AdirondackBH Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Below are pictures of a first year fall food plot that we finished in August. This area was once a heavily overgrown scrub apple orchard with Honeysuckle so thick you couldn't walk through it at all. We cleared the entire orchard, plowed, disc'd and planted this year. This area has many positive factors. It is on the top of a hill with large AG fields off to one side and a deep ravine with a bedding area at the bottom, on the other side. The plot has numerous heavy producing apple trees, a number of red and white oaks along the perimeter and the plot we put down this year consists of Rye, Brassica and Clover. With the main wind, this plot is very huntable and we have already set out stands. I predict the deer will use this in the early season and rut as a staging plot before heading into the AG fields and as a main feed plot once winter settles in. Here are some pics starting with the plowed area to the most recent pic including 15 days of growth. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
