  • The #1 Fall food plot blend that you can plant, will provide what the deer are missing and need, compared to every other feeding per day. Corn, beans, acorns and wood browse are the varieties of non food plot forage that deer can be counted on to feed on during their 2 daylight bedding hour feedings and during their 2 nighttime feedings. However, the best food source that you can provide is a food plot blend that represents the 3rd feeding of the day, about an hour prior to dark. Your food plot should be lush, diverse and offer enough green to feed deer for the entire season. The #1 food plot that you can offer not only represents the most important feeding of the day, but it represents the bottom of the funnel of daylight movement, every single day of the season. Your food plot is not at its best unless it offers a strong green blend of diversity that is unpressured by hunters and is used to compliment the daily patterns of deer, from mature buck bedding to immature buck bedding to doe bedding and finally to the food plot. Every day of the hunting season. Here is how to plant the #1 Fall food plot that meets the needs of the entire deer herd, while being the best herd and hunt influencer in the entire neighborhood...

    Thanks Jeff. Just top coated with rye again last night and went and pulled cards off the mock scrapes. No huge bucks yet, which is fine, and also what I expected at this point in the year. But i can't believe the activity at them. Just like you've said many times, every deer that walks by rubs their orbital glands on the vine. It's really cool to get pics and videos exactly like the ones we all see in your videos. This method is proven. Now if we can just get a monster there come October. Lol thanks again. Great video

    Just put in two plots at my hunting location. Limed last week, added one strip of white clover for early season, then put strips of sugar beets, rape, radish, and turnip. First year ever to be serious about planting food plots. Thanks for the information. My area is surrounded by soybeans and corn with some sparse woodlots. I know when beans get harvested, acorns disappear, and heavy frosts hit, that hopefully these plots will be the ticket to keeping them close. I have some giants around this year on trail cam.

  • @richardkramer1094
    @richardkramer1094 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Excellent points on food plots. I have a suggestion Jeff. How about a video on how cleared travel corridors are vital to deer movements. Understanding how not only humans but animals will take the path of least resistance. It has been my experience that cleared travel corridors, especially for spring and summer when bucks are in velvet, that link food plots (woody browse and regeneration to maintained food plots) are essential. What I also do is cut access points, large enough for a deer to pass, from cover to open fields in that transition area. Cutting the canopy to assist in woody browse and regeneration is also essential. One other thing I’ve found useful is to mow patches in the CRP in early fall and the mow travel corridors to assist in deer movement. I really enjoy your videos!

    @caseywabeke5394 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Jeff, I have many food plots on a few properties and tried your no till approach cuz that's all the craze these day I had many different approaches to this:
    Plot 1- half acre sprayed and killed after long summer without mowing or anything it is in "poorer" soil so when I say it had hip hi weeds It did but they were very sparse it was mostly dirt. Plot was broadcast then cultipacked in. This is one of two plots with irrigation I ran it for 3 hrs and we got ample rain 2 days after. Result germination was so-so def not what I wanted it to look like seemed thin. Also never got over 3 inches but that could be many reasons
    Plot 2- half acre mowed july 4, sprayed july 22 and broadcast Aug 8. This plot was dang near BARE DIRT. Packed in plot also has irrigation watered 4 hrs and got ample rain. (Same property as plot 1) result. Germination was incredibly low compared to yr before(Tilled). I was extremely disappointed however ik it would fill in as plants grew. This is the only plot I have a hot zone fence for so I can grow as big as soil allows. It has filled in but its definitely NOT what it was last yr.
    Plot 3- half acre- broadcast straight into very few weeds as buckwheat was planted in june. THEN, sprayed dried and cultipacked in plant date Aug 17 ample rain after plant. Germination was incredibly low yet again I knew this would happen and tilled strips to see a side by side comparison. As of yesterday the no till is extremely thin but higher than the strips however germination on the strips was more what I thought (near 90%)
    Plot 4- 1 acre broadcast Aug 17 into weeds sprayed dried and packed this was different from plot 3 however as it was WAYYYYY overseeded over double of what's called for. Ample rain for germination Result, this is best looking plot if I fenced it would be good after ample growth. Still 1 or 2 bare spots but I cant argue.
    Plot 5- just under acre buckwheat no weed or buckwheat broadcast onto dirt Aug 17 ample rain again this plot is atrocious there is NOTHING in it germ rate looks to be under 5%. Neither plot 3 or 4 or 5 make it with a buckwheat planting as deer destroy it before its 6 inches tall.Even if replanted a 2nd time. I told my brother-in-law why would I continue this no till when I can light touch the soil with a tiller or disc and get MUCH better results rather than buying a lot of seed. All plots were planted with North Woods Whitetail sweetfeast, been using it for yrs and never had issues untill "no-till" interested on your thoughts
    - Not a no till believer yet

