Did you have to spray them for them to be dead / dropping seeds in time?I planted mine on memorial weekend last year. They came up great
The DNR mows strips through their sunflower fields just prior to dove season opening. I would assume most others do something similar. Neither spraying nor simply waiting for them to drop are likely to work as well as mechanically knocking the them down.Did you have to spray them for them to be dead / dropping seeds in time?
Four walls, a floor and four pieces for the roof. I'll put roll roofing on it to finish it up. All repainted and ready to go.I sure wish I had mine built in sections…. Lol I’m using those elevator brackets and 10’ 4x4 but then after I get it up…. I am going to have some SERIOUS tree work since I’m sure the view will be greatly obstructed with the new angle.
My next one I will build like that… this one was a learning curve. Things I need to change for sure it is WAY too tall for starters lol main window is too high oh wellFour walls, a floor and four pieces for the roof. I'll put roll roofing on it to finish it up. All repainted and ready to go.
I trimmed some lanes already but still have to pile up the cuttings to burn. Need a week off up there.
Put a raised, insulated floor in it.My next one I will build like that… this one was a learning curve. Things I need to change for sure it is WAY too tall for starters lol main window is too high oh well
But then the others would be too low lol so I think I will adjust if needed once I raise the blind that is a good ideaPut a raised, insulated floor in it.
Thanks for the offer I don’t know ANYTHING about ducks I am a self taught hunter / land manager lol and I’ve only been at it almost 10 years. Ducks are one of the few things I haven’t hunted in fact I think ducks quail and geese are the only Indiana species I do not hunt. Mainly because lack of knowledge and time.
do the ducks land in those field or are they planted by water??? Like I posted I am hoping to get a pond dug so maybe ducks will be in my future…..
I have my sunflower patch along the driveway prepped but not planted yet. Ran out of time and now looks like rain for a bit.
One of my powerline corn plots is done, still a couple more to take care of. Then it's on to some much needed shoot house maintenance. They were originally built out of sheets of T111 on the exterior, but the dam squirrels just love that $h!T . I need to either pull it all off and replace it or cover it with some metal . They have chewed hole in all 5 of them.

I love squirrels. Roasted… fried…. Pressure cooked… crock pot…Squirrels ain’t anything a ruger 10/22 can’t handle my friend, just gotta be proactive (or in my case, bloodthirsty. I hate them and the groundhogs with a passion)
I have and have mixed results. I've had bucks come in and be so fixed on decoy, you could climb down and spear them. Completely oblivious.Playing around on Amazon and found some deer decoys.
Anyone use a decoy?
You do know that deer love beans until the leaves turn, right? Lol.This is what the deer are doing to my corn, mowing it. My sunflowers too.
I planted some beans last week to hopefully deter their appetite.
It's a pisseroffer!!
