Sam16 Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Guys i just got word from my dad at the farm we hunt that the turnips i planted have bulbs the size of baseballs! this is my first year trying food plots and i am so excited to hunt over them, or to hunt in general. Less than two weeks till i'll be perched in a tree with the stick and string. Hope all the hardwork pays off and somebody on our farm will shoot a monster. Sorry guys, just felt like i was gonna burst, had to post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddyboman Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Sounds good. We have planted turnips for several years on our farm. For us the deer will eat the tops then start on the the actually turnips. Usually we can count on our plots lasting all season. In the winter the deer will actually dig the turnips out of the ground to eat them. Your turnips can/could get bigger. I know in years past we have had them bigger than softballs. But baseball size is about the norm. All depends the amount of rain fall you get. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam16 Posted September 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Yea we have had a ton of rain in northern il... especially during late july and august, right after i planted them... Rain has slowed down the past few weeks though. That maxirack blend has taken off... hope the deer like it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
