maddhunter Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 We've finally got turkeys back on the place after about 15yrs so I've decided to plant something to help them food wise and help keep them in the area. Is there anything that will benafit deer and turkeys? I don't have but about an acre to work with so I'd like to help both if I can. If not I would lean more towards planting for the turkeys and keep my protien licks and feed for the deer. Thanks!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Re: Food Plot for DEER & TURKEYS ??????? Clover/trefoil and chickory. The turkeys hammered our clover/trefoil plot all summer long here. Have heard chufas work well too, but have not ever planted them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LETMGROW Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Re: Food Plot for DEER & TURKEYS ??????? We have seen the most turkeys in our clover plots. They eat the seeds as well as the grasshoppers and other bugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
