My plots in spring would always get grown up with weeds and never very good. I probably will just do fall plots from now on, but you never can tell.

Yes Sir we are getting fired up
Thats what we are going to do like you mentioned above, disk the ground
up good put some lime out and fertilizer disk it in or turn in .
I just Hope we get some good rain to get it started after we have worked
it and planted. " Praying for rain" this year.
We are also putting some feeders and Minerial licks out to aid in the effort.
I talked to a fella the other night on the ph. He was telling me of a proteen
pellet thats about 16% but to mix it 50/50 with whole kernnel corn.
This I hope keeps them somewhat off the new food plots untill they can start
getting established. ( I hope it works anyway)
What kind of clover do you plant ? are you useing Duranna too ?
I hope we have the time when we are up to get some sorgum planted too Id
sure like to get the doves comming in and feeding on that.
And bust some caps on them in early season , if you can get enough of them
they are real tastey
plus fun to shoot.
Man I cant wait to get back up there, Do y'all put feeders out as well
what do you prefer in them, just checking for anything to feed .
I have seen deer tear up one feeder eating it all the time and yet on a different place on the lease not touch the same feed. Finicky eaters LOL
Good luck with your Turkey season, and with your plots.
Any help with Plots or supplimental feed is greatly appreciated and is always
welcome here, this is how we all learn
God bless,
