Chufa is a heavily preferred food source for turkey. BioLogic’s Turkey Gold Chufa helps to feed and hold wild turkeys on your property.

Delano_day2 I'm often asked, “What is chufa?” Chufa is very similar to a nut grass. Like WhistleBack, chufa feeds turkeys not only in the fall and winter months, when they need supplemental feeding the most, but chufa feeds turkeys during the spring as well. Like with the other warm season annuals, we’ll plant chufa during May and June. The south can even plant as late as July. Chufa needs 90 to 100 days of growing time to mature. The chufa plant produces a tuber underground that resembles peanuts. The turkeys dig the chufa plant up to get to that peanut-like growth on the chufa root. Chufa is relatively easy to grow, doesn’t require much fertilization, and grows well in sandy or sandy loam type soils. Throughout the year, turkeys love digging these plants up and eating the chufa tubers.

Chufa has been planted in much of the South for many years. Planting several different plots of chufa at various times through the spring and early summer to have chufa maturing at different times during the fall, the winter and the following spring.

To learn more about chufa and how to plant it, go to www.plantbiologic.com.

Use WhistleBack game bird blend this spring/summer for fall and winter food and cover.

I'd studied this buck's pattern for a couple of weeks, being extremely careful not to leave any scent in the wrong places. I'd selected a stand site where the dense underbrush funneled into a 40-yard-wide strip. I was sure this was where he would walk and I

Field Judging Black Bears

Ask any experienced hunter and they’ll tell you that black bears are among the most difficult big game animals to field judge. Part of that is because they’re far less common than deer, so hunters just don’t get much experience seeing them. And part is just the nature of the beast. Any large, black carnivorous animal will look big, especially if you don’t have something for scale nearby.
