Squirrelhunter91 Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Some of you might remember, but probably not, I posted some pics of my foodplots after seeding, liming and fertilizing, well, here are the foodplots after a few weeks of growing. They didn't take off the way we would have liked them too, but for the most part, it grew nice, in some spots... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Re: Growing Food Plot Pics... as you plant more you will learn what does and doesn't work. let what you planted provide some summer forage then late summer disc it under and plant you a mixture of wheat, rye grain, winter peas, and turnips---then you will have a great winter annual plot. todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Re: Growing Food Plot Pics... Didnt you plant a clover mix. It might be ok. We planted a spring planting of a clover/trefoil mix last year and it did not do so well at first, but it has turned out great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhunter91 Posted June 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Re: Growing Food Plot Pics... todd, we don't have access to farming equipment and stuff like that. All of our foodplots were torn up by hand, doing donuts in 2WD on the quad. We planted a clover mix from Tecomate. All we have is a quad and some determination. These plots are planted in an area where there is little to no forage for the deer during the fall/winter. The mast production hasn't been good the last few years and we are doing our best to keep the apple trees trimmed and fertilized. As a matter of fact, the apple trees are showing their first apples. The only things for the deer to eat in the area are the apples and corn everyone throws out the night before opening day and the loral. We are trying, but nobody else believes in foodplots.

dogdoc Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Re: Growing Food Plot Pics... you know what I'd do then this fall---very early fall right before a rain or during a rain broadcast about 25# of wheat directly on the ground. The rain will help cover the seed and provide more winter forage. good luck todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
