Take Two: Plot Demo Weekend

Didn't post anything since June.  June was a bad month.  Blew lots of time and money trying to demo the plots before they were ready.  It took a while to get over that and get ready to try again.  Well I'm glad to report I tried again last weekend and it went great.  Here's a short list of what all got done.

Slice North got cleared, leveled, fertilized, and planted.


Slice South got cleared, leveled, fertilized and planted.  



Trails got cleaned up.  I pushed the tag alder brush back far enough, that shit shouldn't bother me for a few years now.

Also made my trails passable for the truck.  Didn't realize how big a deal this was until I was done.  It then dawned on me that I could drive the truck all the way back to the south plot.  That is going to accelerate the pace at which I can get stuff done.  




I got the dirt to fill in those ruts from a water hole I dug nearby.  It worked fairly well, but I'll have to keep working on this because the soft spots will probably keep rutting, hopefully just not as bad as before.

I was out on the property the whole time, and the deer were in there inspecting one hour after I drove out of there.  I could swear the boss doe just follows me around to see what I'm doing.
