Deer food plots for fall plantings
When planning a fall food plot for deer include turnips in your seed mixture.
Often your hunting goals can be planned months in advance with some solid wildlife knowledge and basic farming skills. If attaching your hunting tag to a trophy buck is one of those must do things next season its not to early to start planning now.
With some many blends of food plot seed available the one seed you absolutely need for Canadian climate is turnips. After the first few frosts these hardy root vegetables will turn from starchy to sweet. It’s like candy to hungry buck! Of course a balanced food plot filled with annual and perennial seed mixtures with help ensure deer have a healthy diet long after the farmers crops have been harvested.
As a Pro-Staff member with Backyard Wildlife Products I have learned a lot from BYWL founder Steve Elmy on what satisfies and keeps a deer herd coming back to Backyard Wildlife food plots. Steve eleven years of research and experimentation in Canadian climates with blends of quality seed mixtures has many other deer food plot experts wondering how he achieves such awesome results
Steve also continues his education on forestry management through seminars with the Quality Deer Management Association.
I would think first as Steve and his wife Salina both hunt their farm on one of many specially blended food plots planted (as often as their busy schedule permits) they learned what plants work best through out the year. Naturally observation in the off seasons is just as important as the fall season. How a deer herd feed year round is just one example of why Backyard Wildlife Products work so well during the winter spring and summer.
Steve association with seed mills and agricultural laboratories helped him develop seed mixtures specially formulated for deer, turkeys and upland game. Most forest critters and song birds also enjoy the bounty of foliage and seed from his food plot planting. Many of the special blends of year round crops stand up to Canadian winters and summer droughts with surprising resistance.
