else. This will knock out some crabgrass. I will then spray some BUTERAC which is a 2-4-D derivitive that is safe to spray on clover and alfalfa to kill the broadleafs. I will throw some fertilizer to it and then wait for rain. These 2 treatments are cheaper and less time consuming than completely redoing the plot and replanting. The two large 2 acre and 3 acre feeding plots will be sprayed with VOLUNTEER to kill the grass and wait for fall rains to see what comes out of dormancy. I may have to redo a couple of small spots within but it beats having to completely redo the plots. The last hunting plot will be planted in my Fall experimental seed mix. [/QUOTE]
