Planting Success Begins with the Soil

A soil test is the first and foremost step before ever being able to plan out a food plot schematic that is best for your property. Every plant has a different set of ideal conditions, so the type of soil, pH of the soil, and soil nutrients will all have a significant impact on which plants can grow the heartiest when it comes to the location they’re being planted in.

How ProStaffer Perry Peterson Handles a Turkey Duo Behind Him

I was caught between three turkeys. The gobbler with the hens in the middle of the field was about 150-yards away from me. The gobblers behind me were almost strutting in my lap. These two turkeys hadn’t gobbled that morning, so we had no clue these two birds were in the stand of timber right behind us.

A food plot farmer needs to understand that the fertilizer recommendations on the product’s package, on various websites or the BioLogic Planting Guide, is just a recommendation for the amount of (N) nitrogen, (P) phosphorus and (K) potassium that particular crop can use during a typical growing season under average conditions and a neutral pH. It IS NOT necessarily the fertilizer you should be using! You need to do a soil test to determine “your

Perry Peterson and the Merriam’s Turkey

When the turkey reached a sandy road about 150- to 200-yards away, I toned down my calling by using a mouth diaphragm call. As soon as he heard my call, the bird gobbled and started coming down the road to pass right in front of the spot where I had chosen to set-up.

Cogongrass: Enemy to Wildlife

The invasion of cogongrass has quickly replaced lack of frequent fire as the greatest threat to ecosystem health and land values in many Southeastern states. Fire, in fact, actually makes cogongrass a bigger threat to habitat by making easier for cogongrass to invade a forest, so this plant is one that landowners should not burn but eradicate with herbicides.

ProStaffer Perry Peterson's Turkey Tales

The fall before this hunt we had seen a really-big turkey standing on a gravel road. We were almost positive that the longbeard had 2-inch spurs. We could see him strutting from the road every day and noticed he was staying in the same area where we had seen him in the fall. He went out strutting in the afternoon to encourage the last few hens available to come to him. We stayed away from

By Terry Madewell, originally published in the 1994 edition of Mossy Oak Bowhunting Magazine As big whitetail bucks are inclined to do, this one had done the unexpected. I'd studied this buck's pattern for a couple of weeks, being extremely careful not to leave any scent in the wrong places. I'd selected a stand site where the dense underbrush funneled into a 40-yard-wide strip. I was sure this was where he would walk and I
