EP282: Land Management For Dummies - Part Two
The Pastrami Boys are so back and here for part II of the land management discussion. This episode is a continuation of EP 281 where we are talking about food plots, soil testing, and long term land management goals.
Too many hunters plant seeds based on the looks - this is not the right thing to do. To have a successful food plot you need to take soil samples, work with biologists, and buy the right seed that will not only thrive in your environment, but food that your deer will eat. Find a local feed store that you can work with and talk to the folks who have been hunting that area for some time.
Test different seed companies - See what works for your land, environment, and location. Different seeds thrive in different areas and pick your seeds based on what your goal is for that particular food plot.
Shoutout to Oglethorpe Feed and Supply Store - nicest folks that we have worked with and super patient with our dumb questions and inability to make a decision on what to buy.
