Grew quite a bit from last year to this year. I contribute much of his gain to adequate rainfall after 4 years of drought, and he did it all on his own with no supplemental feeding. I own 360 acres surrounded on two sides by cow pasture and two sides by federal wetlands. I have a couple "up and comers" on camera, and I'm planning to plant about 50 acres of food plots this spring. I would like to improve my odds of another good buck next year. Black eyed peas and alfalfa . Leave the peas and cut the alfalfa. One cutting will pay for both food plots. You can use a custom baler and do it on the halves.

I thought about alfalfa, but I figured it would be too expensive. I've had a local farmer suggest cow peas and milo, but I'm still not sure what I'm going to do yet.

You should be able to get more than one year out of an alfalfa planting in that area. More cost intially to plant but then if you get 3-5 yrs would be well worth it. Might try 10 acres this first year along with the cowpeas or soybean and or milo. You could have the milo/beans harvested or baled also.

I thought about alfalfa, but I figured it would be too expensive. I've had a local farmer suggest cow peas and milo, but I'm still not sure what I'm going to do yet. I get three years just east of you in Pawnee/Osage. But I got where I was lightly overseeding every other year. Looking at 50-75 acre for seed. If you want to hold off a little bit mix turnips and peas on the whole thing. That will usually add year for every year you decide to run alafafa. Lots off guys do a 5 year rotation. Turnips or any bulb will put a lot of of goodies into the soil that alafafa thrives on. Biggest thing with alafafa is fertilizer, army worms and drought. A good alafafa feild in that areas is a death plot  I wouldn't even bother with milo.

What kind of Excalibur crossbow and broad head were you using? I'm shooting a Matrix 380 and Boltcutter 150 gr broadheads. I've killed 4 deer and a turkey with that bow and 34 deer and two turkeys with those broad heads. They have served me well.
