Today's episode we discuss setting up food plots with the specific goal of game management targeting white tail.  We look into some details around soil testing and what types of seed to use. Are you able to use equipment to line up the seed holes and plant the crops like you would for corn or soybeans, or are you looking at something more than you can just throw out for spread coverage.  We also look at locations of setting up your food plot based on a few different factors. First ingress and egress as the hunter is an important aspect so as not to disrupt the travel of the deer to the plot. But also looking at where the plot will be in relation to the deer normal travel patterns and if your plot will attract them. Also how the deer tend to feed in plots so how to best lay them out. We will do a couple follow ups from this show down the road, sharing some of the results on what we decided to go seed wise and where/how we set up our plots, and then also another on results from deer season, were we able to attract more deer and what was the quality of deer we attracted.    This topic ties in with a couple of outdoor skills we are looking to work on. First of all of course is hunting, as we would like to open the opportunities for ourselves more this season and in the future.  But another outdoor skill it has us working on is setting up and maintenance of growing food. In this scenario, its is target specifically for game, but this same skill will tie into when we are growing food for ourselves.   If you have any questions on the topic, or anything you would like to hear us talk about, send us a message!   As always please give us a rating and leave a comment/feedback as this helps us tremendously as we continue to move forward and look to improve.
