what kind of crop is this

[KneeKnocker]

I killed one of the biggest 8 points I ever shot eating cotton. When their soft, they will eat it. It also is said to keep the bugs down on hot days. I know they lay around in cotton fields more than most think. I will take a cotton field to beans any day for big bucks.

Seen a many of them riding on the high boy spraying.

I agree. It seems that it took some time for this to happen over the years. When many farmers quit planting beans and corn, the deer started eating cotton more. I have seen some big bucks in it quite a bit. It provides alot of cover, shade, a break from bugs, and they eat it too. You might be suprised at what will pop up from a cotton field right before dark!

[turfgrass]

Soy Beans!!

[Mergie Master]

Kudzu!

Naw....it's soybeans.

[Professor]

Cotton, no hunting over that

Actually, cotton fields are a good place to hunt doves. Most cotton fields are pretty clean and doves like clean dirt, and most cotton fields have the weed, Crotan (Coffee Weed), growing in them. Doves will fly over a sunflower field to get to Crotan.

Professor - Crotan? I have heard Sicklepod (its real name) called coffeeweed since I was a kid, but never crotan. I'm not that far from you, and I've never heard of that name.

[Catdaddy]

Coffeeweed and Sicklepod are often confused. Coffeeweed is Sesbania and Sicklepod is..uh, Sicklepod.


Crotan is a different plant than either.

[SaltMuck]

Possibly in your part of the world. I have always heard people call Sicklepod coffeeweed. Coffeeweed(the real one)/Hemp sesbania are similar, but I dont know much about either. Sounds like one confusing mess.

Sorry didnt mean to hijack the post.

Germination to cotyledon stage looks similar to sicklepod.

That stuff is bad news. I have seen several one-eyed water headed copper mocassins in that stuff.

Thanks for all the help. BTW, the land is around Cameron/Holly Hill. Countin the days to AUG.15th.

[Dakota's Day]

Hunt the peanuts.

[mhogancu]

Dakota's Day,....you know my ass will be in those peanuts on the 15th.... hows your property looking these days?

[turfgrass]

Hunt the peanuts.

deer body weight and antler mass have both increased substantially over the past few years in O'burg county since peanuts became so popular to farm

[Dakota's Day]

Not to good right now. Too much rain (never thought I would say that). Our four wheel drive tractors were even bogging down. Then our cabins got broken into which set us back even more. We don't usually get cranked up to hunt until October. I will take the bow a few times but that is about it until October. So we still have some time to get it right.
