Food plot question
« on: December 31, 2008, 01:15:24 PM »
Have recently got some property south of colville in addy. We have got a ton of turkeys and quite a few whitetails on it. Im gunna haul the tractor over this spring and start, my question is if anyone has planted food plots for wt's in that or a similar climate and had good luck? weve got a year round creek in the bottom that keeps about 40 of the acres moist even through the summer. I know the best thing to do is take ph samples and all of that noise, but i think im just gunna wing it......Any suggestions??? Thanks for any input!

I saw today at the bargain cave at Cabelas they have some ph testing kits for the "do it yourself guy" that were on about $7. If you are going to the effort why not get the best possible return on your investment. I have the contact info for the NWTF regional biologist if you would like it feel free to PM me and I will get it to you. I met him a couple years ago and he seemed like a pretty good guy so I kept his card as I too hope to do what you are sometime. Good luck.
