Bears aren't in this area yet. I'm sure they'll eventually mosey over. They are thick across the Bayou Macon.

257, how old did you say your CRP is?

I think we’re going to do a little CRP starting next year on the edge of one of the bean fields.

The farmer across the road from us who leases a couple of our fields to grow beans on let’s us hunt his place as much as we want because he stopped hunting. His CRP is almost 13 years old and dropped some acorns this year. I was talking to a wildlife biologists last week that’s heavily involved with CRP and he stated if you’re near the MS river or big rivers or if your land is in a very fertile area your trees will start producing at 13-18 years old. If the area you’re in isn’t like what was mentioned above it could take up to 25 years before they drop good.

You’re just north of me in a pretty good area so I’d imagine you’ll see some in the next few years. Are y’all fairly close to the river?

On Tensas River. I hope we get some at year 13. Acorns would really help.

We've got some CRP in the area that was planted 2003 - found a few water oaks making nuts this yr.

That’s right in that 13-18 year range.

I think y’all will have some start dropping in the next 3 or 4 years

Just got winded. Deer still blowing. Wind is blowing dead in my face. This is aggravating
