Awesome video. This year is the first year I can really pour into the properties I’m hunting and I’m so excited learning about everything you talked about. Thank you.
Awesome to hear Seth, thanks for watching and reach out anytime
Thanks for the video getting me excited. I hope all is well jared
Thanks Jimbo! Hope all is well
Looks like you got some good up-and-comers looking forward to another exciting season
I'm hoping it'll be a great one! Thanks for watching
Love this stuff look forward to every video
Appreciate it Brandon!
Thanks for educating us. Just subscribed for more content. Like most, I have questions but will start off easy on you.... I have an 800 acre MLDP property that I help manage. This past year, we bush hogged some of the hunting fields, drug them with land rakes to remove all of the cut weeds and grass (no chemicals used), disc harrowed the fields, drug them to break up the big stuff, harrowed again and then planted . Food plotted (fall/winter blends) portions of them and perennial rye on the remainder. We came back early spring and planted coastal for summer cover. Fields turned out beautiful and have had activity on them ever since but, that was a lot of work and it sounds like you have a process that is a little less labor intensive.
So, I just purchased 73 acres for myself and am currently preparing the property but do not want to follow the same process as above. I would like to know, what are you using to kill off the weeds/grasses that you are able to go back and immediately put down fertilizer and seed that does not hamper the germination process and kill off the new seed?
Location of both properties is East Texas. Recommendation for blends would be great as well for the upcoming fall planting season, I think I can get it done in time.
Thanks for putting out the videos. Much to be learned.
Hey Michael- thanks for reaching out and for subscribing, I appreciate it! For your question, I used a full rate of glyphosate to kill the grasses and weeds just before broadcasting the seed. Glyphosate is a contact killer so it's only going to kill stuff that is green and actively growing, it doesn't have any residual effect on the soil, which is why I was able to seed right away. As for blends, being in TX, I would recommend something like the Rut Greens Warm Climate blend. Hope that helps, my email is jaredjamesmills@gmail.com if you have any other questions. Best of luck!
Getting very close. Great video Jared.
Thanks Mitchell!
That is genius with the backpack sprayer I’m stealing that idea and doing mine the same way. I’m tired of looking like I’m out there with a magic wand 🤣
Haha! I know what you mean with the magic wand. The boom is way easier and results in better coverage too. Good luck!
Thanks man, after watching that video you posted last year early season with those 4 year old studs you passed, my exact thoughts were, I wanna know what food plot mix he uses! Thanks again for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us. Tagged my biggest deer last year just by doing more hang and hunts on our farms after watching your videos and seeing your amazing success. Best of luck and God bless.
Love it! Those were some fun early season hunts for sure. And congrats on the biggest deer! Those hang and hunts can be killer. Appreciate you as always.

That buck at 1:45 is a stud
Thanks for being down to earth
Appreciate you Jay hope all is well
Walk us thru the 3 nozzle sprayer set up
Somebody been working out! 😊
So Jared was wondering what u use to kill the grasses when u plant this way. love your content. Always liked watching u on Midwest Whitetail
Hey Mark- I assume you're talking about after the plot has grown? If so, I typically will spray with clethodim. It takes a little while for them to die off, but it doesn't harm the other species in the food plot. Thanks for the support!
Would you broadcast 50 lbs medium red clover across 7 to 8 acres in fall. I am in mostly a wooded area in north east michigan. Seems like everything is pounded starting early august. I was thinking off broadcasting mostly cereals with red clover this fall. I do have some rr soybeans that are doing well but i added buckwheat and millet at planting and just sprayed them being the beans big enough to handle the browse now. Winke and You have a great channels.
Hey Travis- thanks for watching. With the clover, you're not as likely to end up with much food for the fall when doing a fall planting like that. It will come back strong in the spring though, so it just depends on your goals. The cereal grains will be good, and I'd consider adding some brassicas to that to increase the amount of forage. Let me know if you have any other questions, good luck!
Hey Jared, always love the content. I would like to take a shot at making a food plot for this fall. You made the spring plot look so easy, and I've always thought you needs tons of equipment to do it. Can your fall plots be put in just as easy and have some success? Interested on how I would go about doing that. Would love to try some of your seeds.
