[@HuntinGrounds]

Thanks Eddie

[@kennethflynn2469]

looks great, we do alot of foodplots here in Illinois, have 80 acres set up, one thing we got involved in is pollinator program through nrcs and soil service they pay on contracts for 10 years putting in wildflowers, after 3 years we noticed the pheasant ,quail, turkey and deer really increased

[@adamwinkelman3625]

Great video! Learning from yah for my own ‘Hunting Grounds’ each time I’m able to watch. Thanks for what yah do.

[@HuntinGrounds]

Thanks Adam

[@AJ-eg3yr]

The drone footage really brings everything together. Love what you’re doing with the property!

[@HuntinGrounds]

Thanks David. You all requested some more drone footage so I'm trying lol

[@jeffhamblin7644]

Looking forward to seeing how the plots due this year! Good luck!

[@HuntinGrounds]

Thanks Jeff

[@davidcordner5683]

[@ScottRogerson]

Great video. Awesome fawn interaction.

[@HuntinGrounds]

Thanks Scott

[@chrisvv2995]

Great video as always

[@wisconsinwhitetail9744]

Awesome video the plots are looking great!

[@eugeneconner6934]

Enjoyed the video. I like the drone videos

[@HuntinGrounds]

Thanks Eugene, you asked for it.

[@sooneroutdoors8213]

Always good info. Can't wait to buy my own property so I can use what I've learned.

[@HuntinGrounds]

I hope you are able to!

[@whartonoutdoors7493]

Good vid. Questions: 1) How does the no-till drill cope with the rocks i.e. Does it get damaged much? 2) do you hot-zone fence areas near blinds to preserve them for hunting seasons, if not, why not?

[@HuntinGrounds]

Thanks. The no till does fine in the rocks. Doesn't really damage it. But with the rocks when I hit them it can release more seed when I hit them and make it where it doesn't evenly spread seed. And no I do not fence off any of these plots. My goal is to provide as much healthy browse as possible and if I have to fence it off I have too many deer per acre of food plot, and I have had that problem so I plant more acres to keep up with the deer browse pressure.

[@richhunter515]

I’m diggin the new intro!! Very nice!

[@HuntinGrounds]

Thanks. I've used it all turkey season too. Did you watch all those videos? I think there were 13 of them.

[@richhunter515]

I'm a little behind... lol

[@scottblue2391]

Keep posting videos.... I learn something new every time

[@HuntinGrounds]

Thanks Scott

[@scottblue2391]

Huntin Grounds if it wasn't for you guys I wouldn't have any idea how to prepare my food plots. And would you suggest putting fertilizer down the first time?

[@HuntinGrounds]

Thanks I appreciate that. You can ad fertilizer for the first time but you don't have to but it can give your food plot a good boost. Even adding palletized lime can help more if you have acidic soil. It actually helps the food plot be able to take in the nutrients in the soil better

[@scottblue2391]

I will definitely keep that in mind after I finish clearing out all the brush and doing a soil sample

[@jessecox6203]

What throw and grow should I use in the summer.

[@TheCounteryboy5]

Great video man. Couple of things that could help with the old no till drill. Not sure how fast you go hard to tell from the video but the faster you go the more likly you are to get Mises from the planter and you could send in the distributors from the planter to be calibrated to help with how many seeds are put down at a time. Keep up the great content man.

[@HuntinGrounds]

Thanks. Yeah I don't go to fast because it will miss, its just old and needs all fixed up and I've worked on it a good bit but its not mine. I'll be looking into different options this fall.

[@jas1az18]

Huntin Grounds there are lots of cheap tractors on auction sites like purplewave.com

[@althoffm]

Great food plots. I used to plant year round until the hogs moved in.

[@ronswanson8247]

1. Love to see a map that shows how everything is laid out 2. Pond update?

[@HuntinGrounds]

Thanks, I'll get on that pond update soon

[@jas1az18]

Lol Ron Swanson love the pic

[@akernoutdoors9282]

Great job as always man! I'm doing alot of chainsaw work hopefully to get a field around that size so I can manage to grow some beans too here in South East Missouri

[@HuntinGrounds]

Thanks. Yeah I'll be doing a lot of chainsaw work soon as well.

[@hoythunter7404]

I had a question about eagle seed we have been getting hammered with rain and I cant even get into my spots. Wonder whats the latest you could plant beans in the south and still expect pod production I'm in South Carolina.

[@HuntinGrounds]

Honestly as long as you are having good moisture after planting you should be good. They will continue to grow till after the first couple of frost.

[@johnblackie646]

Journey is awesome, looks like she’s enjoying the mule . The drone footage is really nice addition. You got a great plan with your property. Looking amazing ! How’s the pond ? How’s your parents property doing ? All the wildlife around your area is going to love you. Keep on keeping on and Best of luck always and thanks for sharing your videos.

