    I hunt in Florida and Don Higgins is my favorite hunter. The reason hes my favorite has nothing to do with him being a great, successful, hunter which he is, it's because hes an open Christian and that's far more important to me.

    I planted real world soybeans the last week of April last year and they are still loaded with pods now and deer are there everyday.

    Some people here in the south are broadcasting brassica seed over their drying soybean plots in the fall. When we have enough rain it really works great for extra food in the beans throughout the fall and winter.

    I have noticed on my farm that after the beans are harvested in the 180 acre field, where ever we leave piles of hulls, the deer storm to these piles when the snows come and dig them up. And if there is one plant in that 180 field with a bean left on it. It is gone within a few days after the snows hit. Somehow they have a nose that finds everyone of them.

    I have a 4 row planter, I fill outside boxes with corn and middle two with soybeans. So when you plant it’s two rows corn two rows soybeans. Then i broadcast rye between rows when corn gets waist high. When the farm crops come off the deer move in. Also plant edges into clover. Been the recipe here in west central Minnesota

    • @chasinggiantswithhigginsou6147
      @chasinggiantswithhigginsou6147  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would suggest 2 rows in soybeans side by side and then 2 rows in corn side by side; this will give you 4 rows of each crop in a strip instead of 2. Just an idea to consider

    • @ericjenson7734
      @ericjenson7734 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Planter is 30” rows so it works but 4 and 4 would work also. The bigger bucks seam to like the narrow rows between corn

    In the footage of the deer in the beans, I noticed the doe has mane. Have only seen a handful of deer with this genetic trait, and was wondering if it is common on your farm ?

    First year I planted real world gen 2 beans.
    I let the beans grow up about 3 or 4 weeks then planted corn into the beans.
    Where the corn beans mix is the beans and corn are both doing great.
    I plan on doing 12 acres of the same thing next year.

    I can't even buy soybeans for a plot. Monsanto owns the world. Gotta sign your life away it seems to get any at all. Corn too. They'll let us buy wheat but the deer don't seem to care for it anymore. Sometimes you might find a bag of food plot mix that has a little bit of beans in it. And you're right. They mow it down to nothing. Especially when you only own 25 acres and your plot takes the same same space as the barn. lol. Good info.

    So I plant cowpeas and oats, I get deer, but not like the deer who turn into lawnmowers at night and wipe out the whole 5 acres of soybeans in a couple days, when should I plant them, our season starts August 15, I've tried it twice, both times I ended up having nothing to hunt over, please help, what date and month should i try it again, keep the videos coming, they are Awesome.

  • @stickjr.3715
    @stickjr.3715 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Well in Wisconsin here the deer eat the beans until they Brown and then don't come back until Winter so you'll legitimately do not have them on your property the entire hunting season #Facts

    Why would you worry about Spring food that's when the deer's buffet line turns into a 10 out of 10 for food. I've created Doe factories with Spring food plots.

    He's right, I planted 10 acres of soy beans and the deer ate it all before it had a chance to grow!!! So I went back to clovers, brassicas and corn.

    • @mulemouse

      Growing northern beans close to the house, and down by the pond they climb all over the reeds and the deer leave them til the ice is hard. Climbing over wild raspberries, is good for both, if you want more berries. climbing beans, try a four pound bag from the store.

    So Don, I own and hunt 60 acres in N Texas an hour south of Wichita Falls, TX. I've not had a successful food plot in the past three years due to a lack of critical rainfall and hogs. Would I best be served by reverting to a supplemental feeding program? I'm on the cusp of implementing this now to enhance my deer herd numbers and health.

    • @royguidry1311
      @royguidry1311 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Get some beggars lice briars growing in there. The deer hammer them and they have almost the same nutrients as soybeans. I had a valley full of them and the deer would come off 3 mountains to feed in them. Pro Tip. Wear something slick like a rain suit to walk through them or you will have 63 million stuck to your clothes. Shot a big 12 pt 150” buck in them the first year I had the land.
