One of my favorites is to take a quart of pure maple syrup in a saucepan and add as much Frank’s Red Hot as you desire. Cool it down until it’s to about the thickness of paint and then paint it on the Ribs about 30-40 minutes before they’re done so it glazes on. Sweet heat at its finest. Sometimes I crank the grill up to 500 at the end and use the heat to set it up more so it’s not as messy to eat.
Yes, I sure did. I have tried several places without much luck. I am hopeful that maybe someone here knows of some lesser known places to check out for parts.
count me in please!
I think so, I suppose its all about the suspense!
If the grasses are the big issue, have you considered spraying a grass herbicide that won’t harm the clover? If you use a lesser rate of a glyphosate (roundup) you could still run the risk of having some kill in your plot.
I spray the grasses in my clover/brassica plots if needed with clethodim (commonly marketed as Select Max, Intesity and others) Here is a link to a label for Intensity http://www.cdms.net/LDat/ld7LN003.pdf
It is labeled for clover and a wide array of other plants. I think I paid about $85 for the last gallon that I bought.
Of course if you have broadleaf weeds too, this won’t kill them.
I don’t see anything wrong with the roundup method, but didn’t know if you were aware of this option or not.

X2 sure wish it was July 1st already! 100 chances max is pretty good odds especially if you but more than one of those chances

Thats a tough one! Sorry to say, but you are probably going to have to fence an area off. One other thing to think about is that food plot dont necessarily have to be a large area, and they can be any shape you want. If you have even a 25 foot wide strip along the woods you could use that space for a plot. There are some things available that will grow on a lot less sunlight than say corn. Is there maybe a small open area within the woods somewhere?
I think that is the point. 
At least I chuckled at the “football not found” error

I normally get RR corn from the local coop, works great. The feed corn question just popped in my head – thanks for the answers….
Thanks again!
Glad to help, generally I take a lot more away from the site than I give back, but Seed Corn is one thing I know a fair bit about 
x2 on all of the above. It would be a waste of time. The main reason for this is that feed corn, although clean, is not handled anything like the way that seed corn is handled. The biggest difference is that the feed corn is dried with a lot of heat and seed corn is not. Heat kills the germ plain and simple. The other concern would be that even if it is for a plot it could technically be illegal to do this especially if the “feed corn” had any GMO corn in it. Its all about the owner of the germplasm and the traits getting their “royalty” off it.
Awesome info about sources to get a good bargain on plot corn. A bag of corn seed has 80,000 kernals and in my plots I plant it at about 26,000 per acre max depending on the soil type where I am at. This gives me 3 acres per bag, so even if a guy has to pay normal retail price for a bag of RR corn, it’s not really expensive per acre.
Just my .02 Good luck
I have the Tru-Fire Edge Foldback and like it a lot. The fold back feature allows me to fold it back to wear a glove if needed. Being able to fold it back allows a lot more flexibility IMO. It is nice to get it out of the way and be able to move around without it being in the way. It is by far not the most expensive release out there, but for me it gets the job done…I can wear gloves when it is cold out, and it is super quick to get on the string.
I haven’t used the Burris 6500, but have used a couple other Burris models, and I really like them A lot!! Good Luck!
here all this time I thought you were talking about antlers when you said they haven’t dropped yet….this pic makes it obvious that you clearly were not.
SO, in your opinion, has this little guy dropped yet?
Thanks Guys It’s been a little while since I have had time to get on here…Been working a lot lately, Birthday was mostly un-eventful as I worked 15.5 hrs for it. Thank goodness the weekend is here!
hmmm, not sure what to think..I do know that it is tough to beat the battery life of some of the other cams out there. While I like high quality pics, I am not really willing to fork out all that much money for batteries!
The guy says the trigger speed is faster..wow, didn’t think they could get much faster that they already were
you can always buy a cape and have a shoulder mount done
Nice pics…the one in pic 4 that is further back looks to be a pretty tall one? Good luck with the sheds!

Your right G, it is all volunteer work. I wouldnt call unless you are going to have it officially scored and ENTER the critter into the book. If you just want to see what it scores, print out a score sheet and call a few buddies. Nothing better than scoring a buck and having a few beers with the boys.
I agree with Dennis have a buddy or two give you a hand if you haven’t already done so. For an archery buck, The Pope and Young instuctions/score sheet can be printed right off of the P&Y website. If he is big enough to make the book, it might be kinda interesting to do it yourself and then see how close you are when you get it done officially! Good Luck!!
Great topic! It reminds me to get busy with mine! I like q-tips for gettong in the hard to reach places and i guess i havent really thought about scent free cleaners, but could a guy use a mild water and scent free soap combo if scent control is a concern?
Also, I dont want to hijack your post, but what about strings and cables? What do you do to.maintain them?
Thanks Brad! I like your saying, I am excited to see the smaller one I passed on next year. I have pics of him from after muzzleloader season, so he survived all the guns and there is very little bow pressure in the area late season. It will be rewarding if he is around next year to see the growth especially since he was a lot of potential with the nice shape and the long tines!
I did manage to take two mature does during gun season, so I didn’t get completely skunked.
Bob,
I have been making venison snack sticks with the Cabela’s Terriyaki snack stick kit. It is 24.99 reg and goes on sale sometimes for 19.99. It comes with enough seasoning for 25lbs of meat and also with the casings.
I make them in 25lb batches using the optional amount of pork that it lists on the package directions so they aren’t quite as dry.
For smoking them, I have just been using a walk-in cement block smoker that is about 4ft by 4ft outside dimension. I just light a fire with dry maple on the floor and let it smoke away. It is difficult to regulate the temp with what I have to work with, so I completely ignore the smoking directions and just smoke them till they are done. For whatever reason the finished product turns out tasting not at all like terriyaki and more like what most places would call a mild snack stick. A little smoke flavor and a whole lot of deliciousness.
I normally like to make stuff with more of my own recipe’s and experiment a little, but after the first time with the Cabelas kit I liked them and have been making them since! They also offer a few other flavors too like Pepporoni and Hot Sticks.
I’d say!! Wow, thats a lot of deer!
I will be shed hunting as well
Is it too much to ask for this blizzard to let up from about 2 until 530 tomorrow afternoon so that I can get out on the last day of the season?
Good Luck to all you guys who can still get out!!!
I couldn’t believe it when I saw it! If you look close through the trees in the first picture, you can see where the plot ends in the snow close to the top of the hill. That is how trampled this plot is, it is probably 250 yards from where I was sitting to the end of the plot. These pics where only from this one spot, there are several other entrance exit points that are just as well traveled.
I saw 8 deer tonight, 5 adults w/out antlers, 2 fawns and 1 small 6pt buck. The closest was a nice “doe” that I was drawn on at 50 yards as she was closing the gap…then she just turned around and went the other way…ugh I also pulled the card out of one camera and had quite a few starting at about 7:15 this morning and up until about 9:30am or so. The attached pics are a couple from the stand tonight, gotta love all those tracks heading to/from my plot!
Still waiting, but still nave high expectations after seeing how tore up my 2 acres of turnips are. It’s funny cuz standing on the hill above the.plot u can tell exactly where the plot is from all the tracks…and we got 8 inches of snow only 6 days.ago!
