I just started planting food plots a couple years ago and I am learning so much by watching your food plot videos. Thank you Jeff for all your helpful videos.
That means a lot to me Jimi and you are very welcome! I really like it when Dylan sticks the drone shots in...certainly adds to the video and what I am trying to get across. Thanks again!
I am a new-ish hunter and I don't do food plots (Yet. Still learning the ropes) but I just wanted to say thank you so much for all of the knowledge and great content on this channel and on your website. Every video and article I have viewed has been informative, clear and in depth. I haven't had anyone to learn hunting strategies and techniques from and you have helped me a great deal with figuring out deer behavior, patterns and the general ins and outs of deer hunting. I can't wait for the season to start!
And north Ga as well. Up here in the mountains we do not have the numbers of deer he has up there. Would love to hear his strategy for food plots and attracting deer down here.
Jeff, your videos are excellent! They have changed a lot of my thinking about food plots, especially what's in them and when to plant them. How about advice or a video for food plot strategies in the southeast...North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia? I assume the plantings would be different especially the timing. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much Eric...really appreciate that! While the strategies are all the same, certainly some of the food plot varieties are different. I also find in the South, there is an event higher potential for hunters over-hunting their food plots. I think this has to do with how thick the cover is? But very important not to spook food plots. Green is King. Oats, peas, late planted beans and maybe even some brassicas can be used. Winter rye in poor soon areas. Annual clovers work very well. All planted sometime in September...rye/oats later in the month. I hope that helps a little? What has worked for you? The best advice j can give with a food plot is to never spook a deer off of a plot if you can help it...
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 my experience has been that our deer seem to prefer oats to wheat or rye, so I typically olant oats and clover in early to mid September. It is hard to get soybeans or peas established especially on small plots like most of us have unless you can exclude deer which is next to impossible. They eat them as soon as they sprout. If you look at any soybean field around here, the 50 yards nearest cover is desimated. I love your ideas about planting some things to keep the deer off the brassicas to let them establish as I have yet to get a stand of brassicas to maturity. I don't have this figured out but your videos have given me new ideas and inspired me. And for the record, I have managed to set things up such that I can get into and out of my food plot stand undetected if I take my time...even with deer in the plot. You are correct that that makes ALL the difference. Thank you for great videos!
@@ericfloyd9842 great feedback Eric! I like late planted beans in a mix. In your area annual clovers, oats and peas would be an outstanding super blend. That may be a great mix...with brassicas on the other 1/2 of the plot. And again, you are very welcome ..my pleasure!
HAHA, I agree with your responders, after years of fiddling around, I plant Iron Clay peas in summer, Winter Oats in winter, and I have 2 established clover fields (Crimson and Durano work for me) that I just spray and mow in the spring. Have been thinking about Rape but I hear it could be a few years before they develop an attraction to it, if its new in the area. Dont forget about indigenous apple and pear tress, the early bloomers are the best.
Question. I plant food plots in August every year in preparation for November. In the spring I till my food plots as they are not perennial. I then till again every month or so till august to keep weeds down. Would it be better to plant some sort of cover crop in the spring and then till in august?
Thanks Jeff. The most in-depth explanation I have heard yet. I failed with my spring food plots (planted too late with poor germination {drought} but I changed tactics with my fall plots (Turnips & Oats) and am holding deer really well now in December.
