How To Create The PERFECT Food Plot

Just because your food plot is pretty and green, doesn't necessarily mean that it is the perfect food plot. Is your food plot actually even helping the local deer herd? The value of the food plots that you offer has very little to do with with what you plant and a whole lot more to do with when you plant.

Well I’ve been following you teachings for a while ! Just got 600 acres in the heart of the Adirondacks. This is gonna be one big learning curve

I am a new-ish hunter and I don't do food plots (Yet. Still learning the ropes) but I just wanted to say thank you so much for all of the knowledge and great content on this channel and on your website. Every video and article I have viewed has been informative, clear and in depth. I haven't had anyone to learn hunting strategies and techniques from and you have helped me a great deal with figuring out deer behavior, patterns and the general ins and outs of deer hunting. I can't wait for the season to start!

I just started planting food plots a couple years ago and I am learning so much by watching your food plot videos. Thank you Jeff for all your helpful videos.

No one explains habitat management like Jeff! Can't thank you enough for your advice! And by the way those drone shots are awesome!!

Jeff, I have to say your content is outstanding! I feel mentored, when I take in your advice. Thank you truly!

I have cash crop all around me. This video was extremely helpful not to mention saved me a pile of money. I think I just need to do brasca plots.

Thanks Jeff. The most in-depth explanation I have heard yet. I failed with my spring food plots (planted too late with poor germination {drought} but I changed tactics with my fall plots (Turnips & Oats) and am holding deer really well now in December.

Good common sense food plot information! Thanks!

[KingJonXVII]

I love your videos, although I would love to see your take on southern states.

[shawnmyers]

Very informative video. I've always been into fertilizing oak trees, Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. Always looking 4wrd to that next video to go up. Thanks again.

Jeff, your videos are excellent! They have changed a lot of my thinking about food plots, especially what's in them and when to plant them. How about advice or a video for food plot strategies in the southeast...North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia? I assume the plantings would be different especially the timing. Keep up the good work!

Great video. Great info all makes alot of sense. We have a parcel that after November theres NO food on it mostly all phrag so we r puttin as much green as possible in now.

[karlherman]

Love your videos. I own a property in northern Missouri and asking when is the best time to hang a grapevine for a rub?

[bedwards]

Makes a lot of sense to me. What about big woods ?

What premergent for newly clears cutover with lots of weeds and small trees

[farmboy]

High value information for the deer manager .Thanks and great informational channel. I enjoy the advanced knowledge.! Eastern NC hunter here. Varies by region but very applicable.

What should I be plenty to do just that here in Vermont I am surrounded by agriculture Haley and not much corn is some corn around but not close to me what can I plant to help my dear virgin survive the winter and keep them on my property or close to my property thanks any input greatly appreciated

Would planting blackberries be good for deer, I have this one acre with highline wires, I can not plant trees for cover, and other ideas ?

[bayview]

Question. I plant food plots in August every year in preparation for November. In the spring I till my food plots as they are not perennial. I then till again every month or so till august to keep weeds down. Would it be better to plant some sort of cover crop in the spring and then till in august?

[tonybarrell]

Jeff, this is another one of you very informative videos that leads me to believe planting clover or anything for that matter in the spring is useless. Is this true? I will have approximately 4 acres I can use for food plots on my 50 acre hunting property. Is it work dedicating one of the acres to a real nice wallet clover plot? What about a clover mix, say with maybe some alfalfa or hickory mixed in? Let me know what you think when you get a chance please. Thanks and as always you videos rock!
