• Tecomate Seed Food Plot Journey Wrap-Up

  It was around this time last year when we got the green-light and started the Tecomate Seed Food Plot Journey.  The first blog entry aired last January and I didn't know what to expect, but I knew I had a lot to learn.  Around 25 blog entries and a year later, we've had some successes, some failures, some lessons learned, some memorable hunts, and some really good looking food plots. I?ve posted some pictures below of the spring/summer and fall/winter food plots. Spring Fall I'm no guru by far, but even from my little bit of experience over the last year I can tell you that the soil was one of the most important factors in our Food Plot Journey mix. We planted food plots in several different areas and the areas where the soil was best fit for the food plot ...

• 2010 Deer Competition Winners Receive Their Prizes

  $(function() { $('#gallery a').lightBox(); }); One of my most favorite parts of working on the web site is to be able to give the competition winners their prizes!  One of the winners quoted this past weekend ?Shooting the deer was good enough, now this is just the icing on the cake!? and that?s what it?s all about!

• 2011 SC Turkey Competition Winners Receive Prizes

  $(function() { $('#gallery a').lightBox(); }); I recently met our 2011 Montana Decoy Turkey Competition winners to give them their prizes.  As you are most likely aware, our site audience voted and Mark and William emerged as our winners.  After the announcement we had to schedule and coordinate a meeting place to deliver the prizes.  Since Mark and William hail from areas distant from each other we had to line it up for different days and it even was raining as Mark received his prizes.  Nevertheless we still got it done, but we didn?t shoot much video? just pictures. It was definitely a good day for William Babb and Mark Cody when we met and they were all smiles ...

• Update: Game Camera Pics from 2 of the Tecomate Seed Food Plots

       Here is a pic of the Lab Lab Plus growing up a sweet gum limb on the edge of the plot Remember when I said that I was taking some new batteries back out to the game-cam on the GroundHog MAX, remote food plot?  Well, turns out that if you actually have working batteries in the game camera that it does take pics!  Also, lithium batteries work better than the regular.  Looks like I?m learning about all kind of stuff this summer. Since putting new batteries in the game camera, I?ve been able ...

• Food Plots & Game Management

  There are several facets of Game Management. The first one we're going to investigate is the notion of food plots. Food plots are great resources for managing game on your land and are commonly found as a staple in any game management strategy. The core definition of a food plot is "A planted area set aside to act as a food source for wildlife" (Wikipedia). Given that definition a farmer's large field of crops such as soybeans, corn, and peas sometimes serves the same purpose that a food plot does even though that is not the intention of the farmer!  Though, farmers will eventually harvest their crops whereas when hunters install food plots they are usually not as big, are of more variety, are located in different areas, and wildlife are the intended consumers of these crops. It's important to begin by saying that food plots are not a solution to a problem, but rather a supplement that can be beneficial for the game on your land. If you do not have deer on your land, planting a ...
