i was just wondering who here makes their own food plots and if so, what it consists of. i have about a quarter acre or so of clover/alfalfa. its really cool seeing deer come in on a plot that you made yourself, very rewarding.

I enjoy planting foodplots and then watching deer eat in them. I plant a mixture of ironclay peas & soybeans in the spring/summer and then come back with buck oats & rye in the fall/winter.

I have one going now with Imperial Clover. It is doing very well now that I got the mustard weed unter control. I still have a few grasses. I know what you mean about watching the deer in it. Last fall while hunting near it I had a nub buck in it for almost 45 minutes. I just kept thinking "eat up and I will see you in about 3 to 4 years". This spring I have seen up to 7 deer in it and it is not quite an acre. I am working on another one to plant this fall. Getting the soil ready does take alot of time but is well worth it.

I just recently planted 26 acres of soybeans for the deer this summer. In late summer when the beans are dead and gone i will plant some oats and wheat to winter the deer on.

I have two one about a quarter acre and one that is about 20 feet by 20 feet and we have Imperial No Plow and it is very easy and works great deer and turkeys love it.
