Bow plots

Post by Iluv2hunt » Wed Aug 14, 2013 8:58 pm

Wondering if I should plant bow plots this weekend, or wait till labor day weekend. The spring plots are pretty much gone from the hogs, turkeys and monsoons. Bow season opens Sept 14. If I plant now that's 4 weeks til season. If I wait till Labor day, that only gives me 2 weeks of growth.
I will be planting a mixture of: what is left over from my spring mix, plus a bag of a pea/bean mix I got at BPS, and aeschynomene.

These are going to be early season/ bow plots. I will be doing oats/clover probably the weekend before muzzleloader in October.These are also small plots so browsing traffic could be heavy

I normally try to have things planted somtimes in the last two weeks of August myself an normally pray for rain. But this year I don't think that you'll need many prayers. Aeschynomene is normally a spring crop that will grow all summer for heavy browse in the fall. My self I'd save that stuff till spring and ploant the rest.
