Last weekend, I planted 5 food plots specifically for bow hunting accounting for about 4 acres. These plots consist of buckwheat and iron and clay peas (cow peas) and are strategically placed in front of our bow stands. We have witnessed that our bucks love the buckwheat when it comes to flower about 30 to 45 days into the growing season. Look at the buck photos below to see one of our past mature bucks chewing on buckwheat.
The deer love to eat the green leaves of the iron and clay peas. We plant these for the green plant not expecting to ever make any actual peas. Hopefully these two mixtures will get some rain and attract some deer within bow range during the upcoming season (September 11).
