Green Field Plantings for Extreme Weather

If you live in an arid area and want to plant a green field that will withstand high temperatures and little rainfall, I’d suggest planting LabLab. Remember that you need enough moisture in the soil to get the seeds to germinate and start putting down a strong root system. So, prepare your soils by doing a soil test, putting out the recommended lime and then watch the weather.

Why are the gobblers always on your neighbor’s property and not yours? The answer to that could be a number of reasons. You must look at what a turkey needs and on the other hand, things a turkey doesn’t like. The solution may be easier than you think. Just like all wild critters, they need food, water, cover and space.

Don’t Forget to Mow and Spray Herbicides

People have told me, “I hate to cut grass. So, why would mowing clover be a good idea?” If you mow the seed heads off the clover and alfalfa, you encourage new growth to appear and get a thicker, healthier plant.

What to Plant When and Why

If I only have one food plot that I can plant, I’ll probably plant an annual. In the spring, I’ll plant either BioMass or LabLab. In the late summer or early fall, I’ll rotate the crop into a cool season planting like BioLogic Maximum or BioLogic Outfitters Blend. However, if I have multiple plots, I’ll plant some of the fields in perennials, like clover, chicory and alfalfa. I’ll use my other food plots to plant

Grow Bigger, Better Bucks Right Now

I really believe that the most-overlooked yet easiest thing for a hunter or a landowner to do that dramatically can increase the yield on the crop planted for wildlife is to take a soil sample and send it off to be analyzed. You can save money by adding the ingredients your soil needs and not adding other ingredients that the soil doesn’t require. If you follow the advice from your soil test, this advice will

How to Talk Rio Grande Gobblers

If you like listening to turkeys talk, if you like hearing and seeing several gobblers during the morning and the afternoon hunt, if you dream about hearing 20 gobblers gobbling from one area, then a Rio Grande turkey hunt needs to be on your hunting agenda. The Rio Grande turkey is more likely to do what a turkey’s supposed to do, when a turkey’s supposed to do it, than an eastern gobbler is.

Watch The Weather and Watch Out

Winter hit hard and early in the Rocky Mountains this year. Late season hunts were all done in bitter conditions, proving again, that if you're gonna be in the chase, you better be prepared.

A Day of Hunting for Rio Grande Turkeys

Turkey hunting is much like bass fishing. There are some bass fishermen who are looking for that bass that’s ready to bite. Then there’s other bass fishermen who believe they can make any bass bite, whether the fish are hungry or not. They’ll stay in one area, be patient and continue to fish for that bass until they finally catch him. I’m not like this kind of bass fisherman.

Persistence Pays Off When a Rio Grande Turkey Hangs Up

Although you usually see and hear numbers of turkeys and get in places where gobblers show up, a Rio Grande turkey hunt won’t be an easy turkey hunt. One of the problems we have with Rio Grande gobblers is the really-open terrain. The gobbler expects to see a hen when he hears a hen. If he’s within 50 or 60 yards of a hen, he thinks that hen should walk to him. So, we’ve had

Paul Annear It’s hard to beat the attraction of a lush field of well maintained clover.
