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

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.
