Grow ‘em Big with the Best Clover Food Plot Tactics

Whitetail deer love clover and it’s not difficult to create a fantastic food plot full of delicious clover they will enjoy and benefit from for years.

GrowemBigWhat is the best food plot for deer? It very well could be clover, because clover is easily digestible and has a high protein content. The best thing about it, too, is it is easy to establish. With just a little work at your property or leased land, you can get the soil buzzing with growing clover and soon have an established plot that will benefit deer and other wildlife species.

Learn more in this week’s episode of Grow ’em Big with host Steve Bartylla as he shows some of his insights and Antler King Trophy Clover tips. Once established, a clover plot is pretty easy to maintain and will provide years of nutrition along with good hunting for you.

The Firminator  The Firminator is by far the most versatile piece of equipment in the industry. The operator can choose from a wide range of angle and pitch adjustments to perform many different functions. If a site is to be planted for the first time and is heavy with debris, the disk angles can be set aggressively along with a heavy forward tilt of the entire unit for deeper disk penetration. If a minimal till operation is desired, then the angles and pitch can be adjusted to just slightly cut through top litter without disturbing the soil excessively. A common question we get is do I need to disk the soil with other equipment first before using The Firminator? The answer is NO! The Firminator will do all the necessary work of planting a food plot from start to finish. www.thefirminator.com
