Whitetail Deer Food Plots

Learning how to set up and maintain good whitetail deer food plots is the key to increasing whitetail population on your property..

What I have implemented the last 3 years works. We went from no resident deer to well over 40 deer at any one time grazing in our fields.

Learn how we built our food plots. It's fun and rewarding to watch the whitetails feed on them.  Of course, we only harvest the bucks on these plots.

Once the resident herd is up to the ratio of bucks to does we will harvest some does that do not have fawns with them. 

Whitetail Deer Food Plot Planning

We will lay out our basic plan here and then follow up with more detailed information for each part of our plan that worked well for us. Without a plan you can't build a house.

1- Learn and understand the layout of your property. 

2- Take soil samples and find where to take them in your area or buy a Soil Test Kit from Amazon like we do. 

3- Find a seed company you can buy from year round.

4-  You may also need lime and fertilizer. 

5- Get the whitetail deer food plot ready for planting. You'll need a seed spreader. 

6- Seed the plot and pray for rain. 

You need a plan layed out before you start any food plot work. This one was done by the forester we work with. The yellow shows each food plot and it's size.

Completed Food Plots Attracting Whitetail Deer 

This season my 40 year old son told me time and again that he cannot believe what we have done in 3 years to our property in creating a resident deer herd.

Every time we go out to our stands we see 8 to 12 or more deer in the woods.

We have 300 acres of hardwoods now. Why? Because of great food plots. Anyone can do this if they follow our plan.  It works, we have the proof.

Plot is just starting to grow, the great feeling you get every time you see your plot and it has grown more is wonderful. A job well done for your 4 legged friends.

The work done, food plot planted attracts Whitetail Deer Like this Buck. Not too long ago this was all woods.

Whitetail Food Plot Planted in July, Attracts lots of Deer already. This was all woods.

About My Site
The-Whitetail-Deer.com

If you're looking for whitetail deer information, you've come to the right place. I'm working all the time on the site and adding information all the time about the Whitetail.

My idea for the site came from the fact that most hunters of whitetail deer believe you have to harvest a monster buck deer to be a good Whitetail Deer Hunter.

I have watched a ton of shows on T.V.over the years and do not ever recall anything mentioned about the fact that any Whitetail Deer Harvested is to me a trophy in its own right.

We all have to know or understand it takes a lot of work and knowledge to be successful in this sport. Over the years I have learned a lot of information about the Whitetail Deer and hope to put it here to help others to learn to hunt what I believe it the greatest most magnificent creature God has given us to enjoy in many ways.
