Small Food Plots for Deer Hunting - Tips & Tricks
Tips, Tricks
How to make a small, yet diverse food plot for deer hunting. From seed selection, to equipment required, we'll cover it all. This plot will feed deer all year with oats, field peas, rye, and clover. It's a dynamic little plot that not only draws deer like crazy, it builds your soil for future corps amazingly well. Recommended Seeding Rate: Rye: 50-80#/acre Oats: 50-120#/acre Peas (forage or field): 20-40#/acre Clover: 8-12#/acre At 2013's prices, this mix ran around $85. If you'd like to go the inexpensive route, then just plant rye. It'll run you around $10 for 50#. Rye or wheat is great for food plotters because it handles the cold well, is cheap to plant, and will grow in just about any soil. Want to see these plots after 10 days of growth?

Ever shoot the seed individually I found you can save some seed especially with clover being tiny and rye being quite large did a 3 acre plot this year found mixing I wasted a lot of small seed

Did you need any Lime or Fertilizer?
-
That is a pretty amazing stand location. A food plot on either side with a fruiting apple tree on BOTH! Would love to see some hunting vids from that stand.

Great tips. I really like the fact that this mixture will last through the winter,summer and into the fall when you till it under. That will help control weed growth as well. Mark Bow.

What a good fertilizer
-
Enjoyed the video! I'm curious as to why you wouldn't burn off the plot and start with no weeds or grasses then disk it?
-
sweet view from that stand!
-
awesome tips I love the knowledge
-
how high was your stand???
-
Will any of the seeds that you use overpower then other ones and take over the entire plot? just wondering if i should mix all thr seeds together like you did, or plant them in seperate areas of the plot. thanks.

Hi Steve, What state is this property in?
-
Never tried this, one day I'll maybe give a plot a chance!

Omni Mfg. has a ductile iron cultipacker wheel that resists breaking unlike the old grey cast iron. It's less expensive and requires no maintenance like the carbon steel wheel.
-
Are oats annuals? and did you lime before this?
-
How high up is that deer stand?!
-
how did it turn out? did the deer like what you planted?
-
i live in the U.P. to eh

What was there before you planted it the first time. An. Area I,d like to make into a food plot is all ferns in the summer. Should I cut them down and round up them before planting? The property is in the u.p.

Nice! If you need any music for your videos, let's collaborate! I actually have a song called "Get Out My Food Plot".

How late is too late to make a new food plot? Can this be planted now in November in Kentucky and still have time to come up this year?
