Guest wiqdma Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 At most of my seminars, food plots draw the most attention. Who out there has food plots and what have you been planting? My 2 nephews and my 2 sons have 15 food plots on our land. We have a little of everthing from clover to alfalfa to rape to carrots to rye to oats to corn..... you get the picture.

wtnhunt Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Re: Who has food plots and what did you plant? Got a few. Have a 3 year old penngton clover and rye supreme plot that is about 1/4 acre that will be replanted next year. Have a 1 acre trefoil/clover plot from hamann farms. Have two custom home blended pea/bean and sorghum plots totaling about a half an acre. Have two winter plots I am in the process of prepping that will be getting a winter blend from hamann farms.

ousoonerfan22 Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Re: Who has food plots and what did you plant? Do the deer feed on the trefoil quite often? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starbux Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Re: Who has food plots and what did you plant? I have a 7.5 acre cornfield that I'll leave standing. I'm gonna plant a strip of oats around half of it and wheat around the other half to see what they like more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unioncountyslayer Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Re: Who has food plots and what did you plant? Tecomate Monster Mix. Worked really well last year. Drew a lot of deer in, bucks and does. I planted another field in it this past spring and it's done really well so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Cntrybycrf Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Re: Who has food plots and what did you plant? I got some of the biologic hot spot and i cleaned off a spot in the woods that had some good green groundcover anyway. I will maybe get some pictures once I get my stand hung.

Guest luckyman4 Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Re: Who has food plots and what did you plant? My best plots have Imperial Clover in them. I also have a small plot with perrenials left over from last year's Secret Spot planting. I have another planted with Small Burnett. I may plant some very small harvest plots of Buck Forage Oats. . . had great luck with them last year. If I am going to plant them, it will have to be in the next couple of weeks.

Guest cowpoke Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Re: Who has food plots and what did you plant? Don't have any. Don't need them on my land. I have a farm with all kinds of woods, edge and alfalfa, corn, pasture and soybeans. Grown to harvest and sell or feed cattle. Deer and turkey are abundant.

Guest anderson3 Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Re: Who has food plots and what did you plant? I have a lot of different things, but mostly in small test-type plots. I don't hunt all that much at my place, but I like to play around and we enjoy observing the deer in a few visible plots. Assorted blends of: buckwheat, oats, rye, small burnett, chicory, brassica, partridge pea, one secret plant in development, and a bunch of clovers. No corn or beans or peas this year.
