Deer Hunting
There have been some questions on food plots. I've worked with the owner of a controlled shooting area to help select crops for 1-2 acre plots. I was just going to pass on some tips and try and get some other peoples ideas.
We use canola, triticale, peas, winter wheat, clover, soybeans, alfalfa, milo, forage sorghum and some whitetail institute mixes. By far canola is the best for deer, in our poor ground we've found triticale is a great start for a few years with 4-5 tons of manure.
Pheasants forever has a mix of sorghum that is great for both pheasants and deer that you can get for free if you know someone in PF or QF. Triticale and forage sorghum are cheap solutions that will draw in deer.
Any new ideas we can use I would appreciate and I hope I have given you guys some new ideas.
I have some food plots but sometimes it's so hard to maintain them without the money.
Yeah like I said you can also use the forage sorghum mix that pheasants forever gives away. Also you can buy bin run seed at any coop or elevator and it will usually grow and is a lot cheaper than buying seed or food plot mixes.
