Time to plant winter food plots
I n recent years, by the time local deer
and turkey hunters got around to
planting their winter food plots, the
ground was so hard that harrows
had a difficult time scratching into
the brick-hard Monroe Coun
ty soil. Such is not the case
this year. During the past few
weeks we have been blessed
with frequent showers and a
few bands of rain courtesy of
Tropical Storm Fay. That be
ing the case, I suggest that you
go ahead and plant your win
ter food plots before Moth
er Nature decides to turn
off the rain spigot.
Before you get start
ed you must decide is how many
acres you are going to plant. Wildlife
biologists recommend that, as a gen
eral rule, you should devote at least
5% of your land to food plots.
However, if some natural foods are
available, you can sometimes get by
planting as little as 1% of your
acreage in winter grazing.
Make your food plots as large as
possible. With that in mind, winter
deer/turkey food plots should range
from 1/2 - 5 acres in size.
Next you select what to plant. You
have several options. If you want to
try one of the newer food plot mix
tures on the market try greens.
That’s right, turnip, rape and kale
have moved from our dinner tables
to the deer woods. Deer food plot
mixtures containing these fall gar
den favorites also often include
smooth brome and birdsfoot trefoil.
Several companies are selling mix
tures of deer greens. One mixture
consists of white globe turnips, dwarf
Essex rape and premier kale.
It is recommended that it be
broadcast at a seeding rate of
10 pounds per acre.
You might even consider
using the Georgia Deer Food
Plot Mixture. This formula
tion is the product of a collab
orative effort of the Georgia
Wildlife Resources Division
biologists and agronomists
from the University of
Georgia. One of the major
advantages of this mixture is that,
when properly planted and main
tained, it produces an abundance of
winter food for rabbits, deer and
turkeys for several years. With fuel,
seed and fertilizer prices soaring,
this mixture offers land managers
big savings. This mixture should be
sown at a seeding rate of 90 pounds
per acre. The mixture consists of 10
pounds of inoculated regal ladino
clover, 30 pounds of Stacey wheat, 20
pound of Marshall ryegrass and 30
pounds of Wrens Arbruzzi rye.
In the spring, plots planted to this
mixture should be bush hogged. This
releases the clover from competition
with the ryegrass, wheat and rye.
If you want to stick to a tried and
true mixture, you should consider
planting a traditional food plot mix
ture. One such mixture is Hunter’s
Choice. This winter deer food plot
mixture is seeded at a rate of 2-3
bushels of wheat or rye, 3-5 pounds
of inoculated crimson clover and 25-
30 pounds of annual ryegrass per
acre. This mixture has been planted
on state wildlife management areas
for well more than 3 decades. It pro
vides excellent winter grazing for
deer, turkey and rabbits throughout
the winter. Then it offers songbirds,
deer, turkey, dove, quail and other
wildlife seeds the following spring
and summer.
All of these food plot mixtures will
help meet the nutritional needs of
the deer, turkey and other wildlife
found on your hunting lands.
However, the goal of your food plot
program should be to try to supple
ment natural foods. Ideally, healthy
wildlife populations rely on a broad
variety native food plants for the
majority of their food needs.
Unfortunately, as the face of Monroe
County countryside rapidly changes,
wildlife is finding a smorgasbord of
native food offerings more difficult to
find.
