Have The Best Fall Food Plots With This Check List!!!!

[@davidmartin8823]

Followed a bunch of your advice last year for my plots at my cabin in MI. Killed my first 2 deer ever :) Plots came in absolutely beautifully and all of your strategies worked great! Had 3x more mature bucks on the trail cams then prior years. Looking forward to bagging one of them this year!

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Awesome man that’s great to hear thanks for the story. Best of luck this year as well

[@Tha_harv]

August 8th? Buddy is from the future that’s awesome!

Some turnips are designed to get as big as volleyballs. There are dozens of species of turnips, not just the everyday purple top.

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

I agree they all have the ability to get different sizes. Just because they can get that big doesn’t mean that’s a good thing from a palpability stand point from what I’ve seen. The bigger they get the less they eat them.

[@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663]

@@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors we use a variety that actually is designed to get as big a matter a pine apple. Some others bigger than a softball. I agree on a purple top turnip getting that big, it’s woody. But I have not seen deer ignore the larger species of turnips.

Good info I'm still new to food plots in the woods here in northern Michigan

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Keep at it

[@jamescoombs3880]

Brother Dave. What's your thought about spreading lime also just before or after a rain as well? Would you prefer that or just spread it whenever you can?

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Whenever you can really sooner the better. Always best to work the lime into the soil so it can react faster.

[@billylindsay9488]

How would you do for someone that just bought 10 acres of timber with 4 acres grass in missouri I am new to the hunting thing and want what best of my son of I to be able to do if together

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Depends really. Bedding areas, food plots. Switch grass, tree plantings. Each property and location is different

[@BlanchardsBees]

I'm not seeing any rain in the forcast for SW Iowa. Bet as soon as I see some tho I'll be out there spreading seed.

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Hopefully you’ll get some rain soon

[@zackyesser1259]

I’m ready to plant! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Meeeeeeeee to

I live in Maryland. Thinking about hunting here for the first time this season.

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Very nice. It’s a sleeper state for sure

[@3lynyrd]

We are in a drought here where I am in east central NY . My plot was beautiful this spring . Completely dead now but a small amount of clover . I hand raked all the dead crispy stuff out and reseeded . Praying for rain .

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Hopefully you get rain soon a batter option may be wheat over seeded into it toward the end of August beginning of September. 👌

[@rfb7117]

What type of spreader do you use to spread your fertilizer? What is the manufacturer and lbs. capacity? thanks Bob SW WI

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

I use a earth way shoulder spreader to spread seed and fertilizer. If it’s a lot I use a fimco atv spreader. Don’t know pounds because only a soil sample can tell you that!

[@rfb7117]

Thanks for the quick reply, I'm pushing 80 and a hand seeder is not an option. I have a Fimco spreader on my ATV, but was thinking of something larger maybe a pull behind that would hold 200lbs. thanks, Bob

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

I have a pull Behind and hate it. Just have to make sure you are on flat ground ans go slow

[@rfb7117]

Thanks again for your comments.....I have seen some in the past that had wide balloon tires and looked rather stable.

[@karma8001]

Just telling you from experience that all pull behinds I tried even the heavy duty ones are defiantly unstable like he said but love to break because of the cheap mechanisms that they use. If you r lucky enough to have your food plots on level ground fabricate one or have someone do it for you. Bigger axles, wider axles, and a motor on it with a sturdy shaft coming from the top connected good to the thing that spins and spreads. U can find cheap hoppers. It works and really isn't hard. I've seen guys use truck axles and shorten them and use the part that spins the driveshaft and mount the spinner on that. I live in NE Iowa so building this stuff is what we do when we're board and want to drink a few beers

[@belindahorn3611]

My Overhaul didn't do very well went from wet to dry. Starting to get some rain again, will be planting No BS this weekend. Should do better. Thank's for all the information.

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Perfect. It was a tough season early on with lack of rain. Things should be looking up

[@RangerRage69]

Having a drought in central PA. Ground is ready, but haven’t planted yet because of the lack of rain forecasted. It might just have to be winter rye plots, and save my brassica seeds for next year. Can I save my seed for next year? Storage over winter thoughts?

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

You can yes you will loose some germ but they should be ok as long as you keep in a cool dark spot.

[@icehog2367]

So tilling in buckwheat somehow helps stop runoff, that makes zero sense.

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Makes perfect sense. Try it sometime

[@icehog2367]

@@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors I'm all ears, please extrapolate. I've been plotting for over 20 years, I don't care what you're tilling in, it's not helping to stop runoff.

[@icehog2367]

What's your background/qualifications that led you into whitetail habitat management anyway?

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

@@icehog2367 my background is 25 years of hunting and 20 years of planting food plots in multiple different states. Experience and experiments is king

We have an early start to archery here in Tennessee. Starts August 26th-28th for buck only . Gonna be a good season this year fellas i can feel it.

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Awesome good luck

[@jeremysilcox9362]

Just leased 670 acres. We are behind the 8 ball in getting stuff done, but at least in Alabama we have a little more time before things start really kicking off.

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Very nice that’s a nice hunk of land. Lots of stuff you can do with that one lol

[@ronmacdougall9612]

I don’t like spraying myself but the season was so off this year I did spray and I said to heck with it and sprayed a second time 10 days later.I seeded it with tall tine tublars on half of plot and mixture of oats,rye,and a few others,can’t wait to see it,it’s been 12 days since it’s been seeded

[@netflixandkill5282]

I'm looking to plant a small food plot of turnips and clover, will they be okay to plant together and what's the best time to plant here in alabama? I was thinking the end of this month? Love the videos man, keep it up!!!

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

Yes that’s perfectly fine to plant together. I would say closer to the first to second week of September should be good

[@netflixandkill5282]

@@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors Okay, Thanks man! One last question, Would it hurt to go ahead and till/lime/fert or just wait till i'm ready to plant

Nice nice good luck 👌

[@rbljackson]

I put down 240 pounds of triple 13 over the weekend (8/14) in hopes to try a 3/4 acre plot. Im seeing rain in our forcast for next week. Im in West Texas, and am going to try a food plot again. My spring food plot was a fail. Im not able to disk, but am considering buying a drag harrow to pull behind the ATV and try two half acre plots. We are in Zone 7B. I think its a bit early, but with the rain in the forecast, im tempted to put my seed blends down later this week which are the Mega Plot from Evolved Harvest and the Green Patch Plus from Biologic. You mentioned adding wheat if the food plot doesnt come in well. Can that be broadcast into the failed or minimal emerged plot in late sep/early October without working the soil at all? Any advice appreciated.....thx. Been following your channel this year to educate myself, but there arent as many videos about guys doing this (food plots) in our Dry, west texas environment.

[@aaronbarker6764]

Thank you so much for the great videos. I am trying to plant a food plot for the first time next week in northern Ohio. The property has corn planted but it is not doing well on the edges of the field and has a lot of empty dirt. Should I throw some seed on the bare edges? If so, what should I plant and when?

[@Whitetailobsessionoutdoors]

If it’s bare soil and doesn’t have weeds you can throw winter wheat on it before a rain 45 days before average frost
