Advanced Food Plots

It seems like everyone is planting food plots for deer these days. That’s ok by me because even a basic food plot will provide valuable nutrition to deer and add important biodiversity to most woodland landscapes. But, there is a big difference between your basic food plot and what can really be done with a food plot if you set your standards high and know what you are looking for. Here are a few things to think about and set your food plot sights on.

Basic food plots provide deer with 1-2 tons of green matter per year. You plant them anything that will grow and forget about them until hunting season.

Advanced food plots provide deer with 3-5 tons of highly nutritious, easy to digest nutrition per year. They are planted with scientifically developed, food plot blends designed for deer not cattle. The plots are planted on well prepared seed beds, they are limed (when necessary) and are given a generous shot of fertilizer in spring and late summer. They are also sprayed with grass specific herbicides during the growing season and mowed to keep broad leaf weeds down.
