Planting a Fall Wildlife Food Plot

One trick hunters use to attract wildlife, is to plant a fall food plot. On hunting leases or managed land, hunters compete against each other to offer deer the most attractive food. Some hunters go all out. They bring a tiller or tractor to the lease, till up the ground, fertilize, and then plant the seeds.

What kind of seeds are planted?

Any type of plant that can withstand cold temperatures. However, the word "cold" is subjective. Here in southeast Texas, 20 degrees is cold. In other regions, 20 degrees is a walk in the park.

Usually, something along these lines are planted:

Rye grass.
Oats.
Turnip greens.
Rutabagas.
Clover.
Winter barley.
Winter wheat.
