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.

Plant in Early Summer For Fall Dove Fields

To ensure that you'll have doves to hunt during opening day of dove season, preparation of these areas needs to be on your schedule now. Corn is always a popular planting for doves but with so much of it used in ag production today, using something different can be just what the doves want to be on your property.

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.

Is Your Smartphone Ruining Your Hunting Experience?

That was an eye-opening moment for me. Have I really become so focused on instant gratification that I expected the turkeys to gobble on my time? That’s not how turkey’s work. You chase turkeys on their time. Once you understand that you are on their time, you will become more patient and you will become more successful.

Tough Turkey Hunting in Minnesota

Turkey hunting has been tough in Minnesota, from the time I was 13 years old until I was 21. The first year I turkey hunted, I called a gobbler in for a friend of mine and he harvested that bird.
