I tie the FG using my reel handle. Makes it so much easier to lean.

re: Acorns or lack of?

Not nearly the acorns that we had last year in NE AR.
I’ve just started trapping on my property. I’ve used cheap bag cereal from Dollar General, and used a large marshmallow to cover the end of the trap to keep rain out. Has worked so far.
Go 6” imo. Can’t help you on price. Ask around, and find a reputable contractor.

I’m bad about overseeding the recommended rate.

54 degrees with NE wind in NE AR. Sitting on a ridge with big white oaks. Just watched 4 big toms and a 4 pt just feed across a small clover plot about 100 yards down a haul road from me. Waiting on big mama doe to show up. Beautiful morning.

NE AR. Sitting on a ridge with white oaks starting to drop acorns. 64 degrees with NE wind. 6 pt. Walked straight to a pile of Big&J apple I added to this am. Cracking the first doe that walks by.

I use 6th Sense bags, and they work well. Looks like they’re on sale.

Looks awesome!
I’ve had one for years and it’s been very reliable. Only issue I had was the button that raises and lowers the deck had to be replaced, but that was right after I bought it. No problems since then.

I have a Pro FXT with 4k miles on it. Great machine.
Went to see Styx and Cheap Trick a few weeks ago in Little Rock. Styx was fantastic, Cheap Trick not so much.

Definitely not too late for doves. I’m planting brown top millet next week. Hancock seed has a good dove mix that I’ve used before as well.

Bought a 3 row John Deere planter this year and love it. I’ve planted soybeans, peas, corn, and sunflowers. If I have a seed I’m gonna put it in the ground lol. I used Eagle Seed, which is not far from me, and they have done great. I did do a half acre of old deer corn I had left over from last year just to see if it could grow. Results were terrible. It came up but was spotty and poor looking. I ended up planting over it.
If fishing in Texas, I would suggest a good used glass boat for handling rough water. FB marketplace and sites like Bass Boat Central are good places to start your search. 30k should get you a decent 19-20’ rig. Look for lower hours on motor and possibly some decent electronics including FFS with lithium batteries.

Of course this will not be an easy search, but there are deals to be had if you’re patient. Stay away from Evinrude!

Got bored and did a quick search in that area. This to me would be a decent setup for a first timer.
