THE BEST DEER FOOD PLOT THAT NO ONE IS PLANTING

In this video I talk about late summer/ early fall food plots such as soybeans and lab-lab. Spring plots such as corn, soybeans, cowpeas, sorghum, sun hemp, are all spring annuals that many food plotters plant to attract more deer to their farm during the fall hunting season. Other food plotters focus on fall food plots such as brassicas, annual and perennial clovers, and cereal grains such as oats, winter wheat, and cereal rye. Very few food plotters are planting late summer food plots that are high in protein and digestibility. As the spring turns to summer most of the whitetails food gets bigger and with this change comes lower protein levels and lower digestibility, leaving many whitetails left with undesirable food sources to finish up growing before the first frost. Planting these late summer food plots can not only benefit the whitetails by giving them high quality feed to finish out the growing season but also majorly benefit deer hunters with some fantastic whitetail deer hunting.

Good info as usually Wes. I really like you to try a 1/2 acre pumpkin plot . They have become my favorite for late season attractant. Even with corn/ sugarbeets and beans all around, the deer hammer my pumpkins.

Great information. I’m trying some new mixes this week. Soybean, buckwheat, sunflower, and Milo. We are drying out again and I figure the drought tolerant mix outta be a decent base to throw brassica and cereal grains later in the summer.

I did this over 20+ years ago and the deer loved them! BUT I have had deer hammer a field of corn with 5"-6" tall soybeans in it and mostly ignore the beans the first week of October in lower Michigan. If I remember right the ears hadn't hardened off yet.

Wes.....great comments one of the best years of attractant we ever had was when I got my beans in late due tome mother-in-law passing. They were the only green beans in the area in early fall, when all the neighbors were brown and the deer HAMMERED them. It was how I discovered and started planting Eagle Forage beans 12 yrs. ago. We generally plant some beans etc in our fall plots and then later go in and broadcast some winter rye in with them. Bob

Yeah it’s unbelievable how many folks don’t take advantage of late beans in early fall. You can really have a tremendous amount of deer using a plot if you’re the only one around with them. Thanks for sharing your experience! Thanks for watching

Hey Wes...prior to moving exclusively to the Green Cover Seed release process, Dr. Grant Woods would do a double crop soybean planting where he would drill right into the existing rye with soybeans then crimp down the rye forming a mat layer. Later in the fall, he would drill into the soybeans with a new crop of rye. You kill some of the existing soybeans doing this method but some will still be standing along with a fresh crop of rye to carry you through the winter. He was able to eliminate fertilizer employing this method as the soybeans produced nitrogen for use by the rye. I want to try this and am curious as to your take on it.

@DIYfoodplotpro 12 күн бұрын
Michael that will work just fine….no trouble there. If you are getting plenty of rain, you can simply broadcast the cereal rye into the standing soybeans…..this leaves way more soybeans up then down, and as long as the moisture is there after seeding works really well. Cereal rye is one the of toughest crops there is, and like you said the soybeans would leave around 40lBS of nitrogen in the soil, providing plenty for the cereal rye. But if you would rather drill, you can do that as well, you’re just going to knock down a lot food that you have already raised for the deer. Thanks for watching.

Hey Wes I’m going to plant my alfalfa in august, can I use chicken litter to fertilize or will that be to much nitrogen? Thanks
@DIYfoodplotpro
@DIYfoodplotpro 11 күн бұрын
I think that will be okay, I used 9-23-30 but i always order more than I need. I’m sure I got 50-60 lbs of nitrogen out of it. You could also go ahead and add the litter now if you want, but I don’t think it will hurt anything to wait until closer to planting time.

I’m sorry Wes but I need your advice, I have two clear cut power lines that just got scalped by the electric company. I want to make them into bedding, my choices are throw buckwheat on them and smother them out for the year or add a sorghum screen. Next I will plant switchgrass, what do you think I should do. Thanks
@DIYfoodplotpro
@DIYfoodplotpro 10 күн бұрын
I would let them go….those power lines turn into some amazing habitat in very short amount of time….or at least they do in my area. If you have a bus-hog and will handle mowing the easement yourself, you can get away with getting a good thicket started before having to bush hog it again. The power company won’t let the trees start to get up very much before wanting it mowed. You can also plant some native grasses if you would like….i just love that natural stuff, briars, saplings and weeds. The only tough thing about the switch grass is it really needs to be be burned and under those lines that would be a big no no.

A good pre emergent will help tremendously with grass and weed pressure. Dual, or anthem max are both great pre emergents. Clethodym should clean the grass up in soybeans, just check the label and make sure it’s labeled for your state and on the size of your soybeans. Thanks for watching

Don’t spray them with pre emergents now….that would be before planting and then depending on the chemical to a certain size. Clethodym is a grass only herbicide. It will kill grass but not broadleaves. Just make sure you read the label….i always use roundup on my soybeans, so I’m not familiar if there are cut off dates for spraying or if once the beans get a certain size you can’t spray anymore….all that will be wrote on the label, and you can read the label b4 buying the herbicide
