Well, I've decided to make a small, fall food plot by one of my best treestands. It's located within a timber but the area that would contain the foodplod was clearcut this winter to allow sunlight penetration and also allow an area for the deer to congregate. I went in a couple days ago and cleared out all the small woody vegetation that had sprung up and used Roundup on the entire area after that. The spot is about 40 ft wide by about 150 ft in length. I was thinking about planting forage oats in there in late August via a garden tiller and rake. So I'm looking for opinions on whether the oats are a good idea or if you think something else would be in order. Also wanted to know if my timing sounds ok on the planting.
