Week 45: three does, one young doe. Starting to feed deer as green stuff is getting more scarce. Water in soil is adequate for grass, but no pools for wildlife, so beginning to add water to the trough for supplemental water.
Week 46: Good flock of turkeys went on through the fields in the rear of the house. Maybe 15 total.
Trying a new technique on establishing oak trees. I collected over 100 acorns and planted them inside prickly pear mounds. The expectation is that they will sprout and be protected from deer browse when they sprout. Check next spring.
Week 47: Humming birds have left. Many songbirds have left, but the cardinals will be here forever. Corn and sweet feed in the feed lot for deer.
Week 48: Sweet feed and corn nearly every evening for the deer, they seem to need this food now. 8 does show up for the feed. Have not seen any bucks this year so far. One inch of rain which helped to fill the tanks.
Summary Comment: All in good shape.
