They don't spray power line right of ways down there? They kill my berry patches every three or four years up here. You have a beautiful place Jim.

Yelp, chufa is about as attractive as corn.....If I had a place that I hunted by myself, are with folks I trusted I would plant some also.  I've seen several plots of chufa over the years on WMA's, and its amazing how it will pull birds and cost them there lives.   I've also seen several chufa plots used in hunting video's, one was a NWTF video..... ::)
