absolutely, soil test is key and the amount of lime and fert as well... what i was going to do was all annuals for the first few plantings, the biologic sudden impact is a perennial but ill try it anyway. I figured id till up the maximum or sudden impact in august or so and replant with either more maximum or another blend to take the food source through the winter months.

My first year I put in 2 clover plots and they have been my main year round food plots for the last 4 years, then I set aside another plot adjacent to my clover plot and thats where I put my annuals come late July.You can plant the clover in May -June and will start producing in time for bow and will continue to produce for years....If you plan on plowing a plot under, you may want to consider Buckwheat. You can plant the buckwheat then plow it under in late July and August and use it as a green manure, which would be great for the health of your annual planting. Just a thought.

Turkey hunting is hit or miss depending on the land, I'm in a heavy Ag area and there is no shortage of Turkey. I have Turkeys pretty reguarly on my property, there are some farms that I know close by where its not uncommon to see a hundred in fields during certain times of the year. In general our area has some of the highest turkey harvests in all of NY.

I have to agree Doe, I really enjoy Worcester for not only turkey, but the deer along with Rabbit, Grouse and predator hunting can be very enjoyable and successful. Just the whole area with its mountains and fields is really breathtaking. Close by In Deleware county is same with equal opportunities.

Otsego aswell, I don't hunt there much because its not so good. It is good for a long day of still hunting as there is alot of room to wander but this spreads the deer out over a few miles. There are however some very nice bucks there and lots of turkeys, and even a bear or two now and as NYbow said a healthy small game population.
