Is there any specific strategies for growing food plots? I have bought 2 different types of buck booster forage mix.
My first 3 - 6 acres are going to consist of these mixes;
45% - Forage peas
25% - Buckwheat
15% - Barley
15% - Tritacle
I dont know what is in the other bag i bought, since i cant even tell what the seeds are. I plan on making two small cedar blinds, one tucked nicely inton some cedar hedges. And another on the corner by the opening in the hardwoods.
I was hoping some of you from past experiences could give me a few pointers while planitng/ Maintaining it .
good luck with the toms Boyz,
Hardy Buck

I have went to Tritacle instead of winter wheat/oat mix I used for years. My cattle feed dealer had a few bags of Tritacle instock one day it was about $2 higher per 100lbs than wheat that year so I gave some a try. I planted it in a test strip on my wheat/oat field and noticed it was grazed heavier by the wildlife and I often saw does run out to that spot to eat first when entering the field. The last year it's all I planted and was very happy. Depending on price I will plant it again for this season.
