Habitats & Food Plots

With deer seasons closed, there are lots of habitat alterations you can make that will improve the health of the whitetail herd in your area. One of the easiest and most rewarding is to create a mineral lick. The goal of a lick is to provide vital minerals and vitamins to deer and other wildlife species that might be lacking in the foods they normally eat.

With spring on its way it's time to begin thinking about planting food plots. Food plots provide deer and other wildlife with excellent nutrition and lots of it. Most wildlife experts would like to see around 3 of a property put into food plots with 5 percent being even better.

ProStaffers Heath and Lindsey Martin set out with the Winchester Razorback XT to eliminate some feral hogs and save a farmer's crops from destruction.

As a huge snow front sweeps across the Midwest, we team up with the guys from Winchester ammo and try to pound some predators! Then we head back to The Proving Grounds to take advantage of the snowfall and do a little frost seeding. Join us as we turn up the heat in this week's episode!

Once you've identified and mapped out where your best shrubs and fruit trees are on your property, here are five quick ways to enhance their value to deer and other wildlife.

Off season management continues here on The Proving Grounds as we fill the Redneck feeders with Record Rack feeds. Then I take you inside the science of soil and what it all means for growing antlers. Next I swap the soil probe for my trusty .223 and zero it in using the new Winchester VarmintX load for a coyote hunt in Illinois.
