OK I just got permission to hunt a new to me area
600+ acers total , but only 60 or so acers of woods and brush cover
Cost was a bottle of Woodford Reserve ( good Bourbon ) but that mostly a gift to say thanks
My problem , I want to put in 2 small food plots
I plan on putting then on a old lane ( fence is gone , but some posts are still there ) , it is 30 or so feet wide
That old lane is the only area that isn't brushed up or have trees
The ground is hard and packed , so I need to work it up some
But I am limited to getting any tractor in from when the wheat in 1 feild is harvested till about 3 weeks later
As he will be working it up and planting a cover crop ( no driving on any worked feilds ), I can get my ATV in along the edge to spray or mow if needed
So my question is what to plant ?
I don't have a ton of cash .....but the plots will only be 30' x 150' each
So ..... what is a good choice for planting in a low impact area , that will grow without me being able to get a tractor in after about September 1 ?
Thanks
John
