Scent control is a big topic of conversation amongst hunters around the world. This is a specific part of hunting where “common knowledge” has really changed in the past few decades.

As a bow hunter, I have to pay a great deal of attention to the details regarding my scent in the woods given my required close proximity to the deer. But all hunters stand to benefit from a persistent scent control strategy.

Fall food plots are a great way to provide forage throughout the colder months of the year and into the beginning of spring before you plant your spring warm season plots. It will help maintain the carrying capacity of your property and can also be a great attractant for a hunting stand. NOTE: Please check with your state and local game laws when planting supplemental nutrition.

Cool season forages can be planted in fall. Cool season forages start to grow once the air and soil temperatures drop below 60 degrees. Just like warm season forages, they can be annual or perennial.
