At GrowingDeer.tv we're all about showing hunters what we are doing each week in the field as we work on our Proving Grounds and others to have better deer hunting! If The hunting strategies and techniques we show can be used if you are hunting public or private land. Our farm has wild, free-ranging deer. If we can grow big antlers on these tough Ozark Mountain bucks, you can too! Good wildlife management tactics, deer management, and food plots with regenerative ag techniques that build better soils! Watch our weekly episodes to see what we're doing, the advice that Dr. Grant Woods (Ph.D Wildlife Biologist) has to share along the way.
If you haven't watched many of our hunting and land management videos, here are a few reviews from our viewers:
Donnie: Best teaching channel on UA-cam!! It's like a class and lab all in one.
Mike: The videography adds complexity and probably makes the hunts a bit less enjoyable for you, but we genuinely appreciate the work you folks do to help educate us. I’ve been an avid hunter for over 50 years, yet I’ve never met another avid hunter who couldn’t teach me something. Thank You all.
Drew: Awesome to follow the stories that go along with the Growing deer channel. Ive been watching so long i feel like I'm part of the growing deer family! Love it
Check out more of the comments on our hunting and land management videos, then share the ones you enjoy with friends!
Thanks for watching GrowingDeer!
Love Grant woods he is a true genius like Abraham Lincoln and knows it to. Thankyou sir!!!!
Thanks Chris!
Is putting small amounts of corn from the store a good thing the corn is cracked feed corn
Rikki - If you are just now starting to feed, it's very important to start very slowly - small amounts - which means deer will waste energy fighting over the corn. It's a very tough time of year to start feeding.
@@GrowingDeerTV I not going to start now. but some what in the end summer and the start of fall in to the deer season?
Love this channel . I have had the pleasure of meeting Dr grant in person at ATA . He took the time to talk to me answer some questions that I had . He is just a good person. Growingdeer channel makes me fervent for deer hunting , Grow food plots and just keep the deer healthy . Thanks Dr Grant keep up the good work .
Jason - I hope our paths cross again soon!
Time to plant the groceries!
Yes it is!
Good call in your neck of the woods. Central Texas is still parched.
Ouch! I hope it rains soon!
Looks like you did get your rain!!
Yes - we are blessed!
@@GrowingDeerTV awesome! That's great to hear, here in Virginia I have received timely rain over the last month just when the food plot needs it. This is my first year planting what I call a "real" food plot and I hope I'm not just getting spoiled, brassicas, winter peas, and winter wheat are all thriving!
Planted brassicas 4 days ago. The rain came for couple days and it has germinated nicely.
Excellent!
Is the summer blend you mentioned available? What’s in it?
Zach - I try to refine my blends very year and will share the blends I'm going to plant early this spring.
Dr. Grant, for those of us who don’t have the expensive equipment like the Genesis drill, what other, than the board can we use to crimp the present planting
For the next planting, wether spring or fall. Maybe a landscape rake? Thank You.
Joseph - We've shared some of our hand tool techniques in the past. Ideally the soil isn't disturbed. Using glyphosate to terminate the existing crop and/or prescribed fire is a way to make a good seedbed without disturbing the soil. Both these techniques leave the roots in place that adds lot of organic matter to the soil and when they decompose the root channels serve as perfect tillage and aeration of the soil, which allows the right amount of oxygen in and water to infiltrate versus pond or run off. We be planting plots using these techniques soon and we'll try to share our processes and results with you!
We get regular afternoon rain showers here in SC Grant. My throw and go hidey hole is on their second leaves. Ive got another big push for the rest of my food plots to be done before end of September. I use your advice. I plan on foot crimping and seeding another hidey hole plot in an opening I found on a friend’s property while scouting. He likes the idea and appreciates all the help making his property better. He’s still new to hunting and I relish the opportunity to mentor him.
Take care my friend.
William - you friend is blessed to have you mentor him!
Planted today as well!
Great!
Such an informative video! Hopefully I will have the facilities to implement this in the future
Caleb - Thanks for the kind words!
Planted my food plot this weekend here in Tennessee. The rains came and after just 4 days it’s jumping out of the ground.
I’m hoping the weeds are suppressed enough not to over take my food plot.
Planted winter wheat, winter rye, winter peas and some Daikon radish mixed in. It’s looking great so far.
Congratulations! Sounds like you are in for a fun season!
looks like you timed that just right. It missed me unfortunately. Might not get to plant at all this year in central/west Texas
I hope it rains there soon!
