RE: What type of food plot should I pick
Its hard to beat soybeans, here in NC...time to plant is right now...
If you are looking for a fall plot...plant 50 pounds of wheat and 5 pounds of white ladino clover per acre...if you plant a fall plot go ahead and lime now...about 4-500 pounds per acre here in Randolph county will get you in the ball park..then Labor Day weekend disk and sow the wheat, put out 3 bags of 19-19-19 and disk again, then plant the clover...the wheat will draw deer in about 4-5 weeks, and the clover will be there for next spring and summer...just cut the wheat about this time next year and fertilize in fall with 4-20-24, and you will also have a plot for next fall.

I have a couple of buddies that have planted alfalfa here in Randolph county...the deer walk by that for clover...These deer around here don't know what alfalfa is...I'm sure they could acquire a taste for it if you don't mind waiting a couple of years.....

Yep...they eat sugar beets, planted them a few years back...it was mid December when they started eating them and by mid January they were gone...Gun season starts here the second week of November and goes out the last of December...so you had 2 weeks to hunt over....I was sure glad I had some winter wheat and ladino clover also planted...I hunted over that from the second week of September until the end of the season.
