wtnhunt Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 in your opinion what is the best deer food plot to plant that is a perrenial Clovers and chickory. I like the seed hamann farms puts out, and also like penningtons rackmaster clovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 yep--a mixture of clover and chicory is hard to beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natethebowhunter Posted November 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 what is chickory????i dont think ive ever heard of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 what is chickory????i dont think ive ever heard of that Last couple times I have planted chickory I have picked up the biologic stuff at wal mart. Honestly not a fan of biologics seeds, but the chickory they package does germinate very quick and the deer love the stuff. I am a fan of pennington seed, and next time around I will order from them ahead of time. Here is a link to some information on chickory http://www.penningtonseed.com/section/wild_game_02.asp?type=products&id=238 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSU_Seminole Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 I'd totally agree with these guys. Clover & Chicory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 The Whitetail Institute's Imperial Whitetail Clover and Alfa-Rack. One or the other will work in most soil types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETMGROW Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Clover is my first choice also. Chicory has also been a good attractant but the clover seems to be the mainstay for keeping deer on the property. My best advice would to be for you to buy seed made for deer food plots as opposed to farm type seed. The small increase in price will be long forgotten when the results are in.

Southerngirl Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 We just go to the local feed store and buy a mix of seeds, 7top turnip, purple top turnip, kale, rape, & mustard to plant. That's what is on my backyard and I was hoping to get a mess of greens for myself but the deers keep it mowed down That's what the little doe was munching on in the pic with my kids. We also plant rye, they seem to like it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QDMAworks4me Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 I would agree that clover and chikorey mix is the best all around food plot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
