re: Current timber prices
Posted by Bayou Ken on 7/20/26 at 6:56 pm to Theotherpikecounty
Loggers just finished my place 2 weeks ago.
I tried for 3 1/2 years to get my place outside Pattison, MS logged. The mills just wouldn’t take pulpwood. I ended up putting up a 4 x 8 “logger needed “ sign to generate some interest. I still had several guys turn me down before I found someone to agree to cut it. I
Did a heavy thin on 70 acres of 22 year old loblolly pines which I gave the logger all the money for. I also had 25 acres of Large pines along with sweet gums and they select cut about 25. - 30 acres of hardwoods. They left plenty of mature pines. Deer, turkey and quail habitat is my goal.

I’m using a modified version of Grant Woods’ no till drill method without using a crimper. I did spray with glyphosate.

I Planted my summer plots last week. I added cereal rye to my fall mix and I had a good stand of rye. Used my front loader bucket to knock down the Rye as I drilled Stratton Heritage Blend at 90 lbs/acre. I have a good layer of mulch to keep my seeds protected and help build soil.
Mix in that order.
This time if year girdle and spray is more effective than hack and squirt.
Hack and squirt is more effective in the fall(Late August to Early October) when sap is going to the roots in preparation for winter. Leaves will start to turn brown in a couple of weeks.
Craig Harper Cocktail:
1. Triclopyr (Garlon 3A) - 50%
2. Water - 40%
3. Imazapyr (Arsenal AC) - 10%
Mix in that other or it will gel.

Sorry, meant to say annual clover.
Just make sure your fall mix has some perennial clover in it or just add some to it. You plant once in the fall and have a year around food plot.
Once you disturb the soil, prepare yourself for a potential explosion of sweet gums. Using the Craig Harper cocktail and the hack-n-squirt method should allow you to keep them under control. Also, Check out Craig Harper, Grant Woods from Growing Deer TV and the guys from Land and Legacy(there are many others). They all have some information that may help you decide on a plan of action.
Birds were in the bay that Bayou Grosbec runs into.
re: Any water in Delacroix/Hopedale?

We smoked them in Delacroix on Sunday in the rain. Had our 3 man limit by 9:20 with several 18” - 19” trout. Artificials under a cork under the birds. Also caught 4 thick 25” - 26” reds. Overall a great day on the water.

Didn’t hunt this morning. Helped my partner look for the big deer he shot yesterday morning. No luck with the dog or drone. Went in this morning and I found him in a creek with just a little water on the neighboring property.

I’m on the Iowa/Missouri state line near Powersville. Best of luck to everyone.
I’m Heading back up to Putnam Co. Nov. 1st.I have a 10 day window and hope to get it done with my bow. I lease 220 acres and I’m starting to get some good bucks on my cameras. It’s amazing how well they respond to mock scrapes.
re: Tractor size recommendation. UPDATE
Posted by Bayou Ken on 10/27/25 at 12:35 pm to DownSouthDave
The MX 5400 is a good choice. I have an 11 year old MX5200 that has been very reliable. However, I’ve been wanting to make the change to a cab tractor. I ordered a TYM 4058 last week.

I’ll be spraying glyphosate tomorrow and drilling my plots Thursday and Friday. I’m a few miles SE of Pattison.
I’ve been running 4 of their data cams with this being my 3rd year with no problems.

API lock on. At the bottom of an oak ridge that is boarded by a thicket and a dry creek. 3 bucks and 4 does so far. No shooters. A little chasing activity. Saw a good one Monday but out of bow range.

Plots are clipped. Will watch the weather and plant accordingly when I return from Missouri. Will spray plots with glyphosate and use a no till drill to plant the following day. Planting Stratton Bounty Hunter:
Oats, Rapeseed, Crimson Clover, Purple Top Turnips, Wheat and Winter Peas. Will also add Elbon Rye at 40 lbs/acre.
