I have a little spot in mind for a food plot.
In the spring this is a shallow pond, but as the weather warms and summer moves in it dries up and becomes what you see in the picture.As summer moves along the bright green sprouts you see become chest high burrs. behind where I was standing when I took this pic is a big oak flat, lots of acorns in the early fall, there are hardwoods to the left and the whole thing is surrounded by beans and corn.
This afternoon I treated a fairly good sized area of this with roundup. my plan is to return in a couple weeks and throw out some seed.
so my question is this, what seed do I get? I cant bring in a tiller, the best I can do is to rake up the soil and turn it over a little bit. It isnt a big enough area to sustain the deer all winter but I would like to find something to keep them interested when the acorns and crops are gone.
by the way.In the head to head thread I just started in the trail cam forum, all the deer in those pictures were in just about the very spot I was standing when I took this pic. every one of them was exiting this meadow in the evening. nut last year they had a tendency to move into this spot in the evening.
