    Ag beans and brassicas if you want food for deer hunting season. My land is in North Central Wisconsin. Limited ag around me and it is all harvested by early October. I plant 3 acres of ag beans and 3 acres of brassicas, there still is some there for late bow season. I have a fairly high deer population. The 1st time that my son and I bow hunted in late October we saw a total of 58 deer.

    Get yourself a boot dryer. Put your boots on dryer after each time that you use them. This will prevent the odor. Now that the odor is in them use a scent eliminating soap and wash the inside of them out and let them dry.

    As the above poster said. Bear have very poor eye sight but will catch a sudden movement. Any camo will work. Sit still and be quiet.

    Big Pike pretty much summed it up. Really clear lake making it tough to fish walleye during day time. There is a bite just at dark into the evening. There are a couple reefs that hold fish. You can get into Van Vliet from Presque Isle. Van Vliet has a daytime bite.

    Grouse I planted Eagle beans for 2 years in a row when they 1st came on to the scene. Loved the way that they could take the deer browse. With my land being in North central Wisconsin and not having a real long growing season, I never got the Eagle beans to make pods. They would get to the flowering stage but than the heavy frosts would come and kill them. This would leave me no pods for late season hunting. My conclusion was that Eagle beans are a great summer food source but not so good for producing pods for late season hunting. Hope you guys have better luck than I had.

    I always plant a mix of clovers. In my mix I have Ladino, White Dutch, Alsike and Medium Red. Each variety shines under different growing conditions and different heights This gives me the most out of my clover plots. I also mix some chicory as this grows well in the dry summer months and deer hammer it.

    If it would be with the additional info that you supplied I would wait a little until the farmers have all their soybeans in and are popping out. Then I would plant soybeans. This will take some of the deer browse pressure off your plot. Also when the farmers harvest their beans, the deer will move onto your beans. Nothing like standing beans for drawing deer in during gun season and late bow season.

    A general location to where you are going to plant food plots would be helpful. As far as to late to plant it depends what you are planting and your location. Yes you can lime and plant the same weekend. It will take a while for the lime to start working. I will be planting soybeans Memorial weekend. My land is located in North Central Wisconsin.

    I suspect the contacts on card were not making a good contact. Try cleaning the contacts with a pencil eraser.

    I used my Employee discount coupon today. Bought mostly clothing items with only one being Cabelas brand. My wife bought Under Armour and Columbia branded clothes. Averaged almost 30% discount. Well worth the trip.

    I have the Terrova I-Pilot link that was installed by dealer on my new Alumacraft in June of 2016 The spot lock works flawlessly. I have yet to drop an anchor since I got the new boat. I guess I got lucky and got a good one.

    Trailcam sensors need to sense both heat and motion to activate camera to take a picture. In spring and fall the temps are cooler but during the day branches and grass absorb the heat of the day causing a temperature difference. When this happens and the wind moves the grass or branch it senses it and triggers camera. By the same token in the summer when it gets really hot and you have camera in shaded area pointed out to sunny area it can cause false signals when something moves in front of camera.
