@Mace_22 thank you! Don't know if you saw video from last year's TN hunt, but I passed on some good deer and came home empty handed....really didn't want a repeat!!

@ yeah I wouldn’t either lol

@@MonsterBucks1451 thank you!

@@novi2000 right! Slowly coming together. Got a REAL good plan for spring and summer!

@MonsterBucks1451 looks like there's something going on, on his front left elbow. Can't tell if that's blood like from a wound or what. I hope you're right! Primo hasn't been around in MONTHS, no idea what happened to him...would hate to have anything happen to this guy!!

@@VanceVenisonOutdoors I see what your talking about now. Possibly someone tried to launch and arrow at him and hit his leg or possibility he hit a fence post and it could have stabbed him there. I have seen deer get injured here before just because a fence was up.

​@MonsterBucks1451 that's probably not out of the question. Just off camera to the right about 15-20 yards away is the property line and that's the direction they come from quite often. There's a 4 or 5 foot barb wire fence that my neighbor put up last year....maybe he got nicked coming over it??????

@@VanceVenisonOutdoors Yeah very possible. If you get a chance look along that fence and see if you find any hair or skin on the wire.

@novi2000 man, I hope he's good. They're ridiculously tough, so hopefully he heals on up. I'm just curious as to what happened. Had him on cam on the 18th and he was good...23rd came up limping. Looks like something up around his front left elbow. Don't know if its an abrasion, wound.....?? Stay tuned......

@karlhall9561 agreed. A few of those aren't ones I've seen b4 and don't recall seeing them last year. So theyre probably cruisers from all around. Next fall is my target to start hunting the property. I'm curious to see how/if any improve with 2 years of improved nutrition. That area is really limited in natural food. No food plots anywhere so until last year, they were getting by with what they had and....corn piles in the fall and winter (hunting season). Will be interesting to see if better year round food source makes a difference in size and quality (body and racks). Thanks for checkin us out bro!! I'm already organizing and getting ready to start packing!! Less than 2 weeks we'll be in the woods bro!!!!!! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

@MonsterBucks1451 I'd had never heard of that but looking at it, it makes perfect sense!!! Thanks for the tip!

@@MonsterBucks1451 it's super tough! I feel like I'm headed in right direction though. Got new soil tests back and know exactly what I need to do. I'm actually kind of surprised the plots have done this well considering how bad the soil is. I want to go in direction of no till, but I have to be honest in saying that the plots are nowhere near ready for that. They never got off to the proper start. January will be an overhaul for me. I plan on doing it the right way. Mowing down all the milo, adding the reconnected fertilizer and amendments, and using a disc to actually incorporate everything into the soil the way it should be. Luckily here in the South winter is rather forgiving so it will be oats, fixation balansa clover, and crimson clover in Jan. I would like to see it take over the last part of winter and grow pretty good once spring rolls around. I feel like then I will have a better situation going into summer and fall. Thank you and stay tuned, as you know, it never ends!!!

@MonsterBucks1451 thank you!!!! I'm still gonna hold out to 2025, it's hard, but that's always been the plan. Plots should be good and the deer I first started seeing in '22 will be 3 yrs older! Haven't seen my bit 8 point "Primo" in a long time. Around the time he disappeared this guy started showing up. Hopefully he (and others) will pass thru once rut picks up!!!

@@VanceVenisonOutdoors That's a very good move on your part! Stick with it! Temptation is the the down fall of most peoples hunting plans. You will get you some really nice deer soon.

@novi2000 I know man, I have one more real update I need to get uploaded. Then it'll just be game cam stuff til January or so. I haven't seen Primo in months, my guy here Adonis has been hanging around though. Crazy thing..at the end you can see him making a scrape. This is a camera I had over a mock scrape I created that was rarely used, and apparently got blown down in Helene. The camera is set up right over the one I'd made. The one he's making is JUST off camera to the right. Where he's headed is where I see my 2 year old and yearling bucks and all the does enter into this food plot. I'd venture to say there's a community scrape there that they hit before going into plot. Since they come from other direction though....I never see it. Great thing is the scrape is across from my blind about 20-30 yds and about 20-30 yds from the tree where my stand will be. Now if I could get some of this activity during the day...I'm in the money!!! I think it'll pick up as temps drop and rut starts to roll in!!

@craigbranstrom4749 sometimes it works out that way...

@novi2000 fuuuullllly activated!! Haha. So funny u mentioned the drone, I was actually about to upgrade, but I didn't because this is the last video on property til probably late winter/early spring. I'll prob just wait til I'm back out on the farm doing more filming to get it. It'll all make sense in the next few weeks as the next few videos drop...

@@novi2000 💯!!!!!!

@MonsterBucks1451 thank you!!! This whole process is teaching me to manage my expectations and making me exercise PATIENCE!!! I appreciate you, thanks for checkin us out!!!

