Default RE: Are hay fields just as good as a clover plot?

Wow Caleb that is some awesome property you got there. I agree with the mowing. When I bush-hogged some old hay/grasses/saplings a couple weekends ago I found tons of fresh deer tracks and fresh turkey crap just 2-3 days after cutting. And this is a part of the property that deer/turkey have rarely used in the past. I have NEVER seen any turkey sign on this far side of the property until I cut the field.



Fresh regrowth definitely will attract them. It attracts bugs and helps new, more desired and freshyoung plants come up so deer and turkeys some how just find the fresh cut areas..quick. Gotta love wild animal instinct

Again, awesome looking property. Is that where you'll be going after birds?
