Create A Better Food Plot Edge

Here is how you can create a better food plot edge! Creating a food plot edge is the first step in creating for bedding that eventually leads to buck bedding. What is edge feathering? Well that term I'd used very loosely to describe anywhere from a wall of logs to an actual feathered food plot edge. Here is how to make sure you are on the right path to a beautiful food plot edge this season...

Happy Spring morning all. Nice rain this morning in SE MN.

Happy Spring Ben!

I took your advice for a water hole on my 5 acre parcel and it was an absolute game changer. Also I live in Florida up in the panhandle and I know your environment and mine are different. So I try and adapt toy place. Thank you for great content.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

That's awesome to hear Ron...thank you!

[@TheSmithtj80]

We've owned our 87 acres since 2011 in SW WI and we've had a turkey explosion this year! So awesome to see and without a doubt, your advice help make it happen. Thanks Jeff!

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Man that's really exciting to hear TJ!

[@mikebutler5317]

Your input has been a yearly book of how to do it. Extremely helpful. The depth of cover and the development of deer specific locational positions to food is so critical. I have hinge cut trees around plots as well as the associated travel corridors. I still need to add water holes near the mock scrapes. First of the three summer sprayings in a couple weeks. Based on previous years scouting of most recent travel patterns, thus stand relocation comes next before too much green up. Great time of the year.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

It is a great time of the year Mike...awesome to hear how much you are getting accomplished. Your efforts will certainly be rewarded!

[@timhatfield6367]

You might check with Jeff, but I think you're supposed to keep your water holes and mock scrapes separate so they both can be main attractions instead of making them one?

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Sorry a little late today guys and gals!
Oh...and 1st 😁

[@bowman8316]

No that's funny ! 😂🤣👍🏻

[@janitorialguy4436]

Thanks Jeff, I let my edge grow up last year it made a big difference

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

That's really good! So cool how it helps so many other species

[@brianlenneman5032]

Very important to start by the food plots and work your way back deeper. Need to make the doe bedding first!!

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Amen Brian!

[@dswish1730]

Great advice as always.Thanks guys

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Thanks a lot D!

Any experience in wolf territory? Do you find they are less predictable? Mature big woods bucks in heavy wolf territory, maybe the hardest thing to get close to imo. Any change in your plot and/or bedding strategy?

Someone built a small plot with a 20 yard strip of timber between it and a field what would you recommend to do for that small of a strip of woods

[@robbiegillette6134]

Good video. quick question how close would you put a food plot to a 2-track that gets driven down 2-3 times a day. Located in the UP of Michigan?

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Thanks Robbie! I would create a food plot there if you can't in any way see the plot...
At least 20 to 30 yards away as well? Enough distance that if you walked by on the 2 track you would not spook deer on the inside.

[@bjm8315]

I’ve watched nearly all of your youtube content and recently bought 40 acres here in SO IL and plan on putting some food plots in this season
Quick question about weed control for a new land owner and newbie to food plots. I’ve got the Glyphosate 41% and the 2,4-D that’s recommended but do you mix the 2 into the same 25 gallon spraying? You might have mentioned this on one of your videos but I can’t seem to find it
Thank you

Jeff, can switchgrass grow among white pines? Sandy soil,, A lot of white pine trees

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

No they can't...switch needs full sun, unfortunately!

[@btlietz]

Any tips on how to get a lazy brother in law out there to help on the hunting land? Lol! 😂

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

No work...no hunting? 😂

[@mikebutler5317]

Yep, just tell him it took you so long to complete deer chores, you have decided to let the deer grow a year and not hunt...LOL

[@shaneshonda]

Free food

[@mossykc4938]

Every hunting camp needs a Chef! 😂

[@baileysmith6664]

I just don't tell them where to be and when usually ends your the only person looking at cams so I just pick the best spot

[@o-duck_kid-o3382]

2nd whooooo🎉

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Very fast!

[@alanherbert3398]

Do you sell your food plot seed to Canada? 10:27

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Yes we sure do 😊 You just have to contact Wes at [e-mail]. Ships UPS...

[@alanherbert3398]

Thank you
