It’s not too late to get your 2013 food and cover plot in the ground. A cool, wet spring has delayed planting across much of the country. Order from Pheasants Forever’s line of Signature Series Food and Cover Mixes, enjoy free shipping* and you’ll have seed in hand as planting conditions arrive.
Food and cover plots are important for pheasants, quail, deer, turkeys and other wildlife, creating a necessary food source when those brutal winter conditions arrive. Food and cover plots also create habitat, adding depth and character to the winter cover you plant them next to. And for sportsmen, food plots are excellent locations for wingshooting and deer and turkey hunting.
Pheasants Forever Signature Series Food and Cover Mixes include:
Blizzard Buster, Covey Rise and Early Longtail Milo – Great sorghum blends with super food value that pheasants and quail love. Early Longtail Milo matures in just 85 days.
Winter Shield, Rooster Booster, Winter Survival, Dove & Quail and Western Food & Cover – These diverse mixes include sorghums, corn, millet, & buckwheat for great food, cover, hunting and habitat.
Dove Kandy is Pheasants Forever’s premium sunflower blend for your shooting fields. Maturity is right around 100 days.
Bird & Buck Clover and Bird & Buck Whitetail & Gamebird – green browse mixes that are great deer and turkey forage and double as excellent pheasant and quail brood habitat.
Remember, there is still plenty of time to order your food and cover mixes. In most areas, Pheasants Forever can help you find a mix that will work even if planted in mid-June.
