Looks healthy John, what you have growing in that plot?

[burmjohn]

Everything   1 Plot was the Imperial Whitetail Pure Attraction, which is just a mash up of Oats, Brassicas, and Winter Peas.  The other field was clover chikory and oats.  I'm having some trouble identifying some of the stuff on the whitetail plot.  That one is growing the best though.

Looks good from here, hope it pays off.

The bee's were going nuts on the field.  It was like a constant hum, kind of freaky.

[Geno C]

WOW john it looks great!

[erussell]

What are all those flowers? Buckwheat?

[WNYBuckHunter]

Wow, great looking plots John! They are coming in great! Should be deer magnets. You have cams on them, right?

[burmjohn]

Yeah, cam's are on the fields.  Should have a ton of pics soon. Can't wait.

hard work always pays off... i know how it is to clear logging roads, making food plots, hanging trail cams and so on. it adds to part of the thrill when you do harvest a nice buck and reflect on what you and your family did during the pore season to ensure the particular animal you harvest. Its about the camaraderie spent in your pre season and hunting season with friends and family and it makes it that much better knowing you did what you could to make that spot something special.

good job, i really hope it pays off for you guys!

I can envision some nice turkey hunting in those fields...setting up right on the edge of the trees and putting the decoy in there

The white seed head you see is buckwheat and alot of it.  come the 1st frost that plot is toast.  Maybe disc it under and plant wr or ww.

[burmjohn]

There is a lot of other things growing other then buckwheat.

[SplitG2]

John, I'm just trying to help you out.  don't get me wrong it's a nice plot but from the pictures it looks to be 90% buckwheat and if you want a plot come hunting season buckwheat isn't it.  Buckwheat is a great summer plot to build up your organic matter in your soil.  Good luck.

Plot looks good I see other dicots in there besides buckwheat...

[burmjohn]

We shall see what happens, this is the first planting on the plot, so I am glad anything is growing with the lower PH levels we had.  Next year will be a different story.  But I did see a bunch of other crap growing, hopefully will have some better pics next time I go up.

Yes the buckwheat will drop on first frost but if you have other things in there let it be ...that buckwheat is a great draw for deer ...I plant some every year and regularly over seed it in the fall with braccs or triticale or annual rye...bees just love buck wheat....and when it seeds it will draw in the turkey and grouse in your area...besides benefits to your soil....win win all around

Thats nice I cant wait to see what my plot looks like in a week or so.
