Nick Percy is joining us once again, but this time with
a different take on food plots. The last time that we spoke with
Nick was in June 2016 found here: www.BigBuckRegistry.com/killerfoodplots ,
when our focus was on food plots for the fall. Now, as the
snow melts away in the Northern Zone, we learn from Nick that there
are several kinds of seeds that we can throw atop frost ridden
soils and let mother nature take over by working the seeds into the
soil naturally. There’s a point to this. As deer come out of
their food scare winter habitats (especially in the northern United
States), having a rich crop of green protein and nutrients will get
the herd back into shape quickly as the rest of the world follows
suit down in the weeks to come. But, there are soil considerations
to consider too, like ph, soil temps, and minerals. Nick
takes us through his bag of tricks for early spring food plot
preparation.
