ok, so unfortunately Im passing a kidney stone and jacked on the good stuff so Im taking time to sit down...
anyway, like I mentioned in another post, Ive got 'tons' of private property down east that has about 50/50 fields and timber/pine thicket. its way sweet to hunt on as its almost always soybeans. well the new guys that farm the place put out cotton this year and plan to do so often (fags!). I know the allure that apples and persimmons have on deer and I dont have them, but Ive got more huge/mature white oaks that I dont know what to do with- too many to hunt just one tree. what I would like to do is plant small persimmon and apple groves out there this year, but what else? what kinds of creeping berry vines would suit the rocky mount area (dry and sandy). Ive got a couple small creeks that meander through, so thats something else to plant in that would have some water year-round. what else do turkeys like besides chufa? is overplanting the vacant areas with clover as simple as it sounds? trying to keep food out all year thats not a 'food plot' as thats always been kinds pointless with beans as far as you can see. I want a more permanent type thing. trees and bushes just kinda do their thing. whats best? what would you put out / or NOT put out if you were in this position. cost is important but Im in it for the long term, so thats not a real big concern. cotton-planting farmer is buying this stuff!
