What to Plant Now for Deer, Ducks and Turkeys

We begin planting food plots for deer at this time of the year, in the early summer. We’re planting some Mossy Oak BioLogic BioMass. This blend has a mixture of soybeans, iron clay peas, and Lablab. This very nutritious blend can be planted in the spring and summer. These plants produce a high protein food that helps bucks build stronger and bigger antlers, and it’s really good for the does that are nursing fawns.

Clover Provides Year-Round Food for Wildlife

You may think that using herbicides, fertilizers and possibly a second herbicide treatment during the off-season is a lot of work and a lot of expense. However, if you can get several years of utilization out of your clover fields instead of having to replant every year, you may save some money and time. Clover can provide almost year-round food for wildlife with good weather and proper maintenance.

The Bonds Of Spring

Dennis is a legend in my eyes, and it turns out he was best friends with another turkey hunting legend: Dick Kirby, the man behind Quaker Boy game calls.I never got the chance to meet Dick, but thanks to the bonds of spring and my relationship with Dennis, I feel like I’ve shared the turkey woods with Mr. Kirby. It’s amazing how turkey hunting brings folks together.

Wild Turkey Success Story

In the 1500s, the wild turkey population in the United States was approximately 10 million. As unregulated hunting pressure and habitat loss increased, the turkey population rapidly declined. Wild turkeys had once occupied 39 states and by 1920, they were down to 21 states. The lowest population estimate is 30,000. The desire to recover populations as a source of hunting recreation and food procurement were foundational in wild turkey restoration as was the engagement of

Alligator Weed: A Common Pond Pest

Alligator weed typically grows at the edge of the water, has a thick mat of stems and long pointed leaves. The mat may extend outward into the pond 10 feet or more. It is not uncommon to see these mats break loose from the shoreline and float as islands in the pond.

Getting Back to Hunting

When I was 16 years old, I quit hunting. I really didn’t come back to hunting until I graduated from college, because there were so many things that pulled me away from hunting. One of the reasons I came back to hunting was because my dad always invited me to go hunting with him. Slowly but surely, I got back into loving to hunt. Now I can’t imagine my life without hunting. I think the

Fatherhood, Career and Hunting: Making It Work

Hunting is not what I’m the very best at in the world, but I enjoy living that lifestyle. I like being in the editing studio and in the office, and I sit in front of a computer almost every day.

The Three Sisters: An Exciting Old, New Approach to Food Plots

Friends, we are going to talk about something new, different and exciting today! I’m not going to discuss soil pH or cultivating techniques. We all know these things are important and are the basics in “farming 101,” but we are going to approach a new and dynamic way of not only planting food plots, but creating food plots that wildlife will be drawn to! What I’m saying is this… I’m going to throw a wrench
