Here are my plots. Clover and wheat from last fall and planted corn and sunflowers last week.

Here's a couple pics of one of mine. I keep three plots going.
First one is discing after I plowed it.
Second pic is about 3 months later.
I turn mine over every 2 years. I just buy a bag of Big Rack Mix from the local feed/seed store.

First year with a food plot. I mixed some oats, wheat, clover and turnips.

I guess we'll c how it all urns out.

Had a couple visitors to the small food plot I made. They didn't seem to want to leave even when they spotted me.

The corn and sunflower plots are 30 days old. They are doing pretty good but we need rain badly!

I just came across this photo from last year of my first clover plot last fall on new property we bought last year. Do you think these two button bucks are twins?

My trailcam caught this guy on 6/5 in the corn.

Before and After! Here are a couple of pictures of my corn plot before the drought hit hard and one picture 3 days ago.

efam3300, the corn here in southern Illinois looks a lot like yours. It's toasted!

Yeah it's sad all the hard work we put in and lose it like this. I think I should plow this under to get it ready for some Austrian Peas I ordered from Cabela's. I have not tried winter peas before, hoping for some good luck with them

Here is a buck in my established plot (2 Ac) and a doe in my new plot, (1/2 ac)

Hey guys, I have just started looking in this area of tbn and was glad to see this forum. Deer hunting is my passion and I look forward to learning some of your success tactics in preparing plots. The deer pics are giving me the fever! We didn't plant spring but have been discing up our fall plot areas right after getting some much needed rain. Hopefully we all will get rain over the rest of the summer! Anyways good luck!

Hi and welcome to the forum. What are you planting for fall? I've bought some Austrian Peas and sugar beets to try along with some turnips and maybe wheat or rye. Good luck with your plots.

Thankyou, not completely sure. We planted rape and oats last year with fair success and thinking oats plus something else just not sure what. Will have a dove field(wheat) that may also come up depending on rain. Last year we didnt have real cold weather either so the rape didnt draw the deer as we hoped. My nephew is my hunting partner and he is doing all the research on what's best. Roger

We lost our corn in southside Virginia. Cut and plowed it under this past weekend. Plan to plant rye wheat in August for the winter crop. I had no luck with austrian winter peas last year.

We are going ahead and trimming up our roads and lanes. I told my nephew that I was going to build an attachment that would make life easier. Named it after my son's middle name. Check it out on youtube forestry mowing/tree trimming - YouTube

Does no luck mean the deer didn't like them or your crop didn't do well? Is rye wheat more attractive to deer than the red variety.
