dogdoc Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 then i would recommend planting a mix of annuals. Here is a mix I recommend and makes a great early bow hunting spot and will continue to attract through out the winter. (#/acre) 25# oats 25# wheat 25# rye (if you can't get rye then just add an extra 12.5# of wheat and oats) 10# of austrian winter peas 3 to 5# of a brassica mix (such as Hamann Farms or shot plot--basic rape and purple top turnips will work also). Fertilize with 200# of triple 15 at planting and then fertilize again about a week before bow season (as long as rain is in the short forcast) with 100# of 34-0-0 this is about the best hunting plot you can have. todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outdoorsmen1 Posted July 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 when do you you think i should start to plant that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 I usually plant mine during the labor day weekend or the first weekend of Sept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sskybnd Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 dogdoc, can you go to the feed store and get what you said there, and would i have to replow the plot, or could i take a rake and just rough the plot up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 dogdoc, can you go to the feed store and get what you said there, and would i have to replow the plot, or could i take a rake and just rough the plot up. probably so. I get mine all from a local farm seed company. Check with local farmers they can lead you in the right direction. The only one you might not be able to get is the brassicas but you can get a bag of shot plot at wal-mart around August when they get their hunting stuff out. The more the soil is worked up the better the germination will be. If you can till/disc the plots that would work the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooneandCrockett Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Planting Food Plots Hello from Dallas. We have a ranch on the Red River close to the Panhandle of Texas. Any recommendations for nutritional food plots for deer (whitetail and mule), turkey, hogs and dove? These plots will also be hunted over with bow and gun. We have very sandy soil. Three different food plots will be planted. Would appreciate any feedback from your experiences! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I was thinking about goin with hamann farms new fall/winter blend. You think that sounds pretty good? If you want some big leaf brassicas that the deer love and look like this after 2 weeks: then the Hamann Farms is the way to go. This was a plot of Hamann Farms winter blend that I planted two years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