Hey John- absolutely. I do plenty of fall plots like this every year. Either of the blends I mentioned in this video would be suitable for that. If you have any questions on the process or anything else, feel free to shoot me an email jaredjamesmills@gmail.com. Good luck!
You can definitely do a fall plot the same way. I spray my field with Glyphosate and spread Winter Rye in the same day. You will have a great plot.
Do you feel the deer you have early summer stick around till the fall and through the hunting season?
Hey Tyson- it varies for me. I have some that do, and some that don't. Most of the properties I have access to don't have many of the remote summer spots like I mentioned in the video, but I will say keeping the clover/chicory in there year round has resulted in holding more deer. The deer that don't stick around for the summer, typically come back around the September time frame and are relatively consistent throughout the hunting season.
I've got a 1/4 acre spot in middle tennessee. What blend would you recommend for something to last most of the hunting season
I’d like to try and get a fall plot going . Have never done a plot before. Maybe just a couple small 1/4 acre plots to try it out for the first time. So July 20-3aug 20 before a rain for planting. But before the planting what do I need to do the prep the spot I want to put the plots in? Should I mow then spray or visa versa? Spray then burn with fire once dies? The two spots I have in mind are currently fescue and canary grass mainly with various weeds
Hey Sam, awesome to hear. Yes, the more your spot is prepared, the better your results will be. Assuming it is pretty tall with weeds, if possible, I would mow it, then spray about a week or so later after things start actively growing again. From there, you have some options. You could seed right into that as long as it looks like the small seeds will make it to the dirt and have good seed-to-soil contact. Or, you could burn off the dead thatch once it's completely dead so that all your soil is exposed, then broadcast the seed. Or, if you plant to disc or till, the ideal scenario is to work the ground, let whatever weeds/grass re-germinate, then spray them again in 10 days or so before broadcasting seed. That will give you the best chance of not having much weed competition in your plot. Hope that helps, I don't want it to be overwhelming for your first go at it. Feel free to reach out if I can help further. My email is jaredjamesmills@gmail.com.
Jared, in March this year I frost seeded some clover in a power line right of way and when I mowed it awhile few weeks ago the clover just is good enough to keep but it isn’t great. What you you recommend seeding into right before a rain this fall to make it a little better? Then next spring I would likely frost seed it again to try to make the clover better. Also in your video I noticed you were wearing a half face mask with cartridge filters on it while you were spraying. Is that something you always do or was it because of a certain chemical you were using? Thanks DJ
Hey DJ- With the mask, I wasn't spraying any different chemical, I'm just trying to be better about protection when it comes to that stuff, especially when backpack spraying out in the open. For your plot, you have a couple options (without knowing exactly what it looks like). If you want some immediate food for this fall, you could broadcast a combination of brassicas and cereal grains prior to a rain, which would give you food and you'd still be able to go frost seed more clover like you mentioned. Or, you could do a combination of cereal grains and clover, with the idea being you might have enough clover established going into next spring without having to worry about frost seeding. For seeding rate, I would just use your best judgement based on how much good clover you already have and how many bare spots you have to fill in. Hope that helps.
Hey Jared, I’m out of central MS.
What blends would you Recommend for down here?
I appreciate the content. Keep it going man
Hey man, thanks for watching and reaching out. For down there, I know guys have had good luck with the Rut Greens Warm Climate version. It's a little less bulb heavy. The other one that could be an option if you want something different is the Velvet Season mix (monsterbuck.com/products/velvet-season). It's good summer forage but for southern guys, it will last longer into the season. Let me know if you have any questions!
Won't be long! 🏹🦌
It's coming fast!
Do you feel NE KS would be in that same date range for planting food plots? Thanks for all the knowledge Jared!
Hey Collin, I would say it'd be pretty close to that, yeah. Especially with you guys having a little earlier season opener than us (I think).
I have a question, do the deer spook when you put a camera on a T post in the middle of the field? I always try to conceal mine so it doesn't stick out.
