I’m planning this early summer’s food plots and offer this to others.  I experienced great success with the combination seed mixture of peas, soybeans, and sorghum.  The beans provided the summer feed for the growing antlers, and the sorghum provided cover that they liked into the fall, and then they loved to eat the sorghum pods later.  It was a good seed mixture, I can’t remember the name though.  Might have been Lab Lab, I think.

Also, I’ve been planting these plots for 5 years.  Spring and fall.  This year in September, I planted alot of wheat and clover mixture over about 4 acres and will leave that through the spring seeding.  The turkeys will come.  I will plant some Chufa in June, about 1/2 acre.  But the other 4 acres of previously planted plots, I’m going to let it grow this year, into native weeds, grasses, etc.  Just want to see if that develops into natural cover and food.

My place is eastern Kentucky.  The bottoms, about 5 acres are the food plot areas.  Another 100 acres is woods on high hills and slopes.

Any advice is appreciated.
