crown land food plot

[scotty30-06]

Question for you folks. ...is setting up a food plot or even planting fruit trees randomly through parts of the bush is illegal. ...just curious if it is ...and if its not has anyone tried it yet?

[monasheemountainman]

Not illegal.

[mwalter]

They dont enforce illegal grow shows so i would say zero risk of trouble. start spreading clover seeds down those roads

[scotty30-06]

Thats awesome news....I have a really good hook up for fruit tree saplings......and clover seeds are cheap.....use the clover seeds to leed them to the fruit trees habahha

[scotty30-06]

Wonder if they would just grow same and if rgey would start taking a spot over....dont wanna make an invasive problem

[Ohwildwon]

They need to be protected with a fence or they will be eatin alive :twisted:

[walks with deer]

clover seed isnt cheap.. white clover i think cost me about $500 a acre...

fruit tree sapling hook up sounds interesting

[sausage lover]

they will eat the trees to death before they can mature,a fence as Ohwildwon suggested is a must. They also love kale! Ate all ours to the root.

Scatter some winter wheat seed along the edge of newly opened roads.

You'd be well advised to read the Forest and Range Practices Act before you do any alteration to Crown land.

I'm quite positive you'd find that introducing any invasives like fruit trees or tilling soil without a permit will be verboten and subject to penalties.

Pay attention to Part 4 Div 3, and Part 5.

I would not worry about it. FD like to think of himself as an internet CO. He has all the laws at his fingertips and accusses of wrong doing even when the law clearly shows the hunter is in the right. He spouts BS about laws all the time. A classic keyboard warrior that doesn't have a clue what is going on out there in the 'great outdoors' because he spends so much time in the darkness of his mother's basement being a tuffguy online.

As for baiting with apples, if seed were to take hold, the deer will eat the young sapling long before it is recognizable as an apple sprout. Apple trees are pretty darn common in this province. Lots of wild ones on old abandoned homesteads that have been reverted to Crown.

"How come you get apples and we dont? We must have funny soil"

Hahaha. i've had 6 deer eating my 2 apple trees all year, still ended up way too many apples. Maybe you neighbour does have bad soil. ��

At least one person has a brain here.

Might be better to created a mineral site

[walks with deer]

purchasing alfalfa bails in late season wood most likley work better.

[brian]

Alfalfa is a one of those bloat causers. The animals rumens need time to adjust to it. Too much all at once and the deer will look like balloons. I wouldn't put down a bail of it in late season unless they have had access to alfalfa for a while.

[finngun]

When i was a kid one our cows ate frozen alfalfa and in the
morning poor cow looks like dead soccer ball..scary if that is gonna blow up....what is flying...��
