There are 5 top food plot plantings that you should be considering right now, and perennial plantings do not make the cut (check link below). When should perennial crops like clover and chicory be established? Not in the Spring. Instead, perennials should be planted during the late Summer where they can aided by a cool season cover crop that deer crave, at a time when moisture is increasing and weeds are dying. However, there are 5 great food plot varieties that you should be planting during the Spring, to get a jump on your Fall whitetail success. Because let's face it folks, great deer herds on parcels 500-1000 acres or less are built during the Fall, and not during the Summer. If your Spring food plot plantings aren't gearing you towards Fall whitetail success, then those Spring food plot plantings are not contributing much towards a quality herd, habitat or hunt. These top 5 Spring food plantings can give your Fall whitetail goals on small parcels, 1 big giant boost of success!
