I recently got on a lease near Centerville, TX and was wondering about food plots. I wanted to plant something soon, like winter oats or whatever would grow well there. They guy I'm leasing it from suggested growing peas. The soil is very sandy with red clay underneath. Any ideas would be great.

If you really want and effective plot for early season bow hunting, you need to plant a good spring plot that matures through the summer that the mast ripens late summer early fall like sorghum(the dove love it too). But planting now is the perfect time, even into early/mid october you can plant an effective winter plot, if nothing else it will hold deer on your property when most other vegetation. The buck loves this when it starts to get really cold (if that ever happens). But you will find a lot of shed in your food plots if they make a good winter stand because bucks will spend a lot of time at them post season when antlers are shedding. You cant really go wrong with trying to plant a food plot just try to plan on planting if you know rain is expected the week after. Rain is key. If you have any other questions just let me know

The budget has tightened up significantly recently so I will most likely hold off on the food plot project until the spring. Also, the guy we are leasing through doesn't allow bow hunting during archery season (how lame is that). Hopefully that will change next year so that a spring plot that matures late summer/early fall will be effective during the bow season.
