Warm Season Food Plantings for Deer

摘要

Planting food plots for deer is very popular among Alabama's deer hunters. Most of these are planted during September and October in anticipation of the upcoming deer season. These cool-season plots serve to increase deer harvest and viewing opportunities for hunters. If prepared correctly, these food plots also supply deer with an excellent source of high quality food to help them through the stresses of winter and early spring. Many hunters do not realize they also can provide supplemental, high-quality food to deer during the spring and summer by planting warm-season food plots.
