AvonLKHunter Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Just planted a fall food plot with Brassicas and wheat this last weekend and would like to know if I should hunt right on the side of the plot or do you suggest getting off catching them coming to it. Any advice would be great!!! JIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Re: Hunting over food plots???? In October I recommend setting up back away from it in the staging areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Re: Hunting over food plots???? Don't hunt on the edge of the plot. You are better off to hunt trails coming and going. There is chance you can spook the deer while in the plot .Once that happens you probably won't see them during daylight hours again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13littleones Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Re: Hunting over food plots???? We have been putting food plots out for 5 years now...We see the deer in the plots through the second week of October..... after that....ziipppp...... all night feeding.... plus we have a lot of fall turkey hunters in this area ...... they wise up fast to all the boots on the ground...

wtnhunt Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Re: Hunting over food plots???? Depends on how you are hunting. With a bow, you would probably have better luck hunting the trails. Got a ladder blind just over the hill about 5 yards from the bottom of one of our plots, can see for a good ways, that is a rifle and muzzleloader stand only. The tent canvas I have draped around the blind hangs down low enough I can climb up in that blind without ever being spotted if the deer are over the hill in the plot morning or evenings. Got a tower blind set right on the edge of a field overlooking another plot. Hunting that one afternoons if you walk out early enough you will see deer pretty well every time you hunt it.

Big_Bubbles Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Re: Hunting over food plots???? to be honest, i se most deer in a food plot like 25 min befre dark, or....really really early, id hunt over it, but in the evening, so you dont get busted in the morning.
