I recently bought an atv disc and want to get into doing some food plots on a few of the farms I hunt. I figured I would wait until August to plant (spray with roundup in July). I want these to be hunting plots this year and then plan on frost seeding with clover next winter.
One area is a narrow bottom (maybe 50yds) with small creek running through it. In past years it has been pastured but not anymore. I'm thinking I can get at least a half acre, if not a full acre plot in there.
I've been thinking of planting Evolved Habitats Shot Plot (variety of rapeseeds and turnips) or Antler Kings Hot Spot (also rape and turnips). Actually was going to plant a bag of both to see which one turned out better. Talked to a guy that planted Biologic Full Draw and Shot Plot last fall with good results.
Or should I plant some winter wheat and rye of some kind. Not very familiar with these so any adv. or disadv. would be helpful.
Thanks Justin
