Trying to figure out what to plant in your deer food plot can be the most frustrating part of creating your food plot. Every seed company out there will say that their blend is the best and will “keep the deer coming back for more.” Their statements may be true but it is also true that some plants will not grow well in your area so make sure you know what will grow well in your deer food plot.

Deciding What to Plant!

Clover is one of the most popular forage crops for deer. But clover is a bit ambiguious because there are so many varieties…

Remember to keep in mind where your deer food plot is located when choosing a seed. Some plants, for example brassicas, are not preferred by deer until cold weather sets in so if you live farther South those plants would not be the right choice for you.

Most importantly, stick with creating small ambush food plots because if you discover that what you planted was not a big hit with the deer, then there is always next year to easily change the food plot seed.
