Whitetail Deer Hunts
Any deer hunting enthusiast will tell you, they are always looking for ways to increase their chances to harvest a mature buck when deer hunting season rolls around. They try everything from, changing their camo pattern and scent control to changing their calling strategy. However, none of these options increase the chances of success as much as planting food plots for whitetail deer.
Deer food plots, while sometimes difficult to grow correctly, can yield extraordinary results. Why is this? Simply, it is because the hunter has the ability to provide year round forage options to the whitetail deer in his area.
The one thing that wildlife biologists know for certain is that deer have different nutritional requirements at various times of the year. For example, in the summer months, deer need proper nourishment to develop their rack for the upcoming rut and in the winter the deer needs to increase his fat stores to ensure survival. Understanding information about a whitetails nutritional needs and overall behavior gives the hunter a distinct advantage when it comes to planting deer food plots.
The key to success with planting is knowing not only what to plant, but where to plant it and when. This may seem like something that can be easily determined, but it requires that the hunter do a bit of homework. First, is determining where to plant. There are several factors which must be answered, such as is the soil capable of yielding the crop about to be planted. This requires that testing of the soil be completed, which includes ph level and mineral composition.
- Once this is done, does the crop being planted need sunlight or shade
- How much area needs to be cleared
- What will the weed control plan entail
- How much irrigation if any is necessary
The next thing to determine is what forage will grow in the existing climate. It will become very expensive if the food plot needs to be replanted the following season because it was ravaged by extreme winter conditions. Then determine when each seed needs to be planted. This will yield nourishment for the whitetail throughout the year and if planned correctly can last through winter.
This is by no means a complete list and it should be noted that growing in different areas of the country means utilizing different seeds and tactics. So where can a hunter find the information to have successful plots? There are a few sources.
- Start local. There is no doubt that other hunters in your area have been successful with deer food plots. Seek out their advice as to what works best.
- Try your states department of fish and game. They keep an amazing amount of information about hunting within your state and should be able to provide some insight.
- Use the internet. There are several very reputable sources which provide specific information about planting deer food plots in all areas of the country.
A hunter interested in planting his own food plots for whitetail deer should use this information as a guide while searching for the answers specific to his area of the country. Find a step by step system you can follow and planting correctly the first time, you can ensure that you don’t waste your time and money.