I haven't seen them spook from it. They will come to investigate it when it's new, about like they do anything, but they get used to it quick and don't spook. I just looked and saw there were quite a few deer feeding around this one I put out yesterday within hours of me putting it up. A couple does came and sniffed it, but then just fed around.
Great video, where did you purchase that 3 way boom for your sprayer?
Thanks! I got that one from Chapin (chapinmfg.com/products/chapin-6-7781-3-nozzle-poly-boom-wand)
Thanks Jared! What fertilizer did you spread? I assume pelletized stuff.
Thanks for watching! And yeah, on this one I used a granular 6-24-24.
Looks like that tall tined one with the split brows may be a target for you this year. Do you know how old he is?
I don't know for sure on that one, he just recently showed up so I need to go back and do a little research and see if I can find him!
Hey Jared, you may have answered this, but I was wondering what sprayer and boom you were using in your last midway USA video covering poor man plots? Thanks!
Hey Randon- I got both the sprayer and 3 nozzle boom from Chapin. If you have issues finding it let me know!
@@jaredmills thank you!
In central Missouri. Do you recommend the rut greens warm climate or cold climate. Thanks!
You could go either way, but I'd go cold climate. You could always add some of your own oats/winter wheat if you wanted to add to the diversity of it. Best of luck!
Hey Jared season is comming soon! So my question is I have basically 2 acre kill plot ..I live in New York ..could u mix the one plot and the rut greens? I know u mentioned it but for a kill plot which one would u go with that u think would be most attractive? Thank u!
Hey Mikey Boy- you could certainly mix them. They are overall pretty similar blends, it's just that the One Plot has the cereal grains included. Your other option would be to just buy the Rut Greens CC and buy some cereal grains locally to mix in, that would save you on some shipping costs. Hope that helps!
@@jaredmills what’s up, Jared? Just wondering a question for you I tied up my food plot and I wanted to spread the seed out. I won’t have time to spray, but I have rain coming just out of curiosity is anything glyphosate resistant? What do you think would be the best option for me to do?
What will you spray the clover / chicory plot to kill weeds?
For grasses, I just clethodim. And I'll likely just mow to control the broadleaf weeds in this plot. But if you need to spray and don't want to harm the clover and chicory, you can look into Imazamox or Octivio.
Man another great vid Jared. Was readin through some of the comments and i tip my hat to u. U are one of the VERY FEW that actually takes the time to read and reply to our comments and thats why i look forward to ur vids. U are very helpful and informative. Not to mention inspirational as well. I wrote down ur email, hope thats ok, cause i have some issues with my .5 acre spot im trying to play around with. If its alright i email u i think u an really help me out.
Hey John- I appreciate the kind words. Feel free to shoot me an email anytime, I’d be happy to try and help you figure out your plot. Thanks for watching!
Do you know if your old “recurve buck” made it through??
Unfortunately he did not, I'll try and provide and update on that buck soon.
What percentage of anter growth (roughly) has taken place by now? Thanks
I would guess that most of the bucks I'm seeing are close to 75%, obviously that can vary though. Most of them it's just adding tine length now
Jared- what herbicide do you use on your food plots?
A little bit of that and a lot of manual labor food plots!
do you ship to Canada? love on content! Thank you
Hey James- I checked with the guys and unfortunately we can't ship to Canada. They said something about the regulations for seed. Sorry about that. Thanks for watching!
Does Scheels sell your monsterbuck seed blends or do you have to order it and pay shipping? Are there any dealers in south central iowa ?
Hey Troy- Scheels does carry some of our blends but not all their locations do. At this time they are the only one but hoping to expand that soon. The website is the only other option at the moment, and the code NEW will take 20% off to help offset the shipping cost. Thanks for watching!
@@jaredmills ok thanks Jared !
Did you make that sprayer attachment?
No I didn't, I got it from Chapin, they have a couple different versions.
Jared- Are any of your seeds no plow?
Hey Jeremy- yes, any of these small seeds (clover, chicory, brassicas, etc) can be just broadcasted. Each spot is a little different in terms of prep, but the better seed to soil contact you have, the better germination you'll get when just broadcasting the seed. Let me know if you have any questions!
