Zero crabgrass on this patch and a very small crop of johnson grass. I was amazed as well.
Something about crabgrass. I have a place on the Salt Fork that after wheat harvest (which didn't happen this year because of drought) always has a great stand of crabgrass which the neighbor that runs a hay business comes in and swathes then bales.
Zero crabgrass on that property as well. Don't know what to say caused that this season.
Anyone ever have good luck with straight radishes and turnips planted in Oklahoma? I know they are good for after the freezes start but I was wondering how they are around rifle season. Thanks for any input!
It depends on weather. If it it freezes before rifle season then they would have a pretty good draw during rifle season. I have watched deer chowing with leaves hanging out of there mouth when I was bundled up for rifle season. Other years I was in a t shirt and could have worn shorts.
Exactly. The typical fall freeze sometimes doesn't happen until rifle season, so food plots planted with varieties of rape or brassica's are useless for Bow and Muzzleloader season.
My 4X4 Fall Mix perrenials do not rely on needing a freeze to make the food plots attractive to the deer and they are drought tolerant too. Bowhunter I tried calling you today. The deer have spent the summer in my BFO/4X4 blend feeding on the perrenials. I see them nightly feeding just before dark.
When’s everyone gonna start planting their fall plots? I’m doing 2 acres of the Ross’s mix on September 7th on my place out east. Looks like lots of rain starting on the 8th.

Eastern side of state is pretty forgiving, humid, little wind, better soil, makes for a pretty large planting window. Wheat and other grasses aren't usually planted for crop on that side of the state till mid October, or after soybean harvest, which is about the same time. Farmer's time frame isn't the same as us hunters looking to poke a deer October 1 though lol 
I'm planting around Sept 1 If I can get in there after all these rains.
I want a good growth of red winter wheat by October 1 which is the start of deer season. All the farmers around my patch are planting my spring plots.

Made it to the food plot today to get it worked up. Disked it two months ago and you wouldn’t know it by the jungle that was in there.
