Mowed down Shot Plot!!!!!!

Here is a picture of one of our Shot Plot plots. This field was 24 inches high before the first frost and now it looks like this. I wish I was there to see the deer that ate all those stems.(LOL) The stems are only about 3 or 4 inches high now.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!! You should some how set a trail camera up with a 2x4 on th edge of the cotton field if you have a camera. That is really awesome & it gets me excited because my shot plot is starting to get hit pretty hard. Plus the night time temps will be falling into the teens this weekend.

Good pic!!!!!

Still hoping they will hit my winter plots like that Martin. At this point now though I am just wondering if there are any deer left around to hit them

LOL..No cotton here. That field behind the plot is 4 foot tall golden rod.

Can not wait to see all the plots you and your dad made for the deer and turkeys

**dogdoc** · 12-08-2006, 07:58 PM

hard to beat a good brassica mix for the winter. looks like your deer are eating well.

We sure hope so. This brings our year-round plan full circle. Up here deer have a tough time some winters finding good nutrition. Last year the deer were into the turnips in February. They are also located where the deer aren't pressured to move alot wasting valuable energy. With our snowfall depths of over 300" per year average, we try to provide good nutrition with a balance of low stress. There is also an abundant supply of natural browse nearby.
