Most deer hunters enjoy taking care of their deer herd. Providing food/nutrition is a major part of that. Especially after the rut when bucks have lost an incredible percentage of body weight and are at their most vulnerable. Planting those winter food plots is an essential way to make sure that your bucks have what they need in order to recover. In part 1 of our miniseries on whitetail management- Dr. James Kroll, (aka Dr. Deer) breaks down when we should plant those winter food plots and what kinds of nutrients we should look for in a seed. We also get into protein feeds and when those should be offered as well.

We round things out when Justin Beckendorf of Double JJ Outfitters drops in. Justin and his partner Joe having been hunting the Katy Prairie their entire lives. With over 1.5 million ducks and 1 million geese wintering along the Upper Texas Coast it’s no secret that it’s one of the nations premiere waterfowl destinations and we talk about the beauties of hunting such a place.
