Well the Deer Season is coming to an end and soon it will be time to get to work. I will be adding Lime an trimming limbs around our Food Plots for the coming of Spring! This is my second Favorite time of Year. I just Love when everything starts growing again. We don’t plant until around the first of May an this year we might wait until the middle of the month, I’m trying to let the Clover Head Out. Soon it’ll be time to crank up the Old Tractor. And I will be Praying for a good Crop!
We always plant a spring mixture of sorghum iron clay peas Clover an soybeans! It gives the Does an the newborn Fawns tender green vegetation to build up there endurance for the coming Winter. Also the sorghum comes in just before the start of Bow Season.
Good reminder not to neglect your food plots. Personally know of one excellent piece of land, good mix of cover and open spaces, several streams, plenty of oak mast, great terrain. For years it produced quality deer and plenty of them. Within two seasons of food plots becoming “too much trouble” the change in deer density was amazing. Besides, maintaining good food plots is one way of giving something back to the wildlife. Food plots are not only helpful to the hunter but reproduce for a number of game and non-game species the kind of mixed forage once available in farming country before industrialized farming mono-culture became the norm. Its a way of saying, “Thank you, Lord,” for the harvest and the experience of His bounty.
