I went out to the property for a multitude of purposes. I collected soil samples from the four largest food plots, scouted for turkey, checked the cameras, and explored the Southern boundary line. The two photos are from the North food plot. The deer have been hitting the clover with a vengeance. There were tracks all over the place leading into the plot, leading out of it, and all up in it. I've been rotating the camera all around the food plot to get different angles, and to better see where the deer are coming from. I've convinced myself that the deer are coming in and leaving out on the trail leading to the shooting house. In the photos above, that is where the deer are heading. They may be traveling through a shooting lane through the pines as well. 
Don't let the date and time on the photos fool you. These pictures were taken on February 20th, at 6:11 and 6:14 p.m., respectively. When I replaced the batteries, I failed to reset the date and time. These are the first day time photos, so I'm pretty excited about it. I ended up putting the camera on a different tree overlooking the same plot to see if we can find out if they are coming in through the pines at all. We shall see. I set the other camera up on the South food plot. I don't think I'll have much luck on that one, but you never know. As I said, I took four soil samples. The plan is to go to the Rankin County Extension Office and send these samples off to MSU for testing. We'd like to find out exactly what kind of conditioning we need to do to the soil for Fall planting. I'm all for keeping this clover.
I also explored the very Southeastern part of the property. From the aerial map, it looked like a trail from the neighboring hunting camp but through our property. Sure enough, about 150 yards cuts through our corner. I'm not sure what we can, or would want to do about this. The property is not good for much except deer habitat. There are five year old pines throughout that part of the property, so it's pretty thick.
