[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3747853, member: 5412"] Went to the farms today to do some work for this coming fall deer season. The clover patch on one wooded area I call the 22 acre patch in the middle of an agriculture section is getting close to it's 5 year life span with some bare areas last season, so took three pounds of Ladino Clover seed to overseed the entire 1/3 acre food plot. The ground was damp so the roller pressed the seed into the soil. 100% chance of rain tomorrow so hopefully will get some germination. This spot has a resident population of a dozen does. Bucks just visit when the need to breed arises but never stay around. The blind which is great for archery in early season isn't so good for MZ or Rifle when the typical wind changes from south to north later in the season. The blind is North of the feeder so any wind from that direction spoils the food plot if a human is in the blind. I have a 15' tall tripod stand that hasn't been sat in for many years so thought I could cut down several of the Osage Orange trees on the West side to install that tripod blind that would open up Rifle and MZ season if the wind was right. More options. Remind me next time to wear long sleeves, hat and long pants with boots vs shorts, t shirt and tennis shoes when working with hedge. By the time 6 trees were cut down i was bleeding like a stuck hog from all the thorns in the arm, and head. I need to cut more but that hedge wood is so hard that the chain saw went dull pretty quick and will need the tractor/front loader to push some brush around to allow more cutting. Used some Tordon RTU on the stumps to kill them so they don't resprout. Get back in there next week to move the brush and cut a few more trees. Might need to take the small generator so I can sharpen the saw blade with a Dremel attachment. [/QUOTE]
