food plots now

[biggamefish]

Are there any food plots that you would start now. Even with the frozen ground.

[G-Man]

Clearing trees/brush can be done now. The next time you could really do something would be late spring and that would be frost seeding/over seeding fields.

The guy that tends ours starts in March/April depending on the rain

Not that i know of. Take a break and use these next couple months to make sure you have yourself organized and ready for the spring. Having a solid game plan will save you many headaches as opposed to just hitting it without much thought in the late spring. Also use this time to make sure your equipment is ready to roll come green-up. The first three things on our spring agenda are. (1) frost seed any perrenials that need a boost. (2) Weed control where needed about the time you notice your lawn needs it's first mowing. (3) Start turning dirt as soon as the conditions are right for the tractors..

I will be working on trails to get to the plots and clearing on some edges for more sun.

Since I plan to turn both plots and expand one, I'm thinking June just after spring Turkey. But maybe broadcast some lime / 10-10-10 before then. Suppose I could take an afternoon or two for spraying.

Does anyone know where I might be able to rent a mulching head attachment for my skid steer or someone who does this work

[G-Man]

you mean a hydroaxe? try your local bobcat dealer, don't know who is there. but buffalo is bobcat of buffalo.

right now I'm sketching plans...planning soft mast buys and seed....calculating fertilizer and lime costs...and marking trees for removal now and spring hing cutting....spring because the bark will be in a "slip" stage ...making the hinge less likely to break or splinter off...giving the tree a better chance of living for a bit.....

I was thinking of putting down some lime. Any thoughts?

[G-Man]

lime needs soil to particle contact. putting it down now most will wash away... you need to be able to work it in...
