Will oats and foodplots be a good hunting spot in gun season/winter or early bow season?
sounds right to meBSK said:Because some varieties of oats do not stand cold weather well (and also require a bit better soils to be productive), I would recommend mixing oats and winter wheat 50/50. Throw in a little crimson clover and you've got a very attractive hunting plot.

Plant When?

Plant When?
I plant my fall plots once soil moisture is adequate in late summer (once you can take a handful of dirt, squeeze it, and it sticks together). Sometimes this can be as early as mid-August and sometimes we don't start getting fall rains until late October. I never plant by a date. You will waste a lot of seed that way. Always wait until soil moisture is adequate after mid-August.
