I planted Sunday morning and put down fertilizer also. Looking for a velvet green food plot in a couple of weeks if it all plays out.

I mowed all the open areas around my tower blind in a young county creek bottom. Did a thick throw and grow of my own mix on Tuesday evening and it's been raining off and on ever since. Forage radish, turnips, oats, wheat, rye grass, crimson clover, Austrian winter peas, and for good measure a few grocery store bags of black eye peas. I checked the ground on the way to the stand this evening. The ground is saturated with a lot of standing water. Some of the seed is already coming up thick, especially the turnips and radishes. The rest should not be far behind. I already killed my buck yesterday, but I predict I will have the best looking kill plot I have had in years anyway.

We got 1" or so in Jacksboro. I broadcasted 50# fall deer mix from Collin County seed in a third of an acre. Raining next couple of days so we'll see. Fingers crossed! Some should come up and will be good for Thanksgiving Break when my daughter comes and my dad is coming in town for Christmas

I planted Rye and Crimson Clover on October 12 on dry ground and no rain until Wednesday evening. Out there on Saturday and have some clover popping up all over and even some rye! We have had a little over 2" in Northeast Texas (Marion Couunty)

I planted oats/peas in this patch October 5 when it was bone dry, but was able to run a sprinkler to get them started thanks to a newly found irrigation line I was able to utilze. Here how it looks now, after also getting last weeks rains:

Over an inch today at the lease and they’re forecasting another over 5 in by tomorrow. I’m planning on going Monday morning. May find one of the feeder pens inaccessible.

1.8" earlier today, this'll get my wheat up. Hopefully more tonight, it's close.

Really coming down right now. I planted and fertilized late September. Last week was my first moisture. Looks like it’s still ok, starting to come up. Tried Triticale this year, and oats. 12 acres.

Neighbor about 1/2 mile from me has a weather station. It shows that he got 3.8 inches South of Bowie. My place is on a high hill and I generally get about 65% of what he gets. I’ll take it.
Without a sense of urgency, nothing ever happens.

I ended up with a little over 6" from yesterday and last night. I'm just SW of Breckenridge.
