Pappy I've been enjoying your pictorial blog.  We seem to share a number of passions: food, bowyering, hunting.  Others no doubt, appretiate your descretion on posting pics of that!  LOL  Too late on the rain.  Growing season just about over.  First frost should be any day now.  Just makes everything muddy, although it will help my greens and rye in the food plots.  Has your clover field greened up?  One I hunt over was so parched I don't think I'll see any fall clover on it.  Like the width profile on Derrell's hickory bow.  Your carp skins turned out extra nice.

Yes we got some rain a week or so ago and my clover is nice and thick,my greens and oats are up but there is so little to eat as far as mass crop goes unless it grows faster they will eat it all up before it has a chance to get bigger.Seen 14 in one of the food plots last week and 7/8 in one
Friday.I have about 3 acers of greens and Oats spread around the place in about 1/2 acers spots.and 3 or 4 acers of clover that is doing well.I also have about 90 acers of cut corn fields
and the other 300 or so is all woods and thickets.The brouse is about all dried up so they are hitting the plots in force.They usually don't use them much until late winter,this year is a little different. :)

As always, the food looked great! I'm missing not getting in on much of that good eating here lately. Was hoping to run by with a deer Saturday night, but it didn't work out. Seems like the foodplots are really beginning to kick in. The buck I saw Saturday evening made three different scrapes around and in my plot.

Saw the hickory bow with carp skins, those skins look awesome! ;)

Pappy:  Love the leaf-blower pic. Sometimes "Anti-primitive" is the way to go.  Beats fanning it with your hat. 

Once again your Monday morning posts have made my day.

I did get a chance to make a few shavings this weekend.  I might be able to salvage the persimmon wood after all.

Same here on the food plots Pappy.  I had a big second growth of sunflowers, bushhogged for doves in August.  Deer were after them in a big way a couple of weeks ago.  Couldn't figure what they were after in there until I went and looked.  Some of my greens and rye are getting hit hard, but look pretty sad for want of water anyway.  Need to check my clover field again I reckon.  We've had some good rains and warm days.  I think they cut the hay off 2 weeks ago so maybe I'll have some clover in there after all.
