Can we get a video from Dillon on how to video your own hunts and what gear he recommends to get started
U have peaked my interest with this one Jeff. I do enjoy when u are standing in the food plot explaining. Great info. Thank you
Thanks a lot Mark, I really appreciate the feedback...we love planning all of this stuff out!
It’s springtime. Which means I binge whitetail habitat videos until November.
Ha, well I hope it helps!
As always, Jeff putting out some of the best information anywhere.
Thank you Craig, we really appreciate it!
Jeff. That killshot on Boe looked like lightning hitting him. So cool. Also just got a mathews vxr 31.5 used bc of you and Chris. Love it
That's awesome Travis...you will love that bow!! Very cool. And yes, ha that looked pretty cool on that shot for Bo!
A drone video showing the edges would be cool while you're standing in the plot and doing the video.
Dropping knowledge non stop man. You stay consistent.
Well I appreciate it...I hope it all helps!
Picked up a Packer Maxx thanks for the discount!
That's awesome Jeff, you will love it!
Absolutely spot on Jeff GREAT CLIP AS ALWAYS !
Thanks a lot Donald!
Does Jeff have any videos with more info on hunting big woods food plots where deer are treating them as a main food source?
Looks like maybe you could tuck a ground blind into that brush at the base of the stand tree, keeping an even lower profile? Enjoyed!
There is definitely plenty of cover!
👍👍
What about in big woods ? I have two small 1/4 plots. No big destination plot. Should we treat them like kill plots or destination plots since we are in big woods? Thanks jeff
I have the same question, have found the plots very attractive to deer but very hard to hunt given their draw even a 1/4 seems to be a destination
Totally different question than food plots, but we added a waterhole just off one of the bean field edges into the woods. We wanted to hold some of the bucks from heading to the river or nearby pond. However, and maybe this is common, it would become covered in debris and certainly by fall its covered in a layer of leaves. Do you have any recommendations for where and how to best position a water hole?
We added a blind platform last season off a small food plot and had no where near the daylight activity as the previous couple years when it was on the ground. My brother is fighting me cuz he wants to be able to see 30-40 yards downhill more. So frustrating. Sent him this video and told him to start watching at 2:30. Hopefully he listens to you better than me 🤷
I hope it helps TJ!
Are you recommending a brassica , alfalfa mix for fall plots? If so, what ratio of each?
Unless you are in the arid west, alfalfa is rarely a good plot by itself.
But in the end it depends on your region, # of deer, planting methods, size of plots, other food sources in the area.
Something green should always be your base. Something that blends attraction with the best chance of it making it thru the entire season. Always think that you have to have good attraction in November...
As a seed company owner I would recommend a blend to a person without knowing a LOT of information first! I hope it makes sense, but it would be very dishonest of me...
Have you ever seen anyone use segments of fencing to improve a property?
So much so that the mature bucks avoided the land! Over a mile of fencing on 40 acres. In most cases looks extremely trashy and there are better options that are more natural. Also, folks don't know when to quit, so the mature bucks end up avoiding a lot of fenced areas as it becomes too confining. I've gone to several lands that have been instructed to use fencing and diligently did so. Nearly all regret it and end up removing it. Not that it doesn't work in limited situations....just most of the time not appropriate.
How would you go about getting out of a stand in the evening if they are hanging out in the plot after dark? Just hang out or maybe have someone drive by on an atv?
Any plot I hunt on is very small, so it's just a pass thru for them. There is always something larger nearby so they don't hang out...
Thanks I might need a bigger plot or make the one I hunt smaller
Do you have recommended plantings that would help attract/hold turkeys, pheasants, and quail? Looking at a new place with a lot of open area and edges, would like to boost the gamebird population while still supporting the local whitetail herd.
The #1 thing we do to raise our grouse, turkey and pheasant populations has nothing to do with planting food plots. Instead, it's cover. Strips of switchgrass, pollinator, shrubs, briars and hardwood regen. Get those to happen and you will have great bird populations without any food plots...
Food plots should be for deer, with a carry over for birds. Perennials in small quantities. However, get the cover to happen as mentioned above and you will have birds.
We have lots of grouse, pheasants, rabbits and turkey poult and it has very little to do with our food plots 😉
Here in upstate NY you walk through that tall grass better go home and take shower you'll be full of ticks
That's just about the entire country 😉
First
Best way to make day light food plots is to not hunt the food plots.
Quite a bit more to it than that 😉
