food plots??

[judge88]

is it to late for a food plot. if not what type is good? thanks

it's not too late if you can water it consistantly. Otherwise, wait until september. If you are going to herbiside first, allow 6 weeks before planting. I wouldn't risk a planting now, no telling what the rest of the summer is capable of. Almost everything you want to plant should be able to be planted in the early fall. Plus, every thing will be nice and succulant come hunting season. If it is a spring species, next year.

Plant clover in Sept. Soybeans now.

id like to plant something thats would be good for early archery season. i have a piece of property thats an 16 acre field that deer cross every day but id like to get them to stop on it for a while so i could get a shot. im hunting out of a ground blind on it. did well there last year in muzzleloader and rifle.

I am uphere in Wisconsin right now on business in the middle of dairy land. These guys up here plant alot of alfalfa and oats. They say the deer meat is alot less gamey, it taste alot like beef. I dont know when alfalfa can be planted to become established so the deer can feed off of it, but I do know I am gonna try some next year.

16 acres.....get a farmer to plant soybeans and then you can plant other things like clover on the edges.
As said previously.....summer drought is no time to plant....but sometimes you got to do what you got to do.

that sounds like a good idea mark. maybe i could get a crop damage permit if the farmer plants. deer meat goes quick when it feeds 4 people.[smile]

Plant soybeans.Farmers are planting them in the cut wheat fields now.
I have some plots I planted a month ago and after this rain from tropical storm Cindy,they are growing good.I made my own mix of sunflower,sorgum,soybean,buckwheat and blackeyed peas.The soybean got eaten right away but now the buckwheat has the field white with flowers and the blackeyed peas are going crazy.The sunflowers will be flowering before long also and the sorgum isn't far behind.[grin]

Sea-Ya, that is quite an interesting mixture. Should you choose to bush-hog some of that stuff, say...the last week of August, I just wanted you to know that I bring refreshments and pick up all my spent hulls!!!![wink]

Got to see your boat a week or so ago. Turning off of Centrailia. Very nice! That would make a heck of a catfishing boat!

After I bush-hog some of it I'm going to let it stay quite so I won't run that big one away.A few more showers and it'll really be right.

Yep,it would make a hell of a catfish rig but I'm going after the flounder a few days next week and if I can't find any I'll be headed to the blue waters offshore in search of dolphin and maybe a shot at a white marlin.[grin][excited]