Jeff I recently purchased 15 acres and I am planning to plant a food plot or two. I'm not sure if 15 acres is enough for 1 2 or 3 plots and since most of the land is all hard woods and swamp land. I am curious if you have a preference in eastern NC of what is the most successful planting, last year the farmer planted soy beans in a field on one side of my land and corn on the other side. I placed cameras out and have found that the portion of property I own is more likely than not the major bedding area in the woods and holds several 2 to 3 year old bucks according to my cameras and hasnt been hunted very much since the previous owners didnt allow anyone on the property. I havent seen any really big deer on camera but I'm sure they are around. My question is, is 1 plot enough for 15 acres of all woods and what is the best and easiest planting for spring and late summer in to fall? I have never planted anything in the woods because I've never been a land owner until last year. I was able to let several 120 to 130 inch bucks walk last year and kill a very old buck that seemed to bully all of my bucks around. I am hoping to be able to hold most of the deer on my side of the property with a plot or two. Can you give me some advice to help me do that? Thank you EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA
I see that this comment is from 3 years ago I hope you got some Good resources by now… I would planet 2 food plots about 1/4 acre each an do one in possibly clover an the other in white radish an rotate them every year 😎💯💯💯💪👊
Great video. Great info all makes alot of sense. We have a parcel that after November theres NO food on it mostly all phrag so we r puttin as much green as possible in now.
What should I be plenty to do just that here in Vermont I am surrounded by agriculture Haley and not much corn is some corn around but not close to me what can I plant to help my dear virgin survive the winter and keep them on my property or close to my property thanks any input greatly appreciated
Thanks a lot!really just about any time is a great time, but I find myself making a lot in June and July.. Check out this video on timing: th-cam.com/video/pwP1EgEbwLo/w-d-xo.html
Very informative video. I've always been into fertilizing oak trees, Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. Always looking 4wrd to that next video to go up. Thanks again.
I don't have any....but if you search for QDMA and oak trees, I know that they have put out some great info in the past. I hope that helps and thank you very much!
What is your opinion on wheat for a food plot crop planted in the fall? Will cereal grains help the deer herd in my area put on more mass and antler growth? (about 4 acres of plots in the UP and also buckwheat and clovers in the spring)
In the UP I planted a lot of winter rye for years. In fact right now planting 100#s per acre, then another 100 about 9/10 and th n another close to 10/1. I call layering rye and if you search Google for layering rye you can find it quickly...hope that helps! I like the for how much it helps both pre and post Winter, as well as during the period of 2-4 weeks prior to Spring green up. Rye grows just about anywhere...poor soil, poor pH...much more tolerant than wheat.
Late planted gorage beans are great in a mix with peas oats and eye! Bit, If you are in a heavily wooded area in northern MN, plan on at least 20 acres of beans if planted in the Spring. Unless you have the size and a diversity of other forages, early planted beans would not be appropriate.
Jeff, this is another one of you very informative videos that leads me to believe planting clover or anything for that matter in the spring is useless. Is this true? I will have approximately 4 acres I can use for food plots on my 50 acre hunting property. Is it work dedicating one of the acres to a real nice wallet clover plot? What about a clover mix, say with maybe some alfalfa or hickory mixed in? Let me know what you think when you get a chance please. Thanks and as always you videos rock!
Hi Tony, thank you very much! Really when it comes to clover (which I highly prefer over alfalfa and chicory), it can be very useful for building a deer herd that needs to be attracted and started during the Summer. Also, if you are located in the line of Southern Ohio, Southern IN, Souther IL it can actually continue growing all hunting season and be a part of a very strategic food plot program if other varieties are added alongside. However, when clover becomes frosted out in mid October and stops growing, I have found in Northern settings that there are other diversities that offer a greater amount of volume and attraction for the entire season. There is no magic bean...just whatever you can plant to offer the highest volume of "green", in combination and diversity all season long. I have a "green" video coming out that talks about that over the next 2 weeks. In fact I have another dozen videos already finished and will be hitting a streak of at least 13 days in row with a new published video, starting yesterday :) Hope that you like them and that this explanation helps. Thanks again Tony!
Awesome thank you Jeff! Sound like I am in a 50/50 area with the clover. Central Ohio can get into November before a good hard frost sometimes. I have been repairing an acre area for clover planting this coming spring, I think I will stick with that plan to at least give it a try. Thanks again and looking forward to the next set of videos! This is an awesome thing you do for folks here on TH-cam!
