Last year I put in two 1/4 acre size food plots. Both were put in the woods after I made a clearing. I tilled the land and put down and organic 3-3-3 fertilizer. My soil pH was 6.7 so I figured there was no reason to put down lime. In one plot I put down clover and in the other I put down brassicas. Both plots took off right away and did very well. The clover plot grew well all season, but eventually the brassicas stopped growing turning yellow and crimson in color. I wanted to see what you guys thought. My only guess is that I did not put down enough fertilizer and the brassicas "starved." I want to get my food plots right this next year. Any suggestions or help? Someone needs to right a book on "Food Plots for Dummies". (There was pleanty of water! Water was not the issue)

Deer sightings have been down this year. This is our second year on the land so I do not have much to go by. What I can tell you is that last year we saw a ton of deer. This year it seems like there are less around.

it is roughly 9 miles south of hillman. Right by a place called "Gutvolds Corner" (spelling?)

here is the video from my trail cam.

Here is a cougar from my trail cam.

Here is the cougar video from my trial cam. click on the link.

I have land by hillman,mn and just had cougar video on my trail cam. Anyone else have cougar sitings in that area?

The more I use trail cams the more I love them. Not only did I have a cougar on the cam from this weekend I also had a neighbor on the trail cam who was trespassing. Anybody advise confronting the neighbor with him bird hunting on video? What an one-who-thinks-I-am-silly. If you're going to trespass...at least make sure you're not on video!

Just had a cougar walk by my trail cam from this weekend. It was the middle of the day... Looked to be a younger cougar. This got me thinking...if its a younger cougar odds are it didn't wander far distances on its own. Hopefully there is not some breeding going on in my woods... Makes you think twice about walking in the woods when it is completely dark... The land is located by hillman, mn
