Food plot
TrevorM:
Ah I'm glad you mentioned the salt lick, I'm not sure if I need one or not but I got a couple and put one right in the middle of the plot. I'll be sure to move it when I go back down this weekend.
Is there anything you do to help attract turkey?
Pat B:
Turkeys will eat most anything you plant for deer. Clover is one thing, nut grass(chufa) and probably any of the brasicas(kale, rape, mustard, etc). Grains would probably come later in the year for turkey hunting but would attract them during the off season.
PEARL DRUMS:
I have no first hand experience with it, but I hear planting chicory will get them excited.
TrevorM:
Gotcha, I think there was mustard in the mix. I'll see if I can get some of the others too. Chicory would be worth it even if they didn't care for it, add it to my coffee in the morning :)
bjrogg:
Trevor I think it's called something else now. I think the acronym is NRCS. Our county has a place where conservation programs are assisted. I buy trees from them in the spring. We also get nitrogen soil test done there.
I'm sure you can get ideas from you tube or tv shows to. I don't watch much but I have seen shows. I think mossy oak has done some on food plots. I'm guessing their seed might be pricey but you probably can get some good advice for something that would work for you.
