This is video of some of our food plots when they were 7 to 10 days old. They are looking good but we need steady rain especially for the corn. I do not know how farmers do it for a living. It stresses me out and we are just planting for wildlife not our livelihood.

I live by this saying, “If I am not hunting, then I am getting ready to go hunting.” The past few days we have been planting our spring/summer food plots. We are planting 14 acres of a mixture of soybeans, iron and clay peas, and sunflowers; 5 acres of field corn, 2 acres of lablab, and 1 acre of aeschynomene. I have posted a video of my harrowing up the ground. It always feels good to get some dirt under your nails and accomplish something fruitful. Now we pray for RAIN.

While hunting on our club in Georgia a few days ago, I stumbled upon a nesting hen. She flew from her nest and about jacked my jaw when she got up in the air. I was literally one step from stepping on her. Once I got my composure back, I got my video camera and filmed her nest. She had 11 eggs. Notice in the video how she has them nestled in the surrounding brush. Hopefully, the predators will not find her nest and we can add some more turkeys to our drove.
