Let me be the first to post here! This year we are going to hit the food plot's hard! Any advice on plots for this area? We had a good thread going on the campfire. Let's get one going here! This was my plot 2 years ago. It was just coming up. Here's a pic of a buck that was coming in about every night.

I disc up the ground, use a broadcast spreader for the seed and fertilizer mix, then cover with a contraption I built that is mostly southern engineering. Works though. Tried a grain drill years ago and the tubes would get clogged or would hit a stump or root and not drop seed so I quit using it.

I would recommend a native mixture of Engelmann's daisy, Maximilian sunflower and Illinois bundleflower. Since they're native these plants grow extremely well, deer (as well as other wildlife) love them and they can handle drought conditions. I plan on planting a few 1/2-1 acre plots this year myself on the ranch I am currently managing.Last edited by Blood Lust; 02-23-2010, 01:49 AM.
