food

I have had three toms and up to 30 hens feeding in this plot on a daily basis. I sure hope these boys stick around this spring. This is a plot of winter rye/oats and clover.

In farm country, what is the preferred/best food source in the late season? When there is snow cover? Thanks.

went down to the farm yesterday to check on food plots. Things are looking good. Several months ago I posted about a no-till method I have used once before by simply spraying several times and broadcasting rye and wheat. I did this on a gasline right-of-way on the Northern section of my...

I made it camp this weekend to finish hanging stands, cutting shooting lanes, etc. I did snap a picture of each of my food plots. There is a ground blind or stand in each picture. How many can you locate? Enjoy, I know the deer are.

Went down to check on my food plots and pull memory cards yesterday. Unfortunately, the brassicas are not doing well at all. To say that I was disappointed would be a gross understatement. The new plot behind the barn has virtually nothing growing and the other one isn't much better. We've...

I finally attained membership to the lease surrounding my small farm this year and put in three food plots. These are the first plots I have personally put in so I have high hopes they will grow well and bring in some nice ones this year. I will be putting up trail cams and a time lapse cam so...

Okay. Talking to some guys I was commended on the amount of plots we got put in the ground yesterday. I thought it might be a good idea to post some pictures one of the trail cameras picked up. In reply to JBrown- heck yes, that was a ton of ground we put into seed yesterday! However, most...

Food for thought: the price of a Big Mac meal in Zurich(Switzerland) is now so high in US dollars (at $17.19) that a minimum wage employee in Minneapolis, Minnesota, would have to work for nearly 4-hours in order to afford it.:smiley_chinrub::smiley_chinrub:

Jesse's thread about his food plot plans got me fired up, and since my planting is going to start in about a week I figured I'd share my plans as well. Although I've been hunting this property for the past 7 or 8 years, last fall was the first time I've planted any food plots there. There...

What's a good fall plot to put in. I have a two acre plot surrounded by thick woods and bedding area I planted beans in most of it but they are not doing will with the no rain. They are thin want to plant something else in there to hold the big deer. Thanks for the input.

I have a little spot in mind for a food plot. In the spring this is a shallow pond, but as the weather warms and summer moves in it dries up and becomes what you see in the picture.As summer moves along the bright green sprouts you see become chest high burrs. behind where I was standing...

Alright guys, never had food poisoning before, so figured I would throw this out here, to at least pass some time and get some insight. Woke up this morning, stomach cramps and feeling a little under the weather. Wasn't too bad so I grabbed my morning protein/breakfast shake and hit the...

Well, we are getting into the Spring planting season. What do you guys plant and when? I have a nice tract of land that I can use with a few different locations for plots. Some is full sun, some partial, some pretty shady. Will anything work in the shady area? Is a variety of items a good...
