Hunting Club Member Food Plottin' for 2006!

300 lbs of iron and clay cowpea's have been planted in two areas on the Reed Ranch - in the big food plot and in the redbird patch. About 10-12 total acres have been planted. Thanks to everybody for all your work on this. Both JimmyG and James with their labor and equipment - along with Terry's support - helped with this. Thanks fellers! All we need now is some of God's good RAIN! Lotsa good forage for those big bucks to eat - and even better body condition for the doe's as they raise their young 'uns

Here's some photo's taken while the planting was goin' on. More photo's will be taken and shared as the plants are coming up. The deer are gonna love it!
