Planting for Deer, Turkey, rabbits and other tasty things..
Does any one have any ideas or suggestions on planting for small and large game. Particularly where to buy seeds in the Monore area at wholesale prices. I have been buying my seeds at Wallmart but they only sell small bags that cost $1 each and have very little seed in them. I want to buy seeds by the pound at wholesale prices. The goal is to attract Deer, Turkey, Rabbits and Bears.
I did buy a 20 lb bag of corn seed intended as deer feed and started spreading that around. Any reason why that would not grow? Seed is Seed right?
Thanks for any help and advice.Last edited by tsafa; March 25th, 2010 at 10:38 AM.

I could get products from a supply warehouse near by. They have all different types of products you can plant. They also sell the deercain, c meer deer, and products like that. If your interested pm me and i'll see what I could do. Let me know what you might be interested in. Would be better as a group buy maybe.

The first vehicles normally on the scene of a crime are ambulances and police cruisers. If you are armed you have a chance to decide who gets transported in which vehicle, if you are not armed then that decision is made for you.
Be prepared, because someone else already is and no one knows their intent except them.

Re: Planting for Deer, Turkey, rabbits and other tasty things..
IIRC, the best thing for deer is "browse." If you trim, fruit trees in particular, you can leave the branches on the ground and the deer will eat the small twigs and other stuff they like. Deer, rabbits, etc. love acorns so you might want to not cut down existing oak trees. The guys at Canfields Agway on Lower Main Street, in Stroudsburg are usually pretty knowledgeable and might have other suggestions as far as planting stuff goes. HTH
edited to add, if you want to attract game, and have some extra acreage, leave it natural. Animals like cover and letting the grass grow will provide an environment for them to thrive in. Keep in mind that if they do thrive, you may then get predators like hawks, bobcats, foxes, and coyotes.Last edited by NEPAKevin; March 25th, 2010 at 11:30 AM.

haha okay just making sure.
If you bought corn kernels they may not be able to grow, its also not a very good plant to grow for bring in the deer as it is pretty much worthless for 90% of the time when its growing and has a very limited food supply when it is finally ready
you'd do much better with clover type plants which will normally grow back after being chewed on. Also keep in mind depending on what you plant you may need to plant several different batches throughout the year.

also its important to keep in mind how much a deer can eat and how quickly your food plot may be decimated. if you are doing a small plot (under 1/2 an acre) you'll probably have to replant it a few times or the deer will just move on.The first vehicles normally on the scene of a crime are ambulances and police cruisers. If you are armed you have a chance to decide who gets transported in which vehicle, if you are not armed then that decision is made for you.
