May can be a busy month if you are staying active with land management. The heavy spring rains have really made things start growing. The natural tendency is to start cleaning up and cutting the grass. Be very careful if you have turkeys in the area. Every year we hear about turkey nest that get destroyed by early cutting. Wait, wait, wait, and give those eggs time to hatch. If you could make it until early June, that would be great. Gardens need to be plowed and prepared for planting. If you plan to plant Chufa, this is the time to get it in the ground. Chufa needs 90-100 days of frost free growing time. Summer food plots are great for all game species. The summer crop usually provides more protein throughout the entire summer. This is also the time to spray herbicides for grass control. Most people stop feeding the wildlife during the summer, but if you will continue to feed protein and corn, you will be rewarded. Do you remember the baseball movie “Field of Dreams” comment, “if you build it, they will come”? The same goes for good wildlife habitat, “if you build it, they will come”.
