REAL LIFE PLOT STORIES

Story 1:

We live in Florida. Our hunting property is in South West Tennessee. Makes getting some things done really a challenge at times. We bought the property last year and did not get to spend the time on it we wanted to. It was a learning period to learn the property and deer habits. We have a better understanding now on it.

Last year we saw that some of the fields were too wide and long to be any good for day hunting. We will plant some trees in a couple of weeks to form some cover in them. We will also plant some tall crops as the trees of course will not be of any help for cover. We have some areas of smaller plots to work on for the future.

We put some lime down last year will check it with a test soon. Need to deep till the ground as we had some heavy work done cleaning out the big plots (ground was really hard). I will make a plan for this year real soon and keep in touch. Might be something for a story on long distance food plotting. Had problems last year hope to cut down on them this year?

Thank you for your help makes a guy think.

Story 2:

Many entities, including designer seed companies, mislead the public about food plot reparation and maintenance so as to sell seeds. Food plot work is hard work and riddled with disaster or the well intentioned but ill prepared. My first attempt was in northeast Pennsylvania where the soil pH level was 4.7.

Can you imagine the amount of lime and time it took to neutralize the soil in this non-agricultural area where the only equipment available was a hand spreader and an ATV? Needless to say, my first year's efforts resulted in a field of pristine dirt and no deer heads on the wall.

After two years, it seems like I finally have got it right.