    I plan to use Hinge cuts 30"-48" on 3 inch bunch maples found in VA, was timbered 6 years ago. My main reason is to create a barrier from the neighbor as well to create a funnel/fence to my stands.
    *40 acres 20 of it is 6yo cut off.
    Is a hinge cut good for a Natural fence from poachers? if not Egyptian grass is my other thought.
    I plan to plant the 20 acre field in corn , soybeans and Clover ( maybe some Milo) Sw VA soil is not that great. 1/2 acre pond i present and land is near A LOT of heavy pressure public land.
    any feedback or suggestions are welcome!

    Hi Jeff, I am a ravenous consumer of your content and would like to thank you for sharing all of your knowledge with myself and others trying to improve their habitat and hunting. I do have one question for you: at 7:55 of your video you mention overseeding with winter rye on the green side of the plot and NOT on the brassicas side. In mid-August, I planted a mix of oats, peas & rye on one side of my plots and a mix of brassicas, radishes & turnips on the other side (all look amazing, by the way). I did overseed the brassicas side with rye along with the green side (at 100lbs/acre) last weekend because I plan to try your no-till buckwheat method next summer and I thought the rye would give the buckwheat some mulch after I pack it down and spray it. Just curious why it's bad to overseed the brassicas with rye? PS - I'm in SE Michigan.

I can run a cultipacker over it but that still won't give correct seed depth. What are your thoughts on this with your experience.

    The average harvests for deer east of the Olympic mountains is in the thousands. So I think after seeing your video is clear as day that the greens is growing better for them on the east side but I'm still getting used to hunting. I just started.

    I do know they love apples and plums at this time. But that's usually on private land. I got to find a way to find the apple trees and the plum trees that are out in the wild.

      I lived in Enumclaw WA for 30 years and I will tell you what I did when living in WA. Use the clear cuts that are in the area just like a food plot. That is really what it is and you did not have to do any planting. When thinking about the clear cut try to find the ones that are 2 to 3 years old. Now set up your hunting plane thing that the clear cut will be that 3rd feeding. Often you will find the patters the same of a a clear cut as you would a planted food plot. Enjoy the season. I often wish I was back there in the cool mountain air with my stick and string

    Jeff, are there sprays that you can suggest to use that will kill the weeds only and not the food plot plants ? I am starting to establish a food plot and we are doing a grass kill to get to the dirt and using a kabota to till the plot, but want to maintain the weeds during the next few months so i can seed over the plot around mid sept with winter rye ,winter peas, and oats. We have good doe traffic on our property. Thank you for your help

      @whitetailhabitatsolutions9751  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Brian I go by feel now...which of course doesn't help. BUT, I use to weigh every plots seed out by the ounce. In an Earthway model 2750 if you go about setting 1.5 it will be too light (I believe). Too light is awesome! For example if you finish seeding and you have 1/2 hour plots seed left you can just spread at same rate. If you spread 4-5#s out of 6 you can go at angles real quick while making the spreader opening smaller. Or just call it a day. Better to be 2#s short than a pound heavy. Always undershoot...and make sure to angle the spreader to parallel the ground in hill country. Learned that the hard way 😁

    Great info Jeff, I have a question if you dont mind.
    I am in SW Missouri, I planted my food plot going on 3 weeks ago. We have not had any rain since I planted it. Suppose to get rain this weekend if the weather pattern holds up.
    Do you think that seed will germinate now after the rain? Or should I plan on resending?
    I planted clover, chicory and rye on one side of my plot and turnips and beets on the other. I did see radish sprouting about a week after planting but nothing else.
    Have not been back to the property in 2 weeks but I am assuming by the lack of rain the radishes may have died.
    But I will know for sure this weekend as I am going to check on the plots since we may get rain.

      Man that is a tough call BUT, I would layer 200#s per acre of Rye on it and enjoy the season...I think it is too late to replant the Brassica at this point. But the rye can offer a great cure all! You can even add more rye towards early October if needed. If you want...plant 100#s per acre now and 100-200#s more in 3-4 weeks if needed. If you end up getting a catch with the previous planting the first planting of rye will help fill in. If not...the 2nd layer of rye will. Hope for the best and thank you very much!