[@HuntinGrounds]

Thanks John, Journey loves it lol. We haven't started on the parents property yet, just got it surveyed. But I'll do an update on the pond soon.

[@muddy_armadillo]

I have a 1.5 acre food plot, and this is the first year I am planting on it. I cannot use anything with fertilizer because my sheep will eat it and get poisoned. Suggestions on what to plant? I thought about spreading some deer corn with my ATV every time I went hunting.

[@HuntinGrounds]

Yeah I don't use fertilizer. Maybe start with a clover mix then this fall you can topically apply a brassica mix with some wheat and rye.

[@muddy_armadillo]

Huntin Grounds thanks!

[@michaeltubbs2493]

Great looking setup you should be getting those food plots all planted and ready. Great looking food plot nice area going really bring in the deer! I really like your setup. and as the name you call the plot it is planted for desert for sure going to bring them in for sure and I assure you all your hard work will pay off and to find that beautiful fawn I know your excitement just amplified greatly and to show all the food plot so awesome I really appreciate all the great information Great Video God Bless you and all and Best of Luck in your seasons to come! I have slept is Walmart Parking lots several time on some hunting trip great to have a place!

[@braytonwix585]

Hey nice hair cut 😉and yeah definetly looking forward to the poor man food plot

[@HuntinGrounds]

haha thanks

[@stevegerber835]

Steve,my clover is about 8 inches tall, should I cut it or let it grow? And when should I cut it. Thanks.

[@HuntinGrounds]

I'd let it grow. If it starts flowering I'd cut it unless you want it to try and reseed itself. if you cut don't cut too short. Cutting can help control weeds to a point and I would only cut when you are not in a drought so the clover doesn't get stressed. Make sure it just rained or will soon in the forecast.

[@cameron_buckridgeoutdoors5340]

Awesome! Can’t wait to see how they turn out! We just brush hogged our plots so now we have to spray hem then plant. I’m not sure if you you use minerals at all but we started using anilogics mineral dirt and some other products and the deer are loving it! Also what drone do you use?

[@HuntinGrounds]

We do. We mainly use trophy rock

[@EverydayOutdoors]

Sounds like you need one of those Genesis drills😂

[@jordanlane2658]

Awesome video 👍🏻👍🏻..

[@HuntinGrounds]

Thanks Jordan

[@603Hunting_Fishing]

micro plot cant wait/ poor man plot

[@HuntinGrounds]

There will be plenty of those

[@briantaylor2.023]

Man, I wish the deer on my property were that dumb! xD Even the fawns on my property wise up quickly

[@waynegalyen6176]

Your grass don't have to be crimp

[@rep1989]

We have saw the old tractor and no till drill so many times on the show it's almost like a cast member now I'm starting to get attached lol.

[@HuntinGrounds]

Haha no doubt

[@joshm3776]

What year and model is the tractor?

[@HuntinGrounds]

I honestly don't know lol

[@BuckhornConstruction]

You talk about building an organic topsoil due to the rocks. Why not just chisel plow and disc what you already have to help break up that hard topsoil and add in some organic compost of aged manure and wheat straw? We notill soybeans and corn at our university farms but no tills don't work that great in rocky soil that's why we chisel and disc.

[@HuntinGrounds]

I've never chiseled and don't want to disk and I'm trying to do this the most cost effective way with out paying to add stuff to my soil. No tilling on rocks can be tough but it works and just watch how fast I build the soil on the new plot. I've already proved it on all my others.

[@BuckhornConstruction]

Huntin Grounds chiseling is so much more effective in producing a better quality crop due to it aerating and breaking up the compacted layers of soil which allows for better root growth and root to soil contact. Building topsoil like you're doing is effective but after a few years of planting you will eventually have to chisel and disc or your soil will become compacted and hard for seeds to germinate and take root.

[@HuntinGrounds]

Well I'll see how it works. By not disking i'm allowing the worms to live and help aerate the soil plus the plants do the same. I run the tractor over it twice a year and soon hopefully none, just the atv with a no till attached to it so it will be much lighter

[@BuckhornConstruction]

Huntin Grounds Worms are great aerators and produce great natural fertilizer but you need an astronomical number to actually see a big benefit from them on the acerage of plot you're planting. I'm excited to see how well everything turns out for you you've definitely got your head in the right direction. I've been doing crop and soil science work for the University Of Georgia for the last 8 years and our big crops are mainly soybeans and sorghum with some wheat and corn all are research crops. Pennington has done alot of deer plot research with us primarily their Durana clover mix. Never thought clover could grow and spread like kudzu until I saw Durana the first time. Very hardy stuff. Well good luck brother I've been following your channel the last few years and greatly enjoy your content.

[@BuckhornConstruction]

Huntin Grounds Also not sure if you have ever heard of Dirt Dog manufacturing my bestfriend is the owner but they are one of the higher end UTV and ATV attachment companies for farming and plotting in the country. You should check them out. www.dirtdogmfg.com
