buffett1 Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 My family and I are preparing to create a few food plots on some hunting ground. I would like to try and soak in as much information as possible before diving in too far, so I was wondering if you guys had any recomended reading materials to help us out? We have plans to talk with a local DNR rep who could help us out. I was telling the others that I always tend to find some good information here, so I would put some feelers out. Thanks!

wtnhunt Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Have not read any books, but have read some pretty good articles from Ed Spinazolla. Googled his name and sure enough he has a couple books, here is a link to one of them http://www.miqdma.com/flyer.pdf. Think the title of another is food plots easy as 1-2-3 or something like that.

PotashRLS Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 A lot of the time local farmers work well because they are familiar with the soils in your area and may be able to help you with some of your initial heavy tillage. They are however usually partial to feedmill seed. The Whitetail Institute of North America puts out a newspaper called the Whitetail News and is free. Just go to their website. They have performed the most research into seed blends and seed genetics. There are also many great books out there on the net. The Quality Deer Management Association also has some good reading. Good luck with it, it's very rewarding when you see the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
