I am trying this blend that LSU puts out. Its called buck busters. 30% wheat, 30% rye, 30% oats. Has winter peas and several clovers in it. 50# plants a acre.

I'm in a club north of Longville. Anybody else hunts this area?

I don't hunt your area but buck busters has worked great for me in the past. Go with 100 pounds of 13-13-13 per sack and you should see good results. We have experimented with different plots and we see the deer utilizing this plot way better than the other blends.

Maybe 8 years ago. This is our 7th season and we only have two members. There are a couple of leases around the other curve south of the church. We are north. They are big leases with numerous members. Tough hunting in our area. Confident that we have the wildest deer in North America.

I have family on two of them. Good deer just alot of people. That is why we found our own property to have to ourselves. Got tired of all the arguments and miscommunication. We aren't great at what we do but we can do whatever we want. lol

Im killing another big boy this year. This one needs a partner to hang with. This deer was shot if I remember correctly 4 years ago, and he was 5. His lil children should be running around my lease and looking like a elk. Hopefully I get em.

I plan on buying a camera next weekend actually. We have plenty of does. Bucks seem to be harder to come by. I plan to just hunt creeks and bottoms this year. Then again that big boy was shot on a fire lane, but it just seems logical! lol

Ya'll need to pop as many does as you can. Bucks have no need to travel if you have to many does. Thin the does then you will see more bucks.

Fool where is your lease at? I'm 4 miles north of the longville store.

Sorry late reply the deer in my avaitar green scored 125 but officially havent got him real scored until he comes bck from taxidermy. Hunted that deer for 3 years have pics from when he was a 5 point. I am interested in this LSU blend. I still will plant my birdseed plots on field edges for bow season but lack of rain killin me. I have plenty oaks I can hunt so thats always a good place. I hate puttin too much rye cause it has little benefit for deer .

Rain forcast is 40 to 60% for Fri. - Sun. for south Louisiana.

Just know that if plentiful food is available, they wont utilize a food plot to its maximum

[Duck Butter]

Leave the corn and food plots to the 'waiters'. Drought years produce many acorns, be mobile. If you HAVE to do something, fertilize your vines: honeysuckle, dewberry, blackberry, rattan, grapevines. If you absolutely HAVE to get on a tractor and do something, mow out thru the woods, it will set back the woody growth and allow new growth deer really like.

Whoever said Jackson Parish was DRY ain't lyin! Man, most the trees in N La are looking really poor

Well looks like no one is planting this weekend with close to 10 inches of rain coming

[meathauler]

Just planted 4 plots n put out lots of line n fert. Hoping for 3 inches of rain

Going to try it tomorrow afternoon or Sunday morning. We don't need much....just bust the soil open and plant. With this rain it will grow.
