Week 6. Tiny bluebonnets beginning to show up. No deer all this week, food is eaten at night tho, and tracks are all around the feed lot. Sweet feed and corn distributed 4 of seven days.
Week 7. Three deer in feedlot at late evening just after the "food truck" arrived. They seem to now know when to show up. No buck deer.
Week 8. Grass growth looks promising so far this late winter. Cardinals have all moved back in and at the feeder. Six of seven days deer feed in the feedlot. Cottontail rabbit showed up again.
Week 9. Created a very small brush pile in front near road, small for rabbits, etc.
Three deer at the feedlot just before dark. From trails, they seem to have a circular route from the feed lot toward the front of the property, up through this tract and onto the tract to the north, going in a direction where there is more cover and no homes.
Summary Comment. As more homes get built here and with new owners being interested in clear cutting much of the undergrowth, its beginning to look like our tract is an oasis of sorts.
Throughout this month, regular feeding sweet feed, corn and kitchen green scraps have been scattered in the feedlot.
