81: Food Plots Part 2 - Trail Plots, Soft Mass Trees, Invasives - Jake Hendrickson

Part 2 on food plots with Jake Hendrickson. Trail Plots and Soft Mass Trees aren't nearly as popular as a "Clover Kill Plot" but they can be extremely effective in holding deer on your property, brining them a variety of food they can't find anywhere else, and getting them out in front of your stand. We also talk a bit about invasives and how or why you need to get rid of some of them. Find Jake at Whitetail Evolution (FB / YT) and Whitetail Habitat Management (IG). Hope you all enjoy!

Montana is trying to reduce non-resident DIY hunts and California is trying to take away remove bear hunting.
