Food Plot Selection
New to the forum so any answers would be helpful. I hunt in the Central Texas hill country. I have to do a balancing act with the rancher who runs cattle on our lease. I don't want to damage coastal and jigs grass which the cattle use. My concern is planting a food crop that could potentialy compete with and overtake these grasses. I am planning on planting two senderos overseen by my tower blind. I know winter wheat or oats can be planted by lightly scratching the ground with a disk and then pulling a drag to cover. This is something that I can plant without cutting too deep and disturbing the root system of the dormant grasses. Wheat and oats also die out when the weather warms and the grasses start growing. The cattle may be a problem on wheat and oats. What is the best method for planting clover and what type would be good for my area? Will it die off as well? Any other plant types that won't take over and can be planted with minimal discing? Thanks in advance.
