Anyone else getting a little anxious to get there 2007 food plots going? I've been staring at the tractor for the last week.
Just hope we have a relatively dry spring as I want to get going as soon as possible.

I am anxious as well. I don't really have much land to work with, but it is fun trying to optimize the habitat! I will be starting ASAP!!!

I've heard deer love sugar beets. Surveyor friend of mine plants them mid summer and says the deer tear up the ground to get to them. Might have to incude them in this year's food plot.

Heck, won't hurt to try those sugar beets. Always interesting to see how new things work out.
