    Food Plots Crimson clover

    I use .75 oz cleth, and .65 oz surfactant per gallon of water. Works good for me, but it takes at least 2 weeks to really start to show the kill. Grass will be gone in a month. It works slow, but it works.

    Food Plots Crimson clover

    Clethodim for the grass. Won't hurt the clover.

    Advice on frozen sets

    I lightly spray the trap bed with 3 parts water, 1 part propylene glycol. Place trap, sift some dirt, light spray, bed trap solid, spray, final pack dirt, light spray. I also mix half peat moss with the dirt. I caught a coyote last night with 0 temp and under 4 inches of snow. It works!

    Big buck tonight- bad shot

    If you still need a tracker with a dog, Jake Pimental (931-619-3098) found an otherwise impossible one for me in Rutherford a couple years ago.

    Food Plots Plant or Wait

    We got nothing last night in south Rutherford county. Except for a few low, shady spots, my plots look like beach sand. Tough year, again!

    Food Plots Planting too soon after spraying clethodim?

    I have some grassy patches in perennial clover (Durana) plots that I'm planning to top sow wheat and cereal rye into. I want to spray them now with clethodim to knock out the grass, but can't find out if there's a wait time to plant due to any residual effects of the clethodim. I've read 0...

    Black locust sprouts

    Last year, I got great advice on here about killing locust by basal bark spraying triclopyr with diesel (thanks Boll Weevil). It killed all the trees I sprayed, but now there's dozens of knee to waist high sprouts coming up around the dead trees. Is there anything I can foliar spray now to...

    Finding dove shoots?

    I think the legal liability is a big factor. You can do everything perfect, but if someone gets hurt, you're hiring a lawyer to protect yourself. Win or lose, you still lose.

    Food Plots Dye in gly

    I was never able to see where I sprayed. Even tried triple the recommended dose. Very useful for hack and squirt, but not spraying.

    Looking forward to August squirrels

    I always go. I grew up in ancient times when many areas had few or no deer. Opening day of the small game season was a real big deal! Everyone went. Now the focus is on deer hunting, which I love, but small game is still special.

    Speaking of Bonnie

    I noticed the same thing in the big box stores this season. Mostly single pots for close to 5 bucks. Very few 6 packs like years past.

    Odd trail-camera data

    My observations exactly the same as JCDEERMAN. I always wondered why 2 1/2 + bucks hardly spent any time at all in my food plots, even at night. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one. I do get plenty of videos of better bucks at salt licks in the woods.
