Title: Food plots on DNR land
Post by: AKBowman on April 20, 2010, 02:33:48 PM: Anyone know if its legal to plant a food plot on DNR or state land? Obviously I have some time on my hands on the weekends and want to try a little project with a half acre or so food plot. I'd like to plot (no pun intended) the results of my project on this site with pics and trail camera pics etc

If you can plant a plot does anyone know if there is a limitation as to the type of forage you can plant.

That said, you could contact the DNR and find out where they have planted forage plots and possibly even get in on some volunteer forage plot work so you knew first hand, good resource.
