Is it to late?

[Big_Willie24]

I have never planted any food plots and I was wondering if it was to late to do it now?

There are plenty of great plots that can still be planted. Brassica's and rape blends can be planted into August and ripen up just in time for bow season. I planted a field too early last year and the deer destroyed it a month before season so sometimes later is better and make sure the field is big enough to support the population.

ok thanks i always hunted on my buddies land and now i have my own land to hunt on i was wanting my own hunny hole.

brassicas work great. you can also plant clover plots in early to mid-august and the deer will destroy them throughout the fall. we mixed rape with clover and wheat last fall and the results were delicious.

tape i need to have you and oren come check out my set up i think we are going to slay some deer this year..

Don't worry about me, Willie. Poor old Ryan will just try to get by with a doe or two. You guys have your fun in Kansas.

Kidding aside, I really like the rape, and white clover for a fall plot. This year I'm going to add a couple of different turnips, and see how they like that. I'm also leaving standing soybeans, and corn (if it grows well).

The neighbor, however, sprayed his round-up-ready soybeans on a day when the wind blew the chemicals directly toward my open-pollinated corn.
We'll see how well it does.

Find your seed soon. You should be planting in a few weeks.

Ryno, we have 4 different hunting spots each feild with over 40 acres and most of it is farm land and you are more than welcome to come slay some of our deer... there is plenty to go around
