I am having the same problem with brome and annual rye grass. One of my problems is half my plots are in accessible for another month due to wet ground. I have got rid of these grasses before by planting a roundup ready crop - like soybeans - or broadleaf crop like sunflowers - and spray and...

Look at yellow and white sweet clover

Seven acre wheat, durana, crimson food plot in a native pecan grove

I waited an planted all my seed two weeks ago. Hadnt had a rain for 3 months up until then. A couple rains and some fog since. Plots look great. Even those throw n mow look decent this year

Do you get enough growth for radish at this late planting date?

I have walked out in my neighbors pasture to loom. When I see a dozen deer in my wheat and clover and 30 deer out in the pasture 100 yards away, I wonder what is out there that I dont have. Fescue

My next door neighbor is a cattle rancher. He loves fescue. He has 1200 acres. He lets a couple relatives and me hunt his place. Bow only, kill what you want, but you have to mount it. But, I digress. I have lush green food plots of wheat, rye, and various clovers. He has fescue. I have worked...

I agree - if in my area, would be at least 4 yrs. But, if this is a Kansas Deer, they are as big at 2 as ours are at 4 - so a little difficult for me to tell. He would be a shooter here.

SW AR - nice gentle rain - first drop since end of August. The Aug rain was only rain since Jun 11. I am going to finally start planting my plots.

Could be - but if that is a wound on the point of his hip - it doesnt appear to be all that bad. Deer are tough critters. I have seen some recover from pretty bad wounds. I wonder if he might be sick - EHD a good candidate this year

I agree - weather predictors are often wrong and have no accountability. I have seen the accuweather app showing no chance of rain - when it is pouring and their own radar shows rain. I think why in the hell dont you just look outside and correct your app.

I have a big old deer I am after. I think he is at least five and maybe six. Three years now of camera history. He has been a 4 pt the last three years. Big, old bruiser for here.

That is the thing about it - I would plant the five acre field for a deer food plot anyway - just later. There is always enough top sown wheat to make a good plot. And no, 5 bags of wheat per acre will not ensure the doves stay - but the crows sure do like it.

My doves started leaving end of July and were gone by first of Sept. plenty of food - they just left. I have seen them do this before. In my state, normal farming practice - which is considered the standard for legal dove hunting - allows for top sown wheat, beginning Aug 15, up to 240 lbs per...

Doves are birds. They have wings. They can fly away whenever they want. Some of the things I do for doves. Five acres of wheat I keep sprayed after maturity for doves to feed in all summer. Three feeders with corn or sunflower seeds. Spread 100 lbs sunflower seeds - every week - on bare dirt Jun...

I do. A five day fishing trip and when I came back, my two loaded apple trees, and several peach trees, were stripped of fruit and branches broken. Apples were two months from being ripe. Peaches were several weeks from being ripe. I trap/shoot 50 to 75 coons off my 300 acres each year - and it...

If I only had one or two plots and really depended on them, I would do it conventional tillage. Throw n mow depends on more stars aligning

We have a lot of Lizard’s Tail in wetland areas. I dont see wood ducks seeking it out. They may eat the seed when they happen to be in the area - but I dont see concentrations of them where lizard’s tail is plentiful. I have not noticed beavers using it - but our beavers vanished quite a few...

I wonder why they are just now concerned with CWD? Kansas has had deer infected with cwd for years. Is the infection rate increasing? In Arkansas, within the CWD zone, food plots are allowed, no supplemental feeding between Jan 1 and Aug 31. Baiting is allowed from Sep 1 - thru the end of Dec...

I usually plant 150 lbs wheat per acre with no problem
