August deer pics

Well, been a while since I have posted. I have been in KY on a mission trip and in the U.P. of Michigan on vacation, so now it is time to get caught up on outdoor stuff.

For the record, Luke caught a lot of pike and crappie in Michigan but I have no pics for that. That lil guy is a machine on the water. I will post some pics in the next few days of our trip. UPBC is a great place to be and we love it there.

On July 29th I borrowed a big mower from a friend and mowed down a food plot planted in clovers and chickory. It had gotten way out of hand and you really neeed to mow 3-4 times a year to keep the clover tender and fresh for the deer AND weed competition down. This plot had gotten shoulder high with weeds and needed mowed weeks ago. I did get it done and it looks great with clovers popping up like crazy.

August 10th, Bradley Clark and I planted a Winter blend of beets and turnips for our plot. Thanks to Bradley for doing a huge part of the work with the tiller. We planted about 1/8 acre or so and top-seeded some bare spots with clover. Now we just need some rain and everything should really take off.

The following pics are from some friends that have cams out. There are many guys seeing some nice bucks. This is a great time to get pics of deer as they are moving from food to cover and cover to food. Soon that will change but right now we are getting some good deer on cams.



Here is Ryan's pics from KY. What a hog!!
