Looks inviting? What do you have planted in the food plot? Looks like some clover (purple heads). What are the "red flower" and the large leafed plants (brassica?)? I plant a couple of acres of sorghum which is great for pheasants but the deer seem to leave it alone except for bedding. Once the local corn/beans are picked and the sorghum is knocked down the deer seem to abandon my area for greener pastures. This year I'll put in one acre of sorghum but I'm looking for deer food in the other.

Here is one to get people thinking about this spring

Looks like the food plot is doing well. Not sure mine will not have to be re-seeded. We had chicory out and the deer grazed it to ground level, even digging through the snow to get it.
Haven't scouted the turkeys yet, but I have been fishing. Nothing big, but have landed bluegill, crappie, and bass so far. The DNR release trout in our local lake every spring, and the release was yesterday. I didn't fight the crowd for a good spot, but hopefully today's rain will keep the crowd away.
