Staff Food Plot Already Attracting
Posted by DDH Staff

by Jacob Edson, F&W Media Outdoors Editor





Well, our new food plot is already attracting deer. Young tender shoots are
preferred by whitetails, and you can see in this photo the pre-existing
chicory in the foreground and our new clover mix in the back.

As a side note, this photo was taken with the new Bushnell Trophy Cam. Its tiny size boasts a year of battery life from eight AA batteries!

Deer & Deer Hunting Editor Dan Schmidt's trail cam captured this confrontation between a white-tailed deer and a raccoon. The camera is motion activated and only records 10 seconds of video. You'll have to decide for yourself who won the round!

Video: Fox, Raccoon and Huge Bug Swarm on Trail Cam
Posted by DDH Staff

Deer & Deer Hunting Editor Dan Schmidt set out a trail cam one muggy summer night in Wisconsin. The animal on the right is a raccoon, the one on the left is a fox and that foggy cloud that moves across the screen is a swarm of bugs. No deer this time.

The trail camera set up by Deer & Deer Hunting Editor Dan Schmidt filmed this molting doe one summer night in Wisconsin. White-tailed deer molt - or replace their coat - twice per year: once for the summer and once for the winter.

Heavy Rain Threatens Staff Food Plot
Posted by DDH Staff

by Jacob Edson, F&W Media Outdoors Editor

A week ago, a coworker and I hustled out to plant a couple food plots before the forecasted rain. We got our seed in the ground in time, and were excited to see the germination process begin. Since then, things have been wet. Very
wet!

Good, right? Well, yes and no.

Large puddles have formed in a few places and we might have lost some of our seed.




However, our plot is taking off in places devoid of standing water. So far, I'd say the plot is doing pretty well aside from one large puddle that seems to be enveloping about 1/8 of an acre.

I'm a little worried we might be in for a little too much rain. There are heavy thunderstorms forecasted for tonight, with up to an inch expected. As the saying goes; when it rains, it pours.

I'll offer another update in a week or so.



How are your food plots doing this year? Share your successes on the deeranddeerhunting.com forums. Or, come and ask a food plot related question.
