Air-Current Observations

Whitetails use their extremely sophisticated sense of smell in every part of their life so learning to play the wind, or possibly more importantly, how a whitetail plays the wind, is vital to consistent hunting success. How do we know what the wind might be doing? The Weather Channel can give you a general idea, but at your hunting area influences from thermal currents, barriers like ridges or trees, and different temperatures emanating from sources

You Missed! Proper Seed Distribution

Why waste seed? Why waste soil? Why not make the most out of what you have and make sure your seed is distributed properly. The photo shows a plot where the seed was NOT distributed properly.

With the widespread availability and decreased price in glyphosate, its use as a non-selective, complete burn-down herbicide for site prep on new and established food plots is becoming commonplace. Some people may have noticed, however, that their spraying seemed less effective on weeds and overall herbicide performance was low. This can happen often when filling tanks with a rural water source, but there’s a simple fix
