A little scrape and apple eating action! I can't post more then one video. I'll try and throw the the rest in the comments. A lot has happened in the last few weeks in the whitetails world. The velvet has fallen and they grew a brain, acorns are falling spreading deer, but fruit is dropping here and the word is spreading as there were a dozen bucks on this camera during the night and evening.

I feel like I need to tie a limb down for the little fellow to have a licking branch. Lots of bucks starting to cruise this particular orchard as some have started to drop.

He filled his belly before checking his mail, by the looks of his belly dessert affects him like it does me.
Ryan ziptie a grapevine to hang down right above ur belly button. They’ll Use it like crazy. And as the leaves fall off the tree it will raise up slightly being perfect height for the rut
Hang a section of grapevine down at about your waist level. Bucks can’t resist it.
Hunter's deer pear is tight and green this time of year but will ripen and fall free from the tree from mid-October through November. I like to feed pears that time of year as they get that natural cold storage, ripen, and become very sweet. This tree is available at bluehillwildlifenursery.com/product/hunters-deer-pear/. You will also find a lot of other pear trees for sale ripening around that time as I love to feed pears at the time I love to hunt the most and the deer are on them!

Does the big ten apple tree produce annually. Putting my order together for next year and could find if it was an annual producer? Thanks for all great info your provide about fruit trees for wildlife
Do you ship in the fall also?
Best fruit trees on the market. I’ve planted 20 or so over the last 4 years and have 100% alive today.
Does anyone want to play the game of Let's Age this buck?

At what year do the big dogs start producing? Mine are in their 3rd growing season 6 feet tall but nothing this year
My winter craberina I put in the ground this spring has fruit this year. Just 2, but I was shocked! All my trees from 5 years ago put on heavy grit this year. Had to take a lot off once they got to much for the limbs.
Nice.
I rarely do any plot work during the first or last hour of light, and last evening, I reminded myself why. I wanted to get those brassicas in before the rain. The pictures are not very good, as my two best bucks were 300 yards away and were not sticky around with me spreading some seed.

I don’t think you scared them too bad. In my experience plot work, farm work and tree cutting are usually quickly forgiven.
What’s in those apples!???
Can you come to Virginia and kill some of these deer man? They’re everywhere!

Got mine ordered. My Blue Hill Wildlife Nursery, LLC Dologo and #5 Crabapple I planted this spring 2024 both made fruit. Should have pinched them off sooner.
Ryan, when would these ship?
Any paw paw yet

Do you have persimmons in stock?
Also curious about your stock going into fall 2024.
Definitely interested in some of these.
In these pics, we look over into the orchard and into those beans I posted before. I took the spot that was the most accessible for me to get in and out of this farm without being detected, and I began making it what I wanted. It is a spot where everything comes together again. I like to bow hunt, and that hollow you can see going down to the right has many trees cut down, making an excellent pinch point leading to a lot of food.
There are around 50 grafted pears and apples, apple crabs, and crabapples in this plot now, and I spaced them so I could keep my rows of chicory and clover and left room to add some new trees as there is a lot in the works that I will feel would be a great addition into making this a one-stop shop. Every tree in this orchard is on a standard root, and I'm looking to capitalize on that real estate in the sky with more food falling from above as these deer keep coming. Switchgrass was planted recently at the top right of these pictures. I made diversity pockets in them, which are the green circles you can see. I'm keeping most of my bedding to the west to make myself good on a SW, W, and NW wind. Pics are in sequence to give you an idea to my plan.
