Stop making that hand clapping noise, please.
..........ur kinda sesitive arnt you. Lol
Also, this was not a live video...it's already uploaded...so going back and making myself not clap.....pretty difficult
Just found your channel and subbed. We're also NC folks.
When you bush hog and get the field ready are you making a video I would love to see that
I don’t believe the turkeys could’ve eaten that much. One thing i heard you say was when y’all got rain it poured. Well for us in years past we had terrible rains and it packed the soil so tight the seeds wouldn’t pop up. After seeing nothing coming up within a week we pulled a rake around the field to loosed the top up and all sunflowers came up. So I believe that is what happened. Look forward to your upcoming hunts.
Didn't even consider doing that! Good info for the future! Thanks!
I heard of one other field in NC close to me that got flooded out with the heavy rain we got in the middle of May. Luckily fo me I was procrastinating and didn’t get it in the ground till late May. I feel that if I were to have gotten it in early it may have been the same. Still you overcame it and still have a beautiful field to hunt over! Thank for viewing my page and commenting on mine I plan on doing an update of the field tomorrow maybe get a few shots of the flock of birds using it now!

Burning millet works great and cleans field really well
I would think bad seeds. However, with a entire bag of seeds even if bad you would think a couple here or there would show up
This might not be right but maybe the pre emergent did not allow the sunflowers to sprout and the weeds choked out the in combination with the deer and turkeys on the other side
It had very little to do with your Turkey and deer. It was 98% your weather. You said you had a lot of rain and when the ground stays moist the slugs never go away and they will destroy a field of planted seed.
I had the same problem man. I’m in NC as well and I did the same thing you did the millet has thrived but my sunflowers did not. They got about 2 or 3 feet tall with very small heads. I am fairly certain it was the rain we have had this year. Like you said the times it did rain here it was pretty heavy.
I’m in NC to exact same thing happened to us

Hard rain will pack your topsoil and when it dries it will crust over. So all of your seed probably rotted.
Sunflower is finicky. I would blame more on too much water packing the seed bed as opposed to deer and turkeys. I wouldn’t even bother spraying it honestly. We usually just bushog warm season grasses down flat and the dove pile into our small fields like yours for 1st phase shoots. In Alabama our frost date usually isn’t even until well into the second phase. So if we do plant we usually plant later to have something to get birds rounded up for second phase opener and take advantage of natural warm season grasses for We usually piggy back ag fields cotton, peanuts, and very little corn.
My sunflower field was garbage this year. 3 feet tall and tiny heads. There are still doves hanging around though so hopefully I can still shoot some doves this year. Weeds and grass were terrible this year as well as zero rain in June, all working against me.
The last two years I got seed from Southern States, NEVER again. both years I got very little growth. Had seed tested and they were dead seed. Southern States sells two and three year old seed.
Thats probly what happened to me the year i made this video! Got mine from seedworld this year and ended up with a beautiful field!
I farm in Illinois. If we till the ground deep and loose, plant and then get heavy rain, the seed gets sucked down too deep and can’t make it up. My neighbor told me to roll the ground after planting, with a corrugated roller. It packs the soil enough to keep it from being sucked down. Tried it and it works. Good luck.
Thanks
What pre-existing did you use?
Spartan
What state are you hunting in if you don’t mind saying?
Turkeys shouldn't have done 100%kill
Bad seed shouldn't have been 100%
Heavy rain probably your culprit
Yea, you're probably right! , luckily this year we have a nice stand of sunflowers coming in! Hope to make another video this year
@PilotPatriot do you prefer the sunflower to the Millett