Hey Jeff love the videos. I am in southeast Minnesota near a lot of farm land. Surrounded by 100s of acres of crops that rotate from corn to beans. My plots are also spattered in between CRP land in which we cannot till up to 1 acre because the current contract forbids it. My question is, what food source do you feel is most appropriate? I want to be able to have an attractive plot in October when fields aren't necessarily picked yet but also attractive leading into December and January. What do you feel would be attractive to deer at those times? What will get them to stand up out of the corn and come to the green plot? What will be useful to these deer in the late season that truly helps the stay healthy? Thanks for your help!
Really if you check out my 2016, 2017 and 2018 best food plot mix vids...that will really narrow it down. Those will especially iffer a lot more detail than I can explain here...I hope that helps! I am including my food plot playlist in this comment, but if you Google or TH-cam search for those, they will come up at the top...with articles too!
High value information for the deer manager .Thanks and great informational channel. I enjoy the advanced knowledge.! Eastern NC hunter here. Varies by region but very applicable.
Man that's great to hear Eric! I've found these concepts to apply anywhere a whitetail roams...just need to understand the balance of it all. Great hear from someone in NC! Really appreciate your comments
This made for a great video for me. My land of 92 acres is surrounded by hay fields on 3 sides. I learned a lot and will remember this come next year. I was thinking about putting in an acre of clover/chicory mix. But it sounds like I would be better off with an annual blend every year in the fall. Am I correct? Also, a few months ago you posted a video that mentioned a ladderstand that you like to use, what was that brand? I couldnt find the video.
That's great to hear this makes sense for you! Definitely cool season annuals when you are surrounded by hay and ag...sounds perfect! www.familytraditiontreestands.com - incredible stand company!
Frank I would love to but I have zero trips planned out that way this year. I typically go to 5-6 parcels at a time within 2-3 hours of 1 motel in 1 state. However I am flying to Oklahoma, Kentucky and Colorado for clients this year...I often fly to 1 client per month on a standard 3 day fly in trip. Probably overkill for 32 acres, but I charge $4950 + airfare for those. I leave early on day 1, depart late morning or early afternoon on day 3.
I was able to purchase my first hunting property 133 acres between Lake city and Kalkaska michigan. Lots of sandy soil but good mix of pines, Maples,Red oak some beach choke cherry popal. Some low lands river near by ag fields behind. Put in first water hole not far from house to try it last week. Had 2 decent bucks hit it last night! I liked hunting as a kid but never had the patience for it. Now I work in corrections and in my 40s love the slow down and being out there. Thanks for the helpful videos
I have to do videos on deer , cause not many people get it . Ill just say this if you want BIG deer , feed the deer at the right time . Where I live the deer have to put on serious weight to survive the winter . Got it good So feed deer all year = small deer simple . So to really to get the big beefers , quality food, lots of it at the right time . spring, summer , early fall, then shut it down winter browse is all they need . Early fall is key the real fatning foods like _ _ _ _ _ sorry can't disclose here I will do videos on it
Good question Stacy! Although about 3 weeks late for me, I just planted all 8 acres of mine in the last 3 days...got lucky with immediate germinating rains
The two sentence summary of this video is simply this: Provide qualify food on your land at a time when deer have little or nothing better to eat. The deer will come to and stay on your land. With all due respect, who actually doesn't already know this? From a knowledge perspective, this video adds nothing new that isn't already widely known and said in hundreds of food plot videos on You Tube. The redeeming characteristic of this video however is it is chock full of great deer footage and some pretty drone shots. Watch it for its entertainment value, not its knowledge contribution to food plot science. Just my 2 cents; feel free to differ.

So how does it work in your warped mind anyway? Everyone gets to comment as they please EXCEPT me. I am supposed to move on if I have a comment I'd like to post. What a crock of crap you are spouting.
My comment was balanced, by the way, as I pointed out there was redeeming merit to the drone footage and other aspects of the video. So I didn't trash the video at all. I just pointed out that it gave little genuine knowledge that nearly anyone doing a food plot would already know!
Sorry I didn’t aim for you to get butt hurt over this. I don’t mind people’s opinions at all. I mean really take a look around everyone wants to give their opinions about everything. The guy puts out good info,just let it be.
