TrophyBuckSecrets.com Trophy Tip of the Week – March 19, 2009
================================================================
The turkeys are gobbling and strutting right here behind my house
making it difficult to focus on whitetails at the moment, not to
mention the start of the NCAA Tournament. I love March!
We had a great time at the Erie and Hamburg Sport and Travel Expos
the past couple weeks. Dick and Wally gave up some great information
at their seminars. Dick was even interviewed live by the Erie
local news.
I don’t know if you’re into food plots right now or not, but this
week’s tip focuses on important factors to consider before you
plant your food plots.
Good hunting,
Dave
PS. Make sure you check out some pictures of Dick and Wally’s

OK, here’s this week’s tip…
================================================================
Planning For Food Plots
By now, everybody knows that food plots are great great for deer
and deer hunters alike. Food plots help provide the nutrition
required to grow large, healthy deer, and bucks with massive
antlers.
Food plots also give deer another reason to hang out near your
property, and traffic can get pretty heavy at dinner time on
trails leading to your plot.
But don’t rush out and slap down a food plot any old place. Take
some time to look at the big picture.
A successful and productive food plot is a lot like a real estate
investment – location, location, location! Carefully analyze your
property and select the best location for your food plot.
Be sure to consider factors such as ground slope, prevailing
winds, proximity to deer cover, accessibility, soil condition,
and so on.
Try to select the location that offers optimum growing conditions
for the crops, and optimum hunting conditions for you.
