Hey everyone I was out working on my food plot today and thought I would post up to see how many other GCN's are doing the same?......
I get my food plot seed from backyard wildlife "rackstacker.ca" Steve is a great guy and knows his stuff for sure. His seed is more expensive then the run of the mill stuff you get from the co-op but you get what you pay for 100%. I picked up 25lbs of his super-buck blend that has 5 kinds of Clovers, Birds foot Trefoil, Chicory, Brassicas and Winter Turnips.
I had a friend come in with a tractor and disc up 2.5acres of old hay field the field is surrounded on the east and west by pine plantation "bedding areas". On the north end there is hard woods and a funnel then to the south is a fence line and then corn. So the field is secluded to give those big bucks a good sense of security
.
So today I made up a drag using some chain link fence and a couple cedar fence posts hooked it up to my Polaris 6x6 and went to work leveling out the mounds left from the discs. About 2 hrs later that was all done and looks pretty good I might add. I went to hook up my seed spreader to the quad and noticed it was broken and TSC was closed so that was the end of that.
Making the best of my situation I got out the chain saw and started clearing the south fence line. The reason I'm doing this is I'm building a new stand about 200yds south of the food plot in some huge maples that give me a great view of the whole plot during rifle season and I can sneak in and out undetected.
My plans for tomorrow are to replace my seed spreader then fertilize and seed the field I will also continue clearing the fence line.
I am going to take some photos and put them up tomorrow night so stay tuned.
Oh and rackstacker is doing a plot demo on the 29th in Ashton and june 13th in Roslin Ontario.
