What would be some good food plots for our land in Dent County, Missouri?
Filed under: Food Plots
Question
I am a young hunter (16). I hunt about 15 miles away from montuak and the current river in the dent county area. I was wondering how to control a prescribed fire. And what would be other good food plots to add some variety to our 192 acres of land?
Jake,
That’s beautiful country!
The Missouri Department of Conservation offers great prescribed fire classes! I strongly suggest you attend one of those before using prescribed fire!
My favorite warm season food plot in the Ozarks is Eagle Seed forage soybeans. They are drought hardy, easy to grow, and deer love them! I use the Broadside blend for my cool season (fall) food plots. I have about 10% of my plots in clover as it’s productive before it’s warm enough to plant soybeans. However, clover rarely stays green and productive during the summer in the Ozarks.
Be very careful with fire and enjoy creation,
grant
