What would you plant for winter food plots? I'm thinking alfalfa would be at the top but I'm just curious what's out there that is beyond the norm.

Buck forage oats,daikon radish and imperial white clover. I'd spend the rest on ferilizer and lime.

"Why do you ask"?

Too many people spend money they don't have , on things they don't need, to impress people they don't know.

winter peas, corn, and oats. Maybe sweet wheat as a buffer. A little of all three spread in rows. I dont have any experience with the southern alfalfa variations but up north they hammer them.

I don't understand the obsession with planting fields

I haven't sat on a greenfield in years and don't care if I ever do again

If money was no object I'd buy Portland Landing and never plant a Greenfield.


I hate making a good first impression. There’s no way I can keep that shit up.

Was going to try alfalfa once but everything I read said it was very sensitive to soil pH, needed like a 7+, and temp. that our area didn't normally get.

Only if they jumped my fence. Money is no object, remember?

In the past two years I've killed two bucks 4.5 year old or older off plots. We don't shoot does on plots so we see great activity on them. We are also in a lower deer density so the better our fields the more deer we can draw. Plus I enjoy planting and sitting on plots in the afternoon. I like cutover and woods morning and mid day.

It's just a damn deer. Why tromp all through the woods for one? They come to fields at my place. Much easier to shoot one pull up to it with loader or ranger and go home.
