im planning on making a small (1 acre) food plot next spring.. just lookin for some fresh ideas

 

[10 point]

I would try some corn,clover,and peas

 

[Buckshot]

I have never done a food plot in the spring so I don't know what to tell you there. Ours are always fall plots and we put in winter wheat, Three types of clover, Buck forage oats and occasionaly some rape.

 

[deercook]

corn, corn, and a little more corn. always reliable

 

[critter gitter]

clover is always good, Red or white will do fine

 

[wisconsinshotty]

do i have to till everything or can i jus weeed whack

 

[joel the signman]

till it all and put down weed killer,like round up.Or you can go with whitetail institutes" no plow".and another company makes "secret spot"

 

[wisconsinshotty]

but i have like really tall grass

 

[joel the signman]

mow it ya lazy bum:lol: :lol:

 

[wisconsinshotty]

does lawn stuff like WEED N FEED good for the plot

 

[deercook]

If you have easy access to it I would mow it real low, till it up, and plant what ever it is you would like to plant. Pretty much like making a garden. Just for wildlife instead of for yourself. I would be afraid the weed and feed might end up killing what ever it was that you were trying to plant.

 

[wisconsinshotty]

the only problem is that i have a tiller but it is electronic and not cordless

 

[joel the signman]

im not sure but probably

 

[joel the signman]

whitetail institute of northamerica - deer food plots and wildlife food plots go here

 

[wisconsinshotty]

[joel the signman]
