There are several important steps you can take now that will allow you to quickly plant your food plots this spring. Neglect them and you’ll be playing catch-up from the start.
Clover, and especially white clover, is perhaps the single best plant available for deer food plots. It's fairly easy to establish, provides a high protein level, and when perennial types such as ladino are used, they can provide a food plot that lasts 3-5 years, sometimes even longer. All they require is mowing a few times a year, and occasional spraying if grass competition gets out of hand.
Every year it happens: spring springs and food plotters start a mad dash to get their planting done. Trouble is, the weather never seems to cooperate and there never seems to be enough time. You get only so many weekends to get your plots in, so a little advance work can make your life as a food plotter a whole lot easier. Here is what you should have ready to go by the time planting time rolls around.
It may be the off-season for deer hunters but now is the time to do one of the most important things of the whole year for your white-tailed deer herd.
