dogdoc Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Re: Food Plots welcome to RT! for a small bowhunting plot you want 2 things. First--something highly attractive. Second--being small a crop that will withstand good browsing pressure. My favorite "hunting plots" are planted in cereal grains. The most common cereal grains include wheat, rye (not ryegrass), and oats. On a well fertilized, limed plot it's hard to find anything more attractive to plant. You can plant about 4 weeks prior to bowseason opening and with enough moisture it should be ready to hunt and the cereal grains (other than the oats) will stay green all winter. good luck todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockefeller66 Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Re: Food Plots i would put this in the food plot forum if I were you, as far as what seed to plant, we planted a food plot this sping w/ clover, chicory, and alfalfa, the deer ate it to the ground before we could hunt it!

wtnhunt Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Re: Food Plots Welcome to the forums. Best results we have had from plots for hunting have been narrow strips at the edge of the woods. Best results I have seen has been a blend from pennington we planted in September of 2003, penningtons rye and clover supreme. The rye in that mix is a wintergrazer rye grain. Left our lab lab plus plots standing with the sorghum this year, that was also a great early season draw, and still seeing some activity now.

Bond Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Re: Food Plots Hey Dogdoc, Winter rye is my favorite hunting plot too. We've always planted it in large fields, just wondering how they do in minimal lighting, like in small wooded foodplots? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
