[QUOTE="tellico4x4, post: 5436700, member: 2474"] Worst conditions in 20 years for me. July drought put clover dormant, rain in Aug got it going again & Sept drought had it looking like a desert... Spent more on herbicide this year than ever & most look like they've not been sprayedat all. Planted 20 annual plots on 9/8-10 & some are still hanging on & others not so much. Have 12 that have been disked & cultipacked for 3 weeks just waiting on rain before seeding. Haven't spread a pound of fert yet. Don't even want to think about how much $ so far & afraid that I get to do it all over again in Oct IF we get rain. Probably just overseed all with wheat or rye & run cultipacker over it IF we have immenant rain in forecast. There is not a single nut on our 3500 acres. I hunted 3 afternoons this week & couldn't believe the number of squirrels on ground searching for last year's nuts & already cutting pine cones. Afraid it's the perfect storm & gonna be a tough winter for our wildlife. One 2 acre clover plot that has a lot of shade & has done pretty well considering, has been decimated in the past two weeks. Had 20+- deer on it every day this summer & they've finally overwhelmed it the past 10 days, might be 1/4'" tall now. Last time we had these conditions was 2018 or 19 and bucks were dropping antlers by Christmas. What was also strange is that the 3 afternoons I hunted this week I saw 13 bucks, 6 does & 6 fawns. 6 of the bucks were 3-1/2+ and four of older ones were still in a bachelor group. That's just flat weird for us, usually plots are doe meccas for us in early fall. [/QUOTE]
