Every food plot on my property was created in a similar fashion, so I can appreciate the amount of work even an 1/8 acre plot requires!
This is great step by step instruction. Looking forward to the next video! Thank you guys for doing this series!

Wow, you answered so many questions I had about clearing a small area for a food plot among a pretty dense, mature forest. I was overwhelmed before watching this. Thanks.

Great video. I'm looking forward to seeing more on this food plot. I got the chainsaw out this morning and started cutting my first hidey hole. I still have a long way to go and I don't know if I'll get to plant this year but I'm looking forward to seeing how it does. I'm in middle Tennessee and my woods look very similar to the area of the proving grounds shown in this video.

Herbicide? 50% Garlon3A, 40% water, and 10% Arsenal AC
Do do you think there is still time to sneak in a hidey hole food plot before deer season? I assume this video is not filmed to long ago, I've never tried one before, but really want to after watching these videos about it this year. These would help improve my small property (44 ac.) that is mostly closed canopy forest. I hope the whole team is doing well! Looking forward to seeing the growing deer teams season this year! God bless!

Sure! Some crops need 45 days before the first frost and others continue to grow when it's cold.
Thanks for the video. This will be my first spring project. What herbicide do you use to stunt the cut trees? Thanks again. Tim

TIm - Which herbicide to use depends on the tree species to be terminated. Glyphosate works on most oaks but rarely controls hickories.
What is the herbicide for spraying the trees? sorry if someone already asked this.....thank you! Great video

Ryan - We often use 50% Garlon 3A, 40% water, and 10% Arsenal AC. Some folks use Crossbow - which is a commercial blend.
What kind of herbicide did you guys use on the saplings after you cut them?

Will the next step before planting be a burn to remove leaf litter and stumps?

Hey grant and Daniel, Are you guys hunting on the new piece of land you all starting working on or the original piece you all are trying to sell, just curious.

At what point is it to late to do preparations like this for the season, that it will start to effect your hunt? I'm in Ohio. Bow season starts the end of September. Are the preparations your doing for next year? Or are you planning to hunt that area this year?

You can probably do it for this season you just need to get on it as soon as possible. You also have to make sure you are around 60 to 45 days before first frost. If you can’t get it done before that then you should just plant oats or winter rye

How good are those battery chainsaws? I have a gas Poulan that is great but it gets heavy.

Jarrett - It depends on the tree species. A mix of 50% Garlon 3A, 40% water, and 10% Arsenal AC works for many hardwood species.
Just curious, why leave a stump and not cut it flush with the ground?
@GrowingDeerTV

Zach - The stump allows us to push them out easier when they start to rot.
How long does it take for the herbicide to rot the stumps?

I don't think a few millimeters of herbicide cause stumps to rot.
Is the only reason you use the sponge brush is to save herbicide?

To spill less - and place the herbicide where we want it. Spraying results in herbicide going places it sounded.
Daniel, I'm sure this will come out in a future video , but how do you prepare the soil for planting with all those stumps? I assume you will burn to remove the leaf litter.

Do you do anything to the ground to help seed contact ? For a lack of better word scare or score it to help the seed make contact.
In Kansas, a hidey hole food plot is a corn pile. 😅

Why didn’t you burn your cut brush in the plot you lost a lot of beneficial nutrients from that ash

There was too much green biomass to burn quickly and we needed to get the plot planted. You are correct - if we had time that would have been a good plan!
