Food plot poll

[Football Hunter]

What do you think?This is about 15 yards wide,200 yards long.The rest of the field is clover,and fruit/sawtooth trees,some may produce this year.Was thinking about corn,or just letting it grow up in weeds,like Quailman was saying.BTW,this is Buffalo River bottom dirt,should grow anything.Just wanting to mix it up some.

corn if you can keep the coons from destroying it

Ditto that! They tear ours up.

Just make sure you put some nitrogen on it. That will make it boom

 

[rem270]

i'd put some standing corn or beans or both lol

 

[Food Plot 101]

looks like one similar to mine, however it don't look 45 ft. wide. LOL!

 

[JohnnyDollar]

I would put corn and beans together and not knock it down

 

[buckdead]

plant the whole thing in corn and leave it standing, but mow some strips through it and sow that in wheat.

Same here! I've always wanted some bottom land

 

[Tree Tramp]

Dang that looks good! Best looking TROPHY PLOT ive seen in a long time.

Football Hunter,

I would create concentric rings. The outermost ring would be early succession weeds, tall grasses and briers. The next inner ring would be standing corn or a mixture of corn and climbing beans. This would produce concentric "ecotones" that would aid in deer usage during daylight. Basically, you would creating staging areas into the main central food plot.

Was thinking about corn,or just letting it grow up in weeds,like Quailman was saying.

Actually Football Hunter, what I mentioned was that you should utilize your best land (based on soil quality) for food plot production, since you are somewhat limited with an abundance of food plot areas on your property. If you had ample acres of open land, then yes, I would promote more native "weeds" as well. For some of the "poorer" open areas (ridgetops, etc.) I would definitely promote native vegetation over food plots since these areas will be difficult to establish otherwise.

Good looking plot though!

If it was mine that would be a plot I put money into. Lime, fertilizer and watch everything grow in perfect conditions.

Well,that is deffinatly my best dirt,by the eye ball test any way.I dropped off soil samples for my 3 main areas on Monday,so we will see.

Dont know what to do,its just fun pulling my little flip disc through that,it bogs all the way down in that dirt.I dug a 2 foot deep hole the other day for one of my trees,then realized I was way to deep,had to back fill.But very few if any,ROCKS.

Sent in soil tests on Monday,will see where Im at soon,I hope

corn, lab lab, sunflowers, milo mix

 

[Football Hunter]

Sunflowers would look cool,maybe make a good done shoot,how much use by deer?