@steveporteroutdoorsohio4739 I appreciate you!!!! This is quite the journey, but teaching me SO much in the process!! Hopefully something here will be helpful to someone else! Thanks for checking us out, stay tuned!!!

@@VanceVenisonOutdoors I know the feeling bud!! And I absolutely will and good luck this season!

@MonsterBucks1451 thank you, Sir!! This summer was SO DRY!! Not really what I needed for already subpar soil! Still lots to do, stay tuned!!!

@novi2000 haha, man trying!!! Stay tuned, lol bit of a plot twist to come...

@novi2000 yeah man, I actually have one on the edge of the other plot where they come in from the woods. If they continue to hit this one I will probably leave it be as it's serving it's purpose. The other one is/has been dead. Very little activity so I will freshen that one for sure. I have to remember that all the changes are still relatively new for the deer too, it may take some time still...

@MonsterBucks1451 thank you! Gotta be honest, I almost abandoned my plan to wait until 2025 and thought about going after him this year!! They will all be nice in the future! Food plots are starting turn around should be good food to keep them healthy!! Stay tuned, those updates are coming soon! Thanks for checking us out!!!!

Thank you! Very encouraging! This summer is brutal!! The chicory came up decent and they seem to be on it pretty good. Really hoping to get some rain though to get the WGF Milo/sunflowers/buckwheat out of the ground!

Actually, it was your boron video that made me circle back and re-examine that 1st sample, noting that ALL my micros were terribly low! I actually applied Anderson's HumiChar, which is supposed to have humic acid and biochar in it, to both sides last year. I wasn't sure of the application rate though, so this helps a lot. I only applied about half of the rate you suggested. I will definitely hit that again in the near future! Thanks for checking us out and for the suggestions!! It is definitely a journey indeed!!!

I have a question to run by you. I'm going to do summer plantings here in a few days. Going to broadcast black oil sunflower, buckwheat and some soybeans. My deer population is pretty low, so not terribly worried about them wiping the beans out. Of they do, I'll live. My question though, this will not be my fall planting. For fall I plan to broadcast into the sunflower, beans, buckwheat and mow afterwards (don't have a crimper). In this instance, will mowing kill the beans? I'm in the south, so long growing seasons and plan to mow/plant for fall in September. Just wondering if beans will grow back and have any presence at all in the fall?...

@@VanceVenisonOutdoors most likely it will kill your beans especially once they start to flower or make pods. Your probably get a few to comeback but it will be a low percentage unless you mow them up has high has possible. For me I just broadcast right into the beans and leave them standing but that option forces me to use higher amounts of seed but it works for me at least.

@MonsterBucks1451 ok. I really don't want to leave the buckwheat and sunflower standing thru fall into winter. Maybe I'll just hold off on beans and make them part of the fall planting? So when I mow/terminate the buckwheat and sunflowers beans won't be affected..September planting still leaves some time for warm weather down here....

@@VanceVenisonOutdoors when is your first frost typically happen?

Yesssss indeed!! 2025 still target date, ha, it's getting hard to fight temptation and get out this fall!! Gotta hold off though! 😬😬😬😬😬

Thank you!!!!!!!!

Thank you!

Come such a long way. I'm so impatient, but I have to 1) manage my expectations and 2) constantly remind myself that this is the 1st full year! This fall will be 1 complete prep/growing season!

Thank you!

Had no idea what I was getting myself into! But it's fun to get out there....and really good to see the progress!

Thank you!

@novi2000 Chris over at Old South Forestery Mulching is surgical with that thing! It's been nothing but a pleasure to work with him and I've had nothing but great results!! We are currently working on a bedding project to bolster the deer bedding and habitat for other game as well (turkeys, rabbits, etc).

Thank you. Sometimes my lack of patience gets the best of me and I have to remind myself that this is year #1 still!!!!

😂😂😂

Thank you!!

HAHAHAHHAAHA!!!! I just realized!!!! 😂😂😂😂

@novi2000 I actually found that using a drag harrow was much more effective. This soil is SUPER sandy and there are tons of pine seeds and other stuff in it. Using the harrow keeps me from losing so much moisture and depending on which side I use I can incorporate fertilizer, lime etc without worrying about bringing dormant, unwanted stuff to the surface...or just lightly cover seeds after planting. That little tiller is actually spot on!! If all those roots and vines weren't everywhere that little thing would have crushed it! It was just a pain in the butt having to stop and cut them off or unwind them..

@novi2000 right!! And of course 20/20 hindsight says I should've!

@novi2000 I have been amazed at how much progress I made in the last 12 months! I have all of the footage, hardest part is posting it in order because I'm so anxious for everyone to see what it has become! Stick with me you won't be disappointed! Thanks for checking me out, appreciate the comment!
