you will have better luck with rape mixed in with your seed for your winter plots. rape is actually a green and should be planted late. i usually mix some in with my winter seed. rye, oats and rape. ICP works well, have planted in the past some soy beans mixed with corn that were round up resistant. could spray for weeds and not kill you beans or corn.
anyone ever try chuffa? I heard it was good to bring and hold turkeys
i have used throw n grow and its awesome i recommend it cuz hogs really dont like it but deer love it and very easy to make a food plot with
Rad,there's all kinds of different things to palnt in food plots,one thing I seen this year in my clubs was turnips. Deer love the greens on them and the hogs ate the roots late in the season.If you have the time and enough ground get your soil tested so you know what it needs for fertilizer and lime or what it may not need. One thing I've noticed thru the years is that down here plots work better late in the season or after a good freeze. Early they have so much to eat like acorns and natural vegatation sometimes they don't even touch them,but when everything is gone they hammer them. My one buddy fertilizes his gallberries near his stand and that really greens them up and attracts deer and he has plenty on the wall to prove it.Also planting rye,oats,or wheat with your peas is good.Commercial food plot brands are good but I think your paying 10x's the amount if you just bought you own bulk seed and planted it.Something else is if you can plant something for cover like a few rows of corn or sunflowers so the deer feel protected while they feed. Good luck,hope you get it figured out.
That was the other thing SA brought up. If you have a pine row you can mow, or even weedeat just so you get some surge growth. Then hit it with some 10-10-10...Deer will walk out of their way to feed on the growth that has been fertilized. Guaranteed. Fertilizing natural growth is one of the best tricks in my opinion
