I think in those situations when you are physically about spent, your concentration becomes more acute. It is a huge rush of relief mixed with a good amount of satisfaction folding a rooster with a tough shot in those conditions. Been there before also.

Touch my avatar or name, the mini bio shows-up....NW

Just 6# 2-4D, 1 pint per acre....now if they could modify grain sorghum to be round-up ready....

Finished spraying the plots today. Took a pic of the plot I left yesterday, if you zoom-in, the left side you can see the velvet leaves, but on the right side (where I sprayed yesterday), they are all rolled and wilted. In this plot, there were a lot of places with no sorghum. I will feed...

I sprayed about 4 acres of food plot this afternoon, saw one chick and he was small, but got airborne! Hope to spray the remaining tomorrow, winds, should be much calmer.

We had been very short on moisture in my pocket, but the last 3 weeks or so has changed this. Getting dumped on during the hatch, but I am guessing we will be just fine. On a positive note, the 3rd planting in the food plots is growing fast. Just need to get them sprayed, will try to do that...

That could be on the market for a while. I scanned the description, it mentioned "white oaks". This property is within 80 miles of me, I have never seen a native white oak here, everything is burr oaks, but maybe??? This is right outside Sioux Falls (a lot of businesses home base there), so...

That is a lot of coin for something with very limited income potential. Hardly big enough to get several guys to share it. As Weim says "seriously wealthy" as the ROI is the satisfaction you get from being there.....on your short quarter. Even a seriously wealthy guy is doubtful unless it is...

I think these food plots are the reason for the number of birds we have. Without the food plots, the winter food would be an issue...well, it kind of is already, even with food plots, I just need to make them more productive and harvest more roosters.

Next spring I will give things a early shot of round-up. I have the grasses encroaching and several patches of Canadian thistle through out. Also will try the Avipel, it will be cheaper and easy to buy and apply that, than planting 3 times and then feeding a couple hundred gallons of shelled corn.

Well, the plots might have a chance. I replanted all of them in our CRP twice and the the ones closest to the switchgrass 3 times. Got 2 inches of rain around Father's Day and should have received another shot today. Now I need a windows where I can spray 24D. I started spreading shelled...

$5,850/acre, included a cabin. That seems more than steep, I hope that "cabin" is a nice home. Chad, I hope this isn't yours or something you are trying to sell. I seriously assumed that rough (non-tillable) ground in SD MIGHT be a couple thousand an acre now.

I think we mowed 3 times the first year and once the second, but ours wasn't a pollinator mix. You know, those seeds was harvested the prior year and were likely stored in outside (non-climate controlled) storage. There will be new seeds germinating for the first few years. A fun project!

If it is pheasant season and there are some extremely late hatched "roosters", they will have a harder time surviving the coming winter than those older (bigger/stronger) birds. I will generally harvest or attempt to harvest, the first 3 roosters I can.

If things keep happening over there, I hope you have similar issues in a few years!

Seed corn, maybe they smell the seed treatment, as I have seen where they dig seed out right after planting and I see where they dig the plant up, eat the seed and leave the plant laying there. The only thing I am certain of, is that a record number of roosters will be harvested from this farm...

Reach-out this fall, I am not far from Sioux City, it might be a further drive than you want for a limit of roosters.

I have about 6 acres on that farm, I only did the 3rd replant on about 3 acres. I had an old boy in the nursing home tell me that back in the 30s, the county gave the farmers shotgun shells to shoot the pheasants as they were so thick they would dig up the corn seed....kind of what I am...

I saw chicks yesterday and today in different places. My food plots are a disaster as the birds are eating the the seeds from the ground, corn and sorghum. I replanted for the last time today. A week ago I started spreading shelled corn inside a hedgerow about a quarter mile long that is...

That looks like a joke, photo shopped, is what I am hoping.
