Used atv food plot implements Videos

@niggahigganum2 yea hunting access is hard to get. This season I am going to plant mostly clover that seems to be the best thing the deer like. I have not shot any deer over the plot yet but last year before i made it I got a 6pt by bow right were the plot is now. It was difficult making it since its on the side of a mountain, very steep. I am going to buy some kind of disc for the atv to make it easier..

@mistermike614 An atv would help a whole lot. You could do many thing with it. You dont have to buy a disc and things like that if your going to plant clover. Im sure you know already but clover survives 3-6 years so it better to rent one from Gander mountain. Even if you are planting a seasonal it easier if you rent but if you find it for the right price the by all means get it.

Mike its Don Bondi. Thats so funny...I was looking up how to make a food plot and I noticed you in this video! Small world. I have 63 acres of land in haines falls, ny that im looking to scout soon for the fall. Let me know if your interested in getting together and possibly helping me out..

Cant really get a tractor up the mountain too steep, so have to use hand equipment. I use a weed wacker and a push brush mower. Due to hurricane Irena last year the stream washed away my atv trail. Finally just finished a 24 foot bridge to get back up to the plot.

@xlildonx your about an hour from my place upstate, thats cool you hunt.....i think you said you were making in in a week or two let me know how it goes, i am pretty busy the next few weeks and would not be free for a wile...good luck

What part of NY do u hunt. I hunt Gardiner But i live in the city but im not a cidiot i let the little guys pass. Its surprisingly easy for me a 16 year old.

@NYSHunting yea i made it in the beginning of August, have you ever made any plots and what part of NY do you hunt?

@niggahigganum2 I hunt up in Delaware and Ulster county, near Margaretville. Have you made any food plots?

@NYSHunting No I didn't soil test. i was just experimenting, this was the first time I made one.

fake the guy looked right at the camera.he woulda took it down

Then what have you been bush-hoging the field with?

What? I had people recording me.

@burmsjunk cool, very nice

needed a skid steer with tracks

Hey man, great videos, very educational. Thanks for taking the time to post 'em.

Really enjoying this budget series! Thanks! 

Thanks for the tips. Always helpful.

+Steve Rob Here's Mike's reply: I hadn't considered that some people can't use herbicides. The only thing he can do is clip the plots more often. This should cut down on the weeds maturing to seed and it also causes the clover to thicken. I'd also recommend a soil test to check his ph levels. Clovers like to have a 6.5 to 7 ph to be at optimal growth levels. Lime increases ph, sulfur decreases ph.

thanks for the reply and Mikes input. Up in Ontario We cant use herbicides unless your  licenced.  I have a 10 ac spot I use for deer and the hardest thing for me is getting clover to survive, it does come up in the spring but the weed just smother it out. I did plow ,disk , cultivate and harrow and seed 5 years ago and man it looked like a golf course when done but big mistake and now its weeds like crazy. I have tried for three years frost seeding as to not disturb the soil but im not getting anywhere. Ha , this is the difference between me doing it the wrong way  and your guest Mike knowing the right way.

+Steve Rob Here's Mike's reply: Frost seeding is an effective alternative for perennial crops like clover & chicory. I've also had great success frost seeding native grasses and forbes. I still apply herbicides to cut down on competitive weeds and grasses and prefer to do a controlled burn before I broadcast the seed so that I can increase seed to soil contact.
