Just finished hand spreading with shoulder spreader equivalent of 2 tons on a half acre. Thanks for the chore Dave. My wife sees me watching your videos and asks how much this weekend are you spending. So I guess you'll be at farm all weekend. Lol. Love doing it.
Great info Dave. I appreciate all you do to share your knowledge & experience with everyone about growing the best food plots you can. Your hard work & dedication shows what following a few basic guidelines can do for your plots. Please continue to share your accomplishments. I look forward to your continued videos.
i just started watching your videos and i have to say i really enjoy them , your knowledge and information your share has helped me, keep up the good work . Awesome job!
A lime truck is definitely the way to go if you need that much lime and the truck can make it to the area you need it down. I think I'm going to use a lime truck this year on our 2 acre plot and since there will be extra lime I'm going to have him put it in our hay fields to help them out even though they are close to 6.5ph. The cost differential is crazy but for many of my other plots I'm still going to have to use a push spreader and 50# bags of granular lime.
Lime truck is by far the most efficient way to do it. But for most food plotters a truck can’t get back in there and have to use the bags. Huge price difference like you said
If it’s just snow it’s fine. If the top layer is ice then no good I would wait. Obviously if it’s on a hill probably not a good idea all together if there’s any snow
My food plot is struggling and I planted late. It’s about 1/4 acre and I put 100lbs on when I planted a month ago but think I should have put a lot more on. Is it okay to put it on when your plants are young or will it harm them?
Either one works. I would recommend the battery one 100 percent. It’s more efficient and speeds things up. Honestly I haven’t killed it yet while spraying lol. I believe they say about 60 gallons per battery charge. I spray a ton and haven’t had issues. I always keep it charged as well. Well worth the investment
Question..First time food plot this up coming year. Do I need to kill off everything first and them lime or can I spread it over what is there now before I start the killing process
There is a lot of variances with this. And if you ask 100 people you’ll get 100 different answers. There’s is a lot of different types of lime. Some work better then others and that depends on where it comes from. Changes soil ph also depends on the soil. No soils are the same. Some will react better then others depends on the cat ion exchange of the soil. In my honest opinion they all work the same to a very close point. Ones Easier to spread then others. They all work. Main thing is to just do it when you can.
BRENT WESTBROOKS no I actually ran over that camera a few years back long story lol. I now use a Sony ax100 for filming hunts and a cannon 77D for filming these types of videos
BRENT WESTBROOKS we just did a pod cast about this. Most trade shows are dying. It’s a thing of the past. I haven’t been to the ones out mid west like the Iowa deer classic so I can’t give a opinion on that. But I would say the Harrisburg pa show is the best which just passed. The local small ones are dead. We attended 2 of them this past week and every vendor was saying why are we here. If you want you can listen to the pod cast here anchor.fm/whitetailobsession/episodes/Death-of-outdoor-hunting-trade-shows-eb07sk
I don’t have a lot of money.. I work my ass off everyday and work overtime to pay for this stuff. I do side work and all kinds of stuff to make extra money. I don’t sit around and watch tv.
Whitetail obsession outdoors I’m a hunter also. I just can’t afford for several different things to do for shooting a deer. When I seen all those bags that you were useing I thought wow!! That would be my only cost there. No further. Low income people can’t afford all the things that the pros use on the tv shows or videos. Most of us just suffer threw hunting just hoping and praying for adeer
scott kern I understand. I’m not a prob tv hunter and don’t want to be. Again I work my ass off to pay for extra things. I save money and cut corners on other stuff. I don’t have cable at my house I don’t watch tv. Gotta work more hours if you want extra things.
Whitetail obsession outdoors Hey I’m sorry I take things wrong sometimes because I want showing what to do and I wish I could but I can’t I can do a few things
Whitetail obsession outdoors Also when I said hurt when I read it says white tail obsession that reminds me of a group of hunters they had three different names the two brothers house that lights up session and I don’t I can’t remember right off hand

Thanks frank really appreciate it a lot. No plans of slowing up 👊
When a friend can help!👍

Thank you appreciate it
Great info Dave, thanks for sharing. Reminds me that I have to get my soil sample for my new area.
Awesome hope it comes back ok and you don’t need much

Great info thank you
You are welcome 👊
Is that the agri-fab spreader? If not, which one is it? Good longevity?
Yes it is. It works great if it’s on level ground and it’s not bumpy. Any hills or bumps it can fall over.
Another great video and some great info thanks!
Your welcome
Dave what about fertilizer when is that a good time to put down. Thanks
When you plant the seed
Another good one, Dave!
Thanks appreciate it
I like the idea of spreading it on snow but if the ground is frozen under that snow won’t it just run off the next warm spell when snow melts?
If it’s just snow it’s fine. If the top layer is ice then no good I would wait. Obviously if it’s on a hill probably not a good idea all together if there’s any snow
Great video bud good info as usual bud
Thanks Steve
What are you using when you say you’re spreading micro nutrients?
Spraying micro nutrients not spreading them. I spray everything with a product called antler grow. You can look here www.antlergrow.com
My food plot is struggling and I planted late. It’s about 1/4 acre and I put 100lbs on when I planted a month ago but think I should have put a lot more on. Is it okay to put it on when your plants are young or will it harm them?
How long does battery last on your 4gallon shoulder sprayer or would you suggest the manual one.
Either one works. I would recommend the battery one 100 percent. It’s more efficient and speeds things up. Honestly I haven’t killed it yet while spraying lol. I believe they say about 60 gallons per battery charge. I spray a ton and haven’t had issues. I always keep it charged as well. Well worth the investment
Thanks for the info
Hey Dave, how long after liming can I seed? I’m in Minnesota and just got my soil test done and shows I need lime to bring my PH up.
Anytime you want. You can plant and lime at the same time or do it separately
Whitetail obsession outdoors thank you
timothy hang anytime
Question..First time food plot this up coming year. Do I need to kill off everything first and them lime or can I spread it over what is there now before I start the killing process
You can spread it out anytime. Before or after spraying. The sooner the better
You may have already answered this but can you put lime on a food plot only a few weeks old?
Yes you can you can lime anytime
What brand of lime do you use and where do you get it? I am totally clueless😂
I use pelletized lime anything I can find doesn’t matter the brand. Tractor supply, any ag store, feed store, Home Depot etc all sell it
@@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors thank you!
Got a question I always use pellet lime but heard ag lime last longer what’s ur take on this

Whitetail obsession outdoors are u still using the cannon hf g40
BRENT WESTBROOKS no I actually ran over that camera a few years back long story lol. I now use a Sony ax100 for filming hunts and a cannon 77D for filming these types of videos

Bring cows in for 3 days feed hay on food plot. Bam instant deer heaven
Is breathing powder healthy
scott kern it’s probably not healthy at all lol.
I've always been told to set goals in life. So is it bad to have a dream my wife makes so much money I can hunt fish and play golf everyday.
👨🍳
You must have a lot of money. How about helping the needy that love to bow hunt but can’t have maker plots
I don’t have a lot of money.. I work my ass off everyday and work overtime to pay for this stuff. I do side work and all kinds of stuff to make extra money. I don’t sit around and watch tv.
