food plot is mowed down now of it would QIUT RAINING IN OHIO! I could spray and till to get planted but o have two pages of alfalfa to put down so the next post it should be spaced and planted Mike4christ
It's litterly a 2.5 acre thicket I bush hogged last year and this year I mowed down roughly a a 1/4 to 1/2 acre for the plot. And it's maybe 150 yards behind the house, but last year we got pictures of a r ally nice 120 or 130" 8 point cutting threw there so I'm going to try and catch him this year Mike4christ
finally got the sprayer up and running should sprayed bumpy this weekend if all goes as planned seeds should be planted in 2 weeks Mike4christ
My three bags of ALPHAPLOT Just came in!!!! Now I have enough seeds for 45,000 square feet!!! I can't wait to see this plot when it's done( only my second plot ever) any advice from anyone on foodplots would be Mike4christ
so just to give you all an idea of where my food plots going, the tiny tiny little property just under the white circle is where the food plot is at. I'm right on a tree like that connects a decent woods to a very very large woods. The reason I'm posting this is because my goal is to take a nowhere kinda spot and pull at least a big doe out to try and prove you don't need a 1,000 acres to harvest a deer. The whole property is 5 acres with the back 3 acres thicket that I have mowed down and getting ready to place a food plot. Anyone else out there trying backyard plots lol Mike4christ
That tree line may be your ticket. Looks like a possible travel route between wood lots and food and your spot doesn't look bad for doe bedding. Good luck keep us updated Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Welp, finally got the plot sprayed an the trails mowed down and sprayed as well now we wait and let it die and disc it pictures will be up in two weeks. Making progress here in Ohio, I wanna join a team for the upcoming deer season!!! Mike4christ
well thefood plot is dead as dead the picture is from the new blind I just built Donny a great picture but hopefully here in the next 7 days that farmer will come turn the ground and I'll be able to plant !!! Mike4christ
I feel your pain buddy. Due to work and rain I just got my summer plot in this past weekend. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out for you. Good luck.
Looks nice man but listen...... the 150 bags of shelled corn from the co op is where it's at man. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
I meant 150 pound bag although 150 of them would be a dang nice bait pile. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Baiting is legal in Ohio, so if you want to go that route go for it. Food plot is still a great idea either way. No such thing as too much deer food. We can't bait in Iowa, but we can feed deer (yea I know...that makes sense) away from hunting areas. I run feeders hard once the season is over to help keep deer on my properties.
Move this to the habitat sub-forum. Makes searching and finding all habitat related stuff easier for everyone coming through the forum. We had opposite issues here once we did plant didn't get rain till finally yesterady! Should get the beans and edge mix popping.
It was a joke that meant forget a food plait don't do that and to just throw out a feeder. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
