I'm going saturday to start my food plot prep work. Gonna be hot as balls, but it's gotta get done right? Anyway, so I'm gonna do my first round of clearing and spraying. Then I'll be back in a few weeks to do round two. The spots I have picked out are off the beaten path and I plan on planting Whitetail institute No Plow. I've also got a few spots back in the woods that I'm going to plant some Bowstand. I have two questions though. Has anybody every used this stuff as this will be my first time using this product. And a follow-up, What are ya'll planting this year (just as a general census).

A little early, I keep the grass tall for young fawns to seek coverage in.
But I'll be planting oats and clovers this fall

The no plows r great
Never used the bowstand

Yea you're a little earlier than I like. Of all the WI stuff I really like their clover. I think its around 34% protein. Its expensive but you only have to plant every few years and can just bushhog and maintain in the between years

I'll probably plant a bow stand this year but thats it. The rest ill be hunting trails that lead no neighbors rye grass fields

Went back to clover last year. Will probably just overseed with wheat, turnips and rape.

I live in La. But have property in Alabama. I am south of Montgomery with pine stands and hardwood bottoms. I don't plant until late sept to mid October try to time rain if I can. Our season runs later than La. I will plant oats. That is if the clover looks ok. Rape did not take last year because the deer ate it too fast. Hope we have another good white oak crop to take the pressure off of the food plots.

We plant a lot of wheat for the simple fact that its easy. In tough to get to spots we just simply throw it down on top the dirt and it usually comes out pretty good.
