I think its just his personality.....

Lots of folks agree with you Tdog. Some folks just can't help being a peckerhead.

Goat killer, I agree with the consensus. Dickhead. I'm 61 and have been planting food plots since the early 90s, before it was a big thing and we have always planted after labor day before the first significant rain event, which typically coincides with a hurricane. Plant with rain in the forecast, 2-3 days of rain, not by the calendar. Every bag of seed says plant sept-nov, 30 days before first frost. Deer are browsing on our plots now. That's why we plant them, to feed deer.

We’re going plant next week, whether it’s in the powder or mud. Doesn’t matter to us. We just plant them to say we plant them. When you put corn out by the drum loads under the security lights, food plots never really come to mind.

There are ways to relay thoughts, information, and opinions to others WITHOUT sounding like a know it all prick. Goat Killer has not mastered that aspect of communication. Either that or he simply chooses not to persue it.

I’ve gathered he puts great effort into the way he responds. I’ve not ever seen one single post where he wasn’t condescending and everybody who don’t do life like me is an idiot attitude.

He’s just one of those people that were born knowing everything about everything and is real happy to let everyone know he knows everything about everything. Just ask and he will tell you. I have to restrain myself because I could have lots of fun with him but I was always taught to respect my elders. Even when he tries to tell a retired farmer of 35yrs that he has no idea about anything to do with farming. I just read and laugh. Life to short to bother with people like that. I deal with enough people in my job now that I don’t let much bother me anymore. Sometimes he does share some really good knowledge and wisdom which I’m sure he is a wealth of, but just has a bad way of getting it out their.

To answer the OP's question, I'm looking at the last week of October . Before if we get a good rain in the forecast. Retirement has it's advantages .

BTW, I'm not jumping in the ring with Goatkiller, AKA Mr. Knowitall tonight, looks like y'all already got a TKO.

Ive planted some that are doing well now. Ill plant some more before it rains again. I live where im planting mine though. No more that a 5min tractor ride to any of them. If you have to travel to your hunting spot, i reckon you plant when you can.

Meanwhile………

Nice!

Looks like you got yours in the right window. I got two 1/2 ac experimental throw and mow plots in just before we got .5 inch a little over and they are doing great. Wish I had done more. The rest is tilled and ready to go. I will probably give it another week to really dry up enough not to kick off germination, plant and wait. Does not look like any real rain chance here the rest of the month.

Yeah we hit it right. Started Sept 18 and those fields have had 10+ inches on them. The ones I planted 7 days after our last rain are up 3-4”. Drilling them into the moisture is a game changer on germination and survival in these drier conditions. No rain anywhere in sight.

Matt, your fields are looking great. Mine are too. We planted around the same time.

Lucky dog ,I doubt we've had 10" of rain since May .

got it done this weekend just need some rain!!

I think y'all may have hurt Goatkiller's feelings on this one and run him off.......

Nah. That's the response he was wanting.

No regrets here on planting right before the Hurricane.

nice bpi
