So today started my journey on a whitetail institute clover food plot! The plot is about a half of an acre. We dozed out the area and got a few small trees out of the way and now the flat is completely open and in a good spot. We then sowed recommended lime and fertilize before later applying the seed. My main question is this, I have had a ton of turkey in that area where my feeder sits at the very end of the flat. Turkey have been coming to that feeder like crazy. My biggest fear is that the turkey will roam from that feeder and find fresh dirt with clover seed in it and eat all the seeds before they germinate. Because of this reason I sowed 1.5 acres worth of seed on this half acre plot hoping to overseed enough to where the turkey will at least not eat all of the seed and maybe it won't hurt if they do get some of them because I overseeded so much. What are your guys thoughts on this? Anyone else had a bunch of turkey grazing their plot before it germinated and had good luck? Any advice and input would be appreciated.
Thanks!
