THE BEST FOOD PLOTS FOR TURKEY & DEER

In this video I go over what food plots are best to turkey hunt over and what food plots are best to increase the turkey numbers in your area. Turkeys and deer are very similar and benefit from many of the same food plots such as corn, soybeans, cereal grains, clover, alfalfa, nuts, and fruit.

Ok, Plot Professor, am I understanding you that just about any food plot is good for turkey and deer? Guess that makes perfect sense. 50 years ago back in the 1960's there weren't any turkey in Kentucky (other than a couple places). So seeing turkey in most of the farms and fields today is a real treat!!.

Yes most all food plots for deer also benefit the wild turkey, but there are some that benefit them more than others during the critical times. i do remember the same as you, when you never saw a wild turkey. There population has thrived since they released them around my neck of the woods! I’m not much into hunting them, but I know a bunch of folks really enjoy it! Thanks for watching, happy Easter!

Great video . The number of trappers is down across the board which was a huge help. The predator hunters in my area would have coyote hunting contests . That was a huge help. Yet Ny state has now banned any hunting contests like that. No coyote hunts, rabbit, woodchuck etc contests that would be put on at your local gun clubs or volunteer fire departments. We can still have fishing contests but that's it The turkey population in my area is doing well on my land but it's the same problem with the deer. The Amish are my neighbors and they kill everything. They are nice people but bad for the environment.

Yeah we have a lot of those contest as well here in KY, had a huge one last winter for raccoons specifically, it was unbelievable how many were brought it….no telling how many turkeys were saved from that one night alone! Glad to hear your turkey population is doing well! Thanks for watching

Good info Wes. It's that time of yea to hear the turkeys gobble and I heard my first gobble of the year this morning. I was half way through my first cup of coffee when I heard the gobble. I turned a little to see out of the kitchen window and there he was going from the lawn into the corn field. Great start to the day!

Nice! I’ve been watching them on the cameras, haven’t been out yet to actually hear any! But hopefully going to tag a couple longbeards soon! Thanks for watching!

What part of Kentucky do you live Wes? Hope you and your family are safe during this terrible weather.

[@DIYfoodplotpro]

Thanks brother! I appreciate that very much, we are in far western part of the state and it hasn’t been to bad here today!

Guess it is a good sign, but I hate those bastards. I have around 40 on my plots and. And man they destroy a lot of seeds and new plants.

[@DIYfoodplotpro]

Hahaha! Man you are absolutely correct! They can be bad on some food plot seed, especially when it’s broadcasted on top of the ground! They hammered my brassica seed that I interseeding into my standing corn! Thanks for watching!
