Is there anything to plant that would be good draw for deer, turkey, and dove?

If so, what? I’ve got two food plot strips that I plan to harrow and replant in May. I’d like to do something that would be for deer, turkeys, and dove. There’s limited irrigation to these plots so it would need to be something that can survive that. The last two years it has been some “deer mix” one of the other guys found at a feed and seed store.

Planting in May is not great for deer forage because they have so much fresh browse.
We used to plant Conceal until they made Hemp illegal in MS. This stuff was dynamite. The sorghum in it was great for turkey and dove, and the deer loved it for barrier cover. We had big plots that had deer in them midday because they felt secure.
Google "Conceal"

Corn is simply undefeated.

I've heard good things on this board about crickets for turkeys. I'd assume a dove would eat one. Not sure about deer tho.

The popcorn plant is good. I think it’s a tallow tree.
Also, corn simply can’t be beat for any wildlife.

Consider planting large an area as possible with Native plums. American Plum is the Yankee version, and Chickasaw Plum is the Dixie version, with quite a bit of overlap. They put out Runners and Thicket when happy. Great cover. The Plums are sweet to tart, but generally small unless you buy a named variety. Otherwise great for jams and wildlife. You can buy seedlings by the hundred from the state agriculture Departments of many states
