Here is how I go about putting a little extra green in the woods during deer season. I've had some pretty good results from no more than a 50-lb bag of wheat.

Nice to see something to add a little wandering space for deer and other wildlife that doesn't need a farm fleet of equipment!! Small areas will attract deer, and more, without drawing a flock of other hunters!! Good video!

From my experience, deer absolutely love white clover. I’d plant it down that road where your wheat is. All you gotta do is throw it on the ground and let the frost do the rest. Also, I’d cut out a few trees that block some sunlight that you don’t want or are considered “junk” trees. Just my thoughts of course. I get more enjoyment from land and habitat improvement than from hunting nowadays it seems. Best of luck Catman!

Right on point, as usual, Catman! I planted my first micro plot this year, and it ended up being where I killed my buck in November. Just like you mentioned with your ridge spot, I put it right beside a known travel corridor, and it was just enough of a draw to pull deer off the trail and over into bow range. Definitely something I'll do more in the future!

Agree with you on the winter wheat! I always incorporate it into my winter plots, and the deer will browse it heavily. I also let it grow to maturity, and the following summer the turkeys will go into the tall stand and be eating the seeds off tops. So, I consider it to be a three season food plot, and I have had great success mixing it with crimson clover here on the east side.

I've used rye grass the same way. I've noticed that small birds don't seem to eat the rye seeds as fast as the wheat seeds. One year I put wheat out and a flock of turkeys took care of them 2 days later.

This was an excellent vlog. I think 90% of us looking to do food plots, we are on a limited budget, and resources... Up north hear in Michigan we get the most unpredictable weather.. we could have 50-60s in November or snow in early October. I would suggest; instead of corn... Alfalfa. I know corn has been the hunters staple for...ever. that said, corn is not digested like other foliage, and gives the deer a false sense of "fullness". Alfalfa is a great alternative. Up North, where the snow can cover all the foliage, alfalfa is a great nutrient

Good Video, I'm moving to Eastern TN in 3 weeks. I'll have 6 acers, 2.2 are completely wooded, with 2 springs in the middle and a 365 creek. In a short walk back into that area I found 4 beds, so I backed out. My question is would you just spread out the seed, or clear out a specific area? I know there are deer there as the current owners watched a doe drop a fawn in the high grass in the front part of the property. Thank You again for the Video.

FWIW, poor man's fertilizer suggestion-- used coffee grounds. By volume, VERY high nitrogen level. Slower to dissipate than chemical fertilizers. And kind of like what you were saying with the clovers, coffee grounds host beneficial bacteria that will change the health/tilth of the subsoil over time. A little goes a long way, just strew it over the plot. Light doses multiple times a year is best. Don't worry about acidity, all that is taken out with brewing. Only warning is NO fresh grounds before or after you spread seed. Give yourself about a 4 week cushion either side of seeding. Fresh grounds are high enough in nitrogen (aka HOT) that they will compost the seeds before they can germinate. I live in coffee country, so I can go to stands or shops and get all I can use for free year 'round. Hope this helps. I am curious what the deer will think of the light smell. And if you have a compost pile, blend coffee grounds into that. Worms love grounds. They'll be red wigglers, so don't know if they'll make good bait. But I can tell you from experience, your chickens will lay more eggs if you can let them turn the pile every so often.
