Manage Invasive Plants for a Variety of Wildlife
Our section of Indiana has quite a bit of bush honeysuckle and wintercreeper – both invasive species. We believe that if we can get rid of much of those invasive species we can increase the variety of wildlife we have on our land. Honeysuckle isn’t a bad plant, until it becomes so thick that animals can’t move through it. It does have some value for wildlife; however, it’s a very aggressive growing plant that can

Wild Turkey Recipe: Grilled Southwestern Wild Turkey Roll
Grilling wild turkey can be challenging. There are a handful of crafty methods for retaining moisture and tenderness in your bird while it’s resting over a pile of dry, smoky coals. This recipe employs a few of them: pounding, marinating and foil tenting. By pounding out the breast, you can cook the meat faster at a higher temperature without giving it too much time to dry out. Marinating in milk puts lactic acid to work

Over-Seed Deer Plots with Clover for Turkeys
After our hunting club plants its green fields for deer, I’ll get a bag spreader of Mossy Oak BioLogic’s Non-Typical Clover and walk those food plots with a hand-cranked seed spreader. I’ll spread the clover seed over one corner or one small finger of the field. Clover is a productive food for both deer and turkeys. When the annuals that are planted to hunt over during deer season die off, the clover still will be

What to Plant Now for Deer, Ducks and Turkeys
We begin planting food plots for deer at this time of the year, in the early summer. We’re planting some Mossy Oak BioLogic BioMass. This blend has a mixture of soybeans, iron clay peas, and Lablab. This very nutritious blend can be planted in the spring and summer. These plants produce a high protein food that helps bucks build stronger and bigger antlers, and it’s really good for the does that are nursing fawns.

Clover Provides Year-Round Food for Wildlife
You may think that using herbicides, fertilizers and possibly a second herbicide treatment during the off-season is a lot of work and a lot of expense. However, if you can get several years of utilization out of your clover fields instead of having to replant every year, you may save some money and time. Clover can provide almost year-round food for wildlife with good weather and proper maintenance.

Turkey Season in Minnesota Through Late May
In Minnesota, hunters have multiple turkey seasons from the middle of April until the end of May. However, a hunter only can take one bird per season.

The last turkey season starts in mid-May and runs through May 31, which gives a hunter 16 days then to
