We have a lease in Woodward Co., Oklahoma (northwest Oklahoma), that we want to plant food plots on. It's just shy of 1,000 acres, very uneven land with mostly hard red clay soil. The temps tend to be at one extreme or the other with limited rainfall. To make matters worse there are a large amount of range cattle on the property throughout the year with the exception of deer season (Nov/Dec). We'll have to be very selective on placement of our plots to keep the cattle from trampling them. That in itself will give us very small areas to work with. We'd appreciate any recommendations you might give us on what to plant that will provide good variety and nutrition for deer and turkey. Our hope is that you can suggest plants that the cattle will turn their noses up at.
What is the best seed to use by broadcasting with your hand, no plowing needed, in rocky low, sunlight areas, that will create good forage for whitetails?
What is the best thing to plant around or in your pond to draw ducks? And how do you plant it?
What would be the best choice of food plot seeds to choose from? What works better, Clover or Chicory Plus? Thanks.
