Food Plots improve Wild Turkey Populations
Experts with PlotSpike Seeds for Wildlife remind hunters not to forget
about their turkey populations after the season is over. Turkeys
have been known to travel 25 miles in search of palatable food sources.
Food plots are proven tools in turkey population management. Well-maintained
food plots help local flocks grow and will attract turkeys from other areas
to the plot area. Clover and vetches make good cool season plots
and a real favorite of turkeys, chufas, will make a great warm season plot.
Clover and vetches are planted in the spring and fall. PlotSpike
Clover Blend is easy to establish in soils with adequate moisture.
PlotSpike Clover blend contains 4 different clover, chicory and tiny vetch.
All of these plants grow in the cooler months of year and provide browse
in all but the coldest months of winter and the hottest months of summer.
Planted in the fall, these plots should hold turkey during in the spring
turkey season.
Some experts have described chufas as the perfect turkey food plot plant.
Chufa plants produce nut like tubers just under the soils surface.
These tubers are very nutritious having high levels of fat, protein and
carbohydrates. Turkeys love chufas and are known to destroy small
plots of chufas in their search for the delicious tubers. Chufas
will grow anywhere there is adequate soil moisture and 180 days or more
of frost-free weather. Chufas are perennials and will last several
years in warmer climates provided the plot is big enough to satisfy the
turkey population.

mixes and wildlife nutritional supplements. More information on chufas
