Killed my old weed infested clover plot off, tilled it up and planted purple top turnips, also broadcasted a little whitetail institute pure attraction last weekend. Haven't had any rain and the little Fugger's are popping up!

I am in the same boat Chad. Been slammed with rain all spring. Dries out the last few weeks. I finally got onto my property with a skid loader and cleared out an area we had been dumping branches, clippings, junk fill dirt, etc. Got it cleaned out Thursday. Friday I decided I better seed it since it was all cleaned out and worked up. Now I am wondering if I will get anything to germinate. lmao
Oh well. It isn't really a "food plot". I will never hunt over it. It is more of a pet project and my attempt at aiding the wildlife on my property. Habitat management a little bit at a time on a very small scale. Not to kill a deer. Simply to feel good about helping the herd a little here and a little there.

What was good today? How about grilling up some BBQ drummies while brewing my first home brew.
It was nice to wake up this morning mow the lawn and just do something I've been wanting to do for some time.

Congrats J!!!! Where was the tourney? I knew a guy that fished the Redman Tourney down here in Cincy quite a bit back in the late 90's early 2000's and he and his buddy usually placed in the top 3-4.
Good stuff Steve! How'd your brew turn out and did you name it yet?

Well here she is, a 10 year old huffy I bought off my uncle for $30 that he only road once. This bad boy right here is going to get me down the path too my stand in almost complete silence. While the deer are out in the fields eating in the wee hours of the morning, I'll be slipping in the back door!
Good deal Chad.... You making a rack for your bow??? I've heard of people doing it but haven't known anyone first hand so looking forward too the updates on how it works....

Awesome stuff! I Bowhunted off a bike for a few years in Texas. Any bow/gun holders that mount to four wheeler handlebars will work on a bike. Paper boy type saddle bags can hold gear without needing bungee cords. Invest in a can or two of fix-a-flat or slime your tires. Keep in mind that mud will impede your journey. Have fun brother, it can be a blast!

I moved on to a mountain type bike that was more suitable to rough terrain the next year. Modern headlights are a plus. I started oiling the bike's gears with vegetable oil for scent control. (a bit anal back then) I also would ride to my stand in cotton work out clothes and change when I got off the bike. You will work up a sweat while peddling out. Dry socks are a good idea to change into if your feet get cold easily.
First time in a few years that bike hunting has caught my attention. Good luck and keep us updated, I'll be watching.
