dbHunterNY Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 I'm thinking about eventually making a foodplot at the new house and I've been thinking about the new Sudden Impact mix. I wonder how much it will be or if anyone has seen it out yet. I'm definitely going to want a perennial mix though that'll grow stuff throughout the the season.

wildthing Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 how big is your plot going to be and what type of equipment do you have to plant / maintain it with? Keep it simple...go with a perennial clover mix. I have planted Imperial Whitetail and Tecomonte clover seeds. Both have performed well...and I usually mow 1-3 times a year. Keeps on growing year to year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntermq32 Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 I planted tecamonte monstermix about 5 years ago and the clover is still growing strong. The chickory only lasted two years though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 I'm not familiar with that mix. It is hard to beat a ladino clover plot mixed with some chicory. Will last for years if taken care of properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our soils, there isn't much hunting on the ladinos the first year they grow so slow. The crimson adds quick growth you can hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will last for years if taken care of properly. I'm not sure it's available yet. It's some silly mix the BioLogic put together based on plants that the freakishly big deer, Sudden Impact, chose to eat all the time. I think it's a perennial. In terms of equipment, I'm still acquiring stuff. I've got access to just about anything, but right now I've got a compact Kubota tractor with a belly mower and I'll probably get some small implements for it. It's only 17 HP though so it's not much of anything I'm used to. I'm only planting around a couple acres though. I'd like to keep browse and cover for the deer too. I've only got I think 8.6 acres.
