DIY Whitetail food plot experts and rookies had a great day

Thirty people were in information overload as speakers Steve Elmy (Rack Stacker)and Matt Ross (QDMA) talked Whitetail Deer during the 6 hour seminar.

Lots of local hunters and land owners signed up for the DIY seminar. There were some well know celebrities in attendance as well with Taylor Wright of The Canadian Traditions TV Show and Lawrence Beckett from  S.C.I.

An awesome BBQ lunch kept everyone going during the afternoon tour of pastures, tree lines and trails.

A ton of door prizes where handed out. The $25 entrance fee collected towards QDMA will help the local branch provide information and help to members.

Using a hand seeder to sow your Rack Stacker Upland-Game-Seed

Amplified seed from Rack Stacker great for over seeding an existing DIY food plot.

After a few hours of turkey hunting,   ok I was sitting relaxed against a tree from 5am till 10 am until I decided to wander back to my truck.

A quick java and sandwich later I was all set to get back to my gobbler hunt but first opted to spend a few minutes to over seed my  Rack Stacker Superb-uck DIY food plot that was planted last year.

A one pound bag of Rack Stacker Amplifed Seed and an equal amount of sand was poured and mixed in my portable hand seed spreader.

After only few minutes I over seeded  my DIY Whitetail Deer and Turkey Food Plot along with another small plot about 50 yards away that leads into this plot.

When any new weeds appear I will lop the heads off with a gas powered weed wacker to eliminate them.

New growth from the Amplied seed will burst through last years food plot with awesome tonnage to keep the local deer herd well fed well into fall and winter.

Last year I had the opportunity to hunt with Jerry   his good  friend Edward. on a special goose hunt,  RippleOutdoors .

This year Jerry and Edward wanted to plant a food plot for whitetail deer and turkeys.

For those that didn’t read it Edward is paralysed from the neck down with very limited movement. We camouflaged Edward to look like a bale of hay amongst about 80 goose decoys. To see how that day turned out click here

Now Edward was limited of course to helping us planting a Backyard Wildlife food plot but Jerry and I managed to do it very easily and in little time. I sprayed for weeds two weeks ago. Jerry rented a Plotmule from Badenoch Archery and we met at 8am at the proposed plot location.

Unfortunately my ATV was located north and I had no time to retrieve it.

Jerry said we could do it with his van!

I was sceptical as Jerry proceeded to disk up the soil with the plotmule towed behind his van but indeed he did get mos t of it plowed up. When we added a set of harrows I had to take over with my 4×4 truck to finish off the plot.

Now I don’t recommend this method to everyone but we did get it disked up and seeded with Backyard Wildlife Superb-uck seed in just under two hours. The plot measured just over 1/2 acre in size.

Rain had started to soak the soil down making it greasy,

Hence my 4×4

helping out, but I was amazed by Jerry’s van digging in and turfing soil!

There’s still time to get your Backyard Wildlife Food Plot Plant. Deer season start soon so don’t delay!
