A good day today!

After the first rains in early November we disced and rotoriled the upper and lower food plots to open the ground for moisture and then waited for a couple of good rains which ended last week. Today we planted 500 pounds of winter wheat along with 200 pounds of milo and prosso milet for next falls bird feed.

We put this lower food plot into winter wheat and the upper food plot was planted half in winter wheat and half in milo and prosso millet.

The good news is, as I was getting the mail (which contained a decoy from Yukon Mike, thanks again Mike that's a neat 1/2 a GE!) my neighbor walked down to get his mail and he asked me what I was planting? I told him some wheat and milo to feed the ducks, geese and doves next fall. He said that's good, you feed them and get them fat before you eat them. He said that if I wanted more bird feed he'd would put his lower pasture into the same and he'd pay for it. I told him fine, I'll order the grain for him. All he asked for was a couple venison steats and a fat mallard to cook-up for his X-mas dinner. The fat greenhead mallard was shot 20 minutes ago on the big pond down by the barn.....it's going over to my neighbors as soon as I get it cleaned and plucked. He'll laugh his ass off when I give him the mallard so soon, he is a great guy and loves to see my get game even if he only fishes.

Now I have to get my neighbor on the other side to let me put in winter wheat and milo on their 70 acres next to us. Then I can start seriously thinking about raising a couple hundred pheasants a year with that kind of feed around.

A good day.

Neighbor on the other side??? What's that..like 20 miles? "Dave Parkes" Blackfoot for " "Whiteman who fall in shit stand up smelling like flower"
 
Hey Sherie my friend, it may seem like a "life of riley" but it took me a lot of years and some good luck to get here :^)

When you are young, it seems like there's plenty of time, but when you are looking at the fall leaves dropping off your shoulders you tend to start getting things done a little faster before you run out of energy or time.

Like the young guy said on the camo commercial awhile back, "the Lord only gives you so many sun rises and I ain't going to miss one".
