Beans are Up!

[Ted Summey]

Here is a picture of the food plot I planted a couple of weeks ago. These are forage soybeans and will grow to 5 to 7 feet tall!

You might be able to make out the double fence on the left side. There are tons of deer and turkey tracks outside the fence. It must be working!

That's a fairly large food plot. All you need now is to set up your tree stand when Season opens.

Just to the left of where I took the photo are a 6'x8' box stand and a 20' two man ladder stand. This location has accounted for 5 or more deer the last few seasons. Last year it produced two large 8 pointers during archery season and the year before it produced a 205 pound nine point during muzzleloader season! I've lost count of the number of does taken here.

I put soybean, sunflower and eqyptian wheat seed in the ground last Thursday. We were supposed to get some nice rains Friday and Saturday, but that did not happen. Now not much in the forecast. I hope the seed stay covered well until we get some moisture. This is my first time with beans.

I planted my food plots two weeks ago but havent' been back up to check on them yet. With the cold last night (was 37 in Lburg) I hope it didn't frost!

We had frost warnings last night too. Fortunately my plots are on the ridges for the most part. My house sits at or near the same elevation as the the plots and I didn't see any frost here this morning!

That would be an expensive food plot if the frost ruined it!