Love this channel just wish I had a place to plant like this. Or that I could ever get my first deer lol.
Spencer - Thanks for watching and I hope you tag several deer this fall!
If you go out to cut something or plant etc, should you still spray yourself down for your scent or could you just go out there and get work done?
Connor - We just work!
GrowingDeer.tv thanks!!
Try buck wheat or sun hemp. Bushog multiple times a year to increase your thatch layer. Works great. Don’t forget to work on your TSI either 🤔
TSI - Native habitat is important!
Are you looking to use the test blend as a way to start new plants in spring, not having to wait till fall to plant the Buffalo system blend, then planting the buffalos blend in the fall and beans in spring?
Brian - I always plant a both warm and cool season crops!
Is the experimental summer blend going to be available to the public?
Jason - I learned a lot, will change the receipt next year and try again. It's usually takes a few seasons to created a good blend!
Hey grant could you do an experiment where you spray a part of a sorghum field with water so that it breaks down faster and leave part of it dry to show the comparison to a wet plant breaking down to a dry plant breaking Down @growingdeertv
Trace - good idea but I don't believe we can spray that much. 1" of rain per acre is about 22,000 gallons!
Would you recommend a No-Till Drill for very rocky areas in the Missouri Ozarks (Shannon County)? We have a few hard to reach areas that have some Large size rocks/boulders that I'm afraid would damage the drill. Normally, we disc and plant winter wheat.
Jase - if the rocks aren't hurting the disc, A quality drill should roll over them without issue! My place is just north of Branson and is very rocky!
Hey Grant. How long did you wait between the Roundup application and planting the new seed. Is there any risk of the chemical affecting the new crop?
no, roundup doesn’t have a residual effect
Jermey - GulfHunter is correct - Roundup doesn't have a residual effect.
Do you feel at some point you will improve the soil to be able to plant beans?
Great video!
Sean - we grow great beans now where they are protected. The limiting factor to grow beans in most places is the number of deer browsing and damaging the plants.
The one thumbs down was from the drought.
OK
What planting rate do you typically use for the fall blend?
We planted 72 pounds per acre.
Man I cringed watching you drill through those beautiful Eagle Seed beans! However much respect to the concept of the outcome of the finished product in that buffet plot 👍 I hope you guys got the expected rain.
Raining now!
so i don't own a drill, can i still crimp and roll over the old crop and use a spreader to seed?? Do i have to overseed to compensate for the seeds not getting good soil contact?
Adam - If there's lots of vegetation on the soil many seeds will germinate but die before their roots reach the soil. It would be better to broadcast into the standing vegetation and then crimp or spray.
@@GrowingDeerTV excellent. I will give that a try next spring. Thanks and good luck out there guys!!
I live in central Arkansas and it’s been extremely dry for a month straight. The tropical storm from hurricane Laura brought 5 inches of rain and there’s a rain chance in the forecast for the next 3-5 days. Should I plant my brassica, wheat, & clover mix now or wait a couple weeks based on my location?
It's about time to plant at that location!
GrowingDeer.tv thanks for replying! I just planted and rain is on the way!
So how long of a growing period did you give the sorghum and was it a grain variety or forage variety? I tried doing something similar with buckwheat but the growing period is so short it didn’t last until I was ready for my fall plot even though I didn’t plant until the first week in June.
It was a tall forage variety and it was planted during late May. Buckwheat is very palatable to deer and matures in 70 days.
You havent known deer to eat sorghum because you kill it before it seeds. Deer eat it by the head full here in SC.
Steven - are you talking about Milo or tall sorghum?
I’ve never messed with any of the hybrid plot screens. All I’ve ever known is grain sorghum. Never once heard it called milo. Maybe it’s a difference of where we’re from. Idk but deer eat the grain heads around here that’s for sure. Here’s an article I found by QDMA that might help us. www.qdma.com/grain-sorghum-deer/

I planted beans and clover 2/12 mon. Ago and a Sorghum/ Sudan blend for cover. Last night I checked. The beans and the clover were 36” high. And the Sorghum/ Sudan was nIpped to the ground - 200#s. What Now ?
Dan - Wow! I've never seen or heard of deer preferring sorghum over beans! What state?
GrowingDeer.tv Texas-
What did you guys plant????
Eagle seeds fall Buffalo blend.
Josh is correct - Eagle Seed Fall Buffalo Blend
@@GrowingDeerTV what seeds are in the blend is the question. I put in wheat rye buckwheat peas radish red, white & crimson clover, chicory & kale.
