Quail

Best For: Deer, Turkey, Dove, Pheasant, Rabbit, and Quail

Plants 1 Acre

Type: warm season annual mixture

Uses: Like quail, turkeys need good habitat for brood-rearing and feeding areas. WingMaster Wild Turkey seed mixture produces abundant seed and in turn insects to meet these needs. Turkey poult diets, for the first few weeks, consist primarily of high protein insects so areas attractive to insects are critical to their survival. In addition, a healthy turkey population will need a variety of plant matter to provide seed, leaves, tubers, fruits, forbs and grasses for a consistent year round food supply. Pennington's WingMaster Wild Turkey Mixture includes millets, grain sorghum, Buckwheat, Chufa, White Clover, and Prairie Grass which are a combination of plant species meeting those needs in addition to proving excellent habitat, cover, and brood-rearing areas. In a staggered effect, this seed mixture will have plants maturing and dropping seed to the ground from late spring throughout fall and winter. Over a long period of time from about 50 days after germination in late spring and extending into the winter, WingMaster will provide an abundant supply of seed, tubers, leaves, other plant material and insects. In addition through its perennial plant components this seed mixture will continue to produce seed, grasses, leaves, insect and habitat for years to come.

In addition, turkeys will benefit from openings. Both large and small permanent openings are needed for good habitat. Proper management of these openings will consist of fall or winter disking every three years. This disking should be the beginning of a 3-year vegetative succession of habitat stages. The first year should be WingMaster food plot establishment in the spring, followed by letting this area remain idle for the next two years. Establishing food plots across your property in a staggered or delayed process is best. For example, having your openings divided up into thirds, will allow for one third to be planted this year, while two thirds lay idle. Taking the oldest idle plots back into food plots every third year will keep your plots rotated, fresh, manageable, and full of insects.

Uses: The mourning dove is a migratory game bird that has four basic habitat needs: food, cover, water and grit. These habitat needs must be met to produce more local nesting birds and to attract migratory birds during the season. With the popularity of dove hunting on the rise, hunting clubs and field managers are seeking ways to compete with nearby fields. Planning, understanding the birds and providing necessary habitat will go a long way toward having a successful hunt. Doves also need a water source within one mile of their food source. In addition doves need grit (small bits of gravel and larger grains of sand) in their diets to help grind food in the gizzard. Gravel roads and roadsides are a perfect location for birds to find this grit. Doves are seed eaters with about 99% of their diet in late summer and fall made up of seed. Pennington's WingMaster Dove Mixture is a combination of small seeded millet, grain sorghum and sunflower that will provide a plentiful supply of seed for doves. This seed combination will mature in a staggered effect with some plants producing seed in as little as 60 days while others take 110 days. It is important to plant WingMaster Dove mixtures no later than May 15 so the plants will have time to mature and shatter seed. Later plantings or time-delayed plantings are preferred if late season hunts and additional field manipulation is required.

Uses: Want more quail? Provide habitat for brood-rearing, nesting, loafing, roosting, and protection from predators and inclement weather and they will come. Food plots that produce open ground at chick level with overhead cover make ideal areas for quail chicks to be effective insect predators. With over 90% of chicks' diets made up of high protein insects its first few weeks of life, insect producing areas are critical to their survival. In addition, a healthy quail population will need a good supply of seed producing plants to provide a consistent year round food supply. Pennington's WingMaster Quail Mixture is a combination of seed producing plants that will provide an excellent food source, cover, and brood-rearing areas. These seed producing plants include Proso millets, Browntop millet, and Sunflower. Throughout the late spring and summer months WingMaster Quail mixture will be producing seed for foraging quail. In a staggered effect, this seed mixture will have plants maturing and dropping seed to the ground over a long period of time. From about 60 days after germination in early summer and extending into the winter, WingMaster will provide an abundant supply of seed.
