Food Plots React to Non-Stop Rain

I had a lot going on so I took a chance and planted my food plots in the last days of July – a bit early but rain was predicted and fell some 9 hours later.  Now, we’ve had non-stop rain for three days and the brassicas are singing my song.  In the top photo, you can see the turnips and rape emerging.

QDMA Special Brassica Mix

In the lower photo, I planted a brassica mix and clover into a stand of alfalfa.  The alfalfa remained after an early-spring spraying with glyphosate (RoundUp).  After that, I just ran a disk across it a few times and over-seeded followed by cultipacking.

Alfalfa stand with over-seeded brassicas and clover

Total acreage planted this fall was about 6.5.  These plots feed the wildlife year-round, with a mix of perennials and annuals.  The worse the December weather, the better the late-season deer hunting.  The foliage on the turnips and rape stays green well into December – even under the snow, when all the farmers have picked their crops.  After that, the deer feast on the turnips themselves.  If enough are planted, some will rot in the spring and subsequently go back to the earth as nutrients for the next planting.
Lots of work, lots of fertilizer and lime ($) and seed but it’s worth it to me when the snow is on.

Obama’s Second-Term Gun Control Plans

GW:  You knew it was coming and now the Dems are out of the closet.  At the service for the dead victims of yet another “gun-free zone” attack in Wisconsin, Attorney General, Holder had to slip in his gun-control thoughts about needing more gun laws.  Another page from their playbook to cease the moment during a crisis.  More on what lies ahead given an Obama second term from the Washington Times here…

Don’t lose your kids

J. Wayne Fears’ Latest Outdoor Book

 

Each day in the United States, over 2000 children get lost, some in the woods, some in malls. Most lost child situations last only a few terrifying minutes until the child is found; others may take hours or days. The Center to Prevent Lost Children states that 7 out of 10 children will get lost at least once and that less than 9% of parents are prepared for a lost child situation. In his new e-book entitled LOST-PROOF  YOUR CHILD survival expert J. Wayne Fears prepares parents and child caregivers of children how to prevent losing a child and what to do if it happens. He teaches:

* How to lost-proof children in any situation from a shopping mall to thewilderness and everything in between. * How to create a plan that will keep your child from becoming lost.

* How to teach children what to do if they become lost. * What steps you should take if your child becomes lost.

* How to deal with childrenproperly when they are found Read more

DNR, MDARD update Michigan’s plan for managing chronic wasting disease

GW:  The revisions in the newly modified CWD response plan are focused more on affected areas, rather than the broad, far-reaching actions in the previous plan – no doubt resulting from hunter outrage.  But, now, if neighboring states are found with CWD, Michigan’s plan may swing into action.

The Natural Resources Commission adopted changes to chronic wasting disease baiting and feeding regulations, as outlined in the state’s newly revised CWD response plan, at its regular monthly meeting Thursday in Lansing. Read more

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) continue to work together to assess the current status of bighead and silver carp within western Lake Erie bays and select tributaries.

HumaneWatch and HSUS at Conference

HumaneWatch was in sunny San Diego last weekend at the 2012 American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Convention. We had an exhibit booth in the main hall along with a plethora of companies promoting products to a few thousand veterinarians who attended the event. And to stir things up a bit, a Humane Society of the United States group had a booth, too.

AVMA Convention

It didn’t take long for our first visitor to stop by and say a kind word. It was an exhibitor, a few minutes before the hall opened on Saturday. He was from the veterinary technician field and said his company worked with a lot of hands-on local shelter, and was already “in the know” about the confusion between the Humane Society of the U.S. and local shelters and how little HSUS gives to shelters.

We figured it would be a fairly friendly crowd, but it definitely exceeded our expectations. Read more
