…..got me.
I went up to do a mock scrape on my food plot rubbing pole. When I walked out into the food plot I was astounded. Not a blade of oats, rye or buckwheat.
I talked to Woodmaster and a buddy he works with says that he’d bet it was Army Worms. I went back and looked at some trail camera pictures around the 15th of September and we had a decent stand of oats and rye.
Thank goodness the Army Worms didn’t eat the turnips and radishes too. They evidently don’t like them.
It is what it is…but this is a first for us. We’ve had oats knee high before.
The question now is - We don’t want a yearly repeat so what can we do to kill these suckers before they start?
