Do you want to improve your premises and reach your hunting goals? Whether you are a resident or a landowner, there are many ways to make your property more attractive to deer. The key is not just putting up feeders but also implementing other management practices that will change how deer move on and use a property. Pay attention to the land and ensure it is healthy, manage vegetation, and have a good game plan. Another way you can do this is by planting food plots. The food plot will attract deer to the area and provide a more natural environment for them to feed. Learn these tips and much more with Sam Bilhorn in today’s episode.
