The answer to that is what food plants will grow in your area. Oldtimr is from your general area, and should have a notion about that. On my duck holes in Arkansas, I am blessed with Smartweed, so No planting. Also, we have had excellent hunts over simply native grasses that were allowed to seed out and were than flooded.

I have had a consultant from Miss. advise me on Chufa, which he finds very effective, especially since deer and other plot poachers do not eat it. It is a nutgrass. However, I planted an acre or so next to the Bayou, and the coons dug up every single seed before they germinated.
