Creating a food plot for Blacktail deer


Hiking to location
Removing brush and planting trees
Started clearing brush and preparing the ground to plant a crop to attract blacktail deer.  My plan is to plant as many vegetables as possible to figure out the deer's favorite food.  I know the deer are browsers and I plan on focusing are leafy, bushy plants.  My end goal is to have the deer frequent the plot as much as possible and keep them coming back for more.  Started earlier in the year preparing this plot, lots of work to remove all the existing none edible brush.  Blactail deer love to eat blackberry, salmon berry, some ferns and clovers.
