North40, I'm surprised your land doesn't grow clover well. I would have thought you could grow it easily.

For turkey plots, I plant a mix of Crimson and Arrowleaf, using a 3-1 ratio. I've used this mix in 3 counties and it has worked well in all. In most fields, one does better than the other, but I don't know which will be best until I plant.

This mix makes a nice turkey plot and it's pretty cheap. And it's not too late in the year to plant. My soil in Perry county is good enough that I don't even fertilize the turkey only fields. I also don't worry about getting a solid stand and like to have some bare spots. If you have clover growing in a field and there is a spot of bare ground, that is the spot a gobbler is gonna strut. Make sure the bare spot is in gun range of your setup. You can call softly and the turkey will come to his strutting area and you can say you called him up. smile
