The Strategy Behind a Great Food Plot Design
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Last year, I implemented a last-minute food plot in late September. I was only able to get rye to grow with just a few weeks of the growing season remaining.
This year, we have brassicas planted in the plot, and it's looking fantastic. In this video, I wanted to take the time to discuss the strategy behind this new food plot. I do believe it'll produce immediate results, but there's also a long-term strategy at play.

How did you incorporate that switch into that CRP?
Sprayed early May, burnt late May, sprayed late June, and one final spray in September. Then frost seeded the next spring and sprayed 2 quarts simazine per acre just before green up.
Some golden rod in that fallow field too
Yah I don't mind that. Sure is pretty this time of year
What did you plant in the kill plot? When? Do you plan to burn on a rolling basis the fallow sections?
It was kale, radish, and turnips and just overseeded rye into it. No plans to burn. I want the woody growth to get mature enough to be good fall and winter cover. Plus with all the scattered conifers burning would be impossible if I wanted to keep those.
That had to be tuff to see all that land cleared. I think I would be sad every time I go to that blind.
It was. We could bow hunt it and it held a ton of deer and often several mature bucks. But it just made us push that much harder on our own habitat
Sam, that stand is 100% gonna have to replaced soon. . If it's not now, it will become rickety/ rotten / noisy over time.
I see ZERO reason to create cover around it as every deer in that area has grown up with it.
It's part of their life.
Love the way you got the zones layed out though..
I definitely agree with that. It'll get replaced or we'll do some serious TLC with it. It was put together with scrap wood. It's a neglected stand given it hasn't gotten hunted much since that woods was removed but it'll get some attention now
Maybe, Depending on what state you’re hunting. Iowa, Kansas and most of the Midwest I would agree. Pressure states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, areas of Wisconsin ect? They see those structures sitting in the middle of fields as danger. Sure young bucks and doe will hang around but not mature buck. Most mature buck have been shot at or wounded walking near these structures, they know the game. Maybe one in a blue moon might make a mistake but don’t bank on it. Much better idea to hide the blind. To be honest that structure sticks out like a turd in a punch bowl…
Hopefully that holds them long enough they don’t leave prior to darkness!
Those adjacent bedding areas hold them. The main part of the pasture is still a pass through area. Waiting for those trees to grow up!
@@PFHabitat should be a nice setup!
Hopefully!
Thanks for sharing Sam
Thanks for watching Scott!
Don't the deer eat the spruce.that ate mine to the ground.
No they leave them alone on our farm. It's pretty rare I see deer eat spruce but I have seen it
@@PFHabitat They dont eat them on my property but when the velvet starts coming off, If I didnt fence them they absolutely schred them!
I have around 12,000 planted throughout the farm so the numbers game should help me in that regard
