2024 Deer Season

[greg]

It looks like Slim's stand could be a little bit short but blinds 4' or more off of the ground are not required to have orange at all.

Exactly… and it only has to be visible on all sides there is no set distance it has to be visible at.Some people put the orange at bottom.

 

[Michigan Slim]

That orange doesn’t have to be that high on house to meet the regulations it could be on the bottom but it’s your choice.

I let it fade out. It is marking paint, not meant to last. It was more to announce the blind to the neighbors from a distance.

Well broadcasted clover turnips and radishes this morning hoping for some rain we will see. I buy the seed from RK when it goes on clearance so not a huge loss

Just shy of four feet. I'll be raising it properly though so I can see over a little rise just a bit better. I can see deer there but a yote got by me.

I have mowed my lawn through November a few times. Once on December 3rd. (my brothers b-day, so I remember). That would give you some grow time.

More than once I've seen radish seeds over winter during a dry fall only to sprout vigorously in the spring. As long as nothing consumes the seeds and they don't get buried too deeply, they'll eventually germinate.

That won’t do my food plot much good for this season lol but I will take whatever I can get. Minimal effort was put in after my round up sprayer blew up and covered me in it….. I despise chemicals….. and never use them but I had it laying around figured I’d try it immediately regretted that

No, but think of all of the radishes you will have next spring and you may not even have to share them with the deer! In all seriousness, you probably won't get much growth unless we get significant rain soon but they will probably sprout.

I planted clover here and in Michigan. No rain on either plot yet.

A Hunting friend 1 mile south of my spot said he got 1 1/2 " of rain last night. Thats great. I just hope I got the same. He did find a long dead doe in his pond too.

Trying to set up my backup bow (compound).
Looking for a release no longer made.
Fletcher 3D shorty or Flathead.

There is a place making a copy for almost twice what they used to sell for LOL.

front yard is slightly wet from this morning, backyard where I burned and casted seed is still dry. gotta love it.

ha! As I was typing that, I look out and see sprinkles coming down back there.

 

[tcecil88]

I finally get a weekend to get down to the Farm and hang a couple lock-on stands and check trails and ladder stands this weekend. It's gonna be hot, but I gotta get it done. I will get a few cameras out too.

 

[Hookeye]

Got my backup compound set up and finally shot it today.
I didn't go crazy w accessories.
Its usable.
However, I still prefer a Ripcord rest to a QAD, an HHA sight, Ktech 5" stabilizer w Mathews S coil and a Fletchunter shorty release
The last two items (fletchunter and K tech) no longer made.
So I'll run it as is til I find those items, then do a total upgrade.
