The Science

Trophy Food Plots

The question has came up time after time during the seminars that we put on or at a sports show that we may attend. “Do food plots really work?” Well if the photo on the right doesn’t tell the story I don’t know what will. This bad boy was standing in the middle of the 2 acre plot at 3pm as I was walking to the stand that is behind me.
He didn’t flinch when he seen me on the hill approaching. He was more interested in eating than running. Start planning your 2010 food plots today so you can feed and keep the deer on your farm.      

We use only Government inspected Certified seed. Certified seed- of a known variety produced under strict standards to maintain varietal purity. Beware of Common #1 seeds. There is no guarantee of the purity of the variety and the germination is also lower, you will regret buying it.

Big Bucks Don’t Just Happen!    

If your a Canadian and want a seed blend that works in our climates look no further then the Rack Stacker Food Plots. These are Canadian Food Plots that are meant to grow in our conditions. We have designed these seeds for specific situations in the field and are our own unique balance of seeds. I have planted plenty of food plots in the past and have been disappointed everytime. I can only imagine how many other Canadian hunters have been unsuccessful in their plantings. These are seeds that will grow in Canada with the right preperation. Containing Canadian Certified seeds you won’t go wrong with planting our plots in Canada.         

Ever wonder why Canada is not on the packaging of U.S produced food plot mixes? It’s because our soils are different and need specific seeds to be productive.         

Better your soil conditions by doing a soil test and get results

This is a 2 year old Rack Stacker Superb-uck plot over seeded the following year with our Rack Stacker Amplified Food Plot. You can have the same results!!

 

Brassicas!! (a great winter carry over food) that you won’t believe.
We use Rival Turnips that are taller growing and easier for the deer to access as well as a Kale Hybrid that grows up to 3′ tall. Rape is always a favorite of the whitetail in the late season as soon as frost has set in. We have now added Canola which not only produces great tonnage but also helps build body mass naturally. Talk about Tonnage of food. Fertilize with a 13-13-13 or 19-19-19. 300 lbs to the acre and it’ll be a riot to watch these plants scream out of the ground in such a short time. We use all these forages in our blends.      

If your looking for Brassicas to plant on your land then look no further than our Field Edge. Containing the BEST whitetail late season forage you can find, and its for planting right here in Canada.

You won’t find another Clover forage that will grow half the size of your palm! Tonnage, Tonnage, Tonnage! 6-8 tons of forage per acre if planted properly. Do your soil tests, its not a corner that can be cut if you looking for maximum results. You must also feed your plants the proper fertilizer.      

       

Clovers don’t need Nitrogen after they are established so only fertilize with a 0-20-20 or equivalent. make sure that first # is as low as possible. Fertilize 300 lbs to the acre. This goes for our Superb-uck and Amplified Food Plots.     

You will be blown away at how much tonnage of food is produced with our mixes. Certified seeds to grow in Canadian soils.         

This photo is off the tailgate of my truck. That’s right, 16″ of solid whitetail forage from one plant. The Chicory plant (to the right) measures over 10″ in length. Everytime you drop your tail gate this fall I want you to know how much forage is produced with Rack Stacker Brand Food Plots.  

       

You will find these forages in Sweet Success. Rack Stacker’s Sweet Success Food Plot is the first blend we have developed and is in our opinion, is the best blend for diverse planting. Whether your trying to bring in Deer, Turkey Small game or all of the above this is the blend for you. Sweet Success has 12 different types of seeds in it and offers a diverse blend of forage for all times of the year.

Its a taller growing plot which works great at providing cover for wildlife but still can be shot through.

The Rack Stacker Walk N Toss Food plot is something else. Simple effective planting and is a blend that should be implimented on every deer hunters farm. Walk N Toss is easy to plant and only takes a couple minutes with a rake. Turn that Four Wheeler trail, Log landing or pocket  into a dynamite Food Plot Trail that will walk the game right to your stand.

These are Canadian made Food Plots made to produce.

Feeding Whitetail Deer

There’s a few things you should know.  

Feeding corn or hay to deer can do more harm than good. It will bring on Rumenitis – an inflamation of the rumen often caused by Carbohydrate engorgment.
Feed facts!
 
1.
Corn in the field contains up to 50% moisture while corn from the mill ONLY has 14%. Its harder for your deer to digest corn that you put out for them during the winter months without having adequate moisture.
2.
If adequate moisture is not in the feed that you are giving your local herd then Rumenitis may occur. Feed may ferment in the Rumen before being fully digested, often putting deer into a coma and killing the deer your feeding.
3.
During the Canadian winter months Whitetail Deers water consumption drops dramatically once Lakes, Rivers and Creeks freeze up. Typically in Janurary through March. If your feeding you local herd straight corn with a lower moisture content, your deers Rumen is having to work harder to digest that feed. This will do numerous chain reactions in the body of the whitetail deer.
4.
First – the deer will go and bed with a full stomach. Being a Rumenant animal (4 stomach of digestion) they regurgitate thier food numberous times to break it down and to get out all the needed energy, carbohydrates, fat, protein as well as fibre out of the food. With food digested on a daily basis the deers stomach create heat. (keeping them warm)
Second – While the deer is regurgitating that food it is thinking that everything is fine and that it trying to burn out the normal winter months and waiting until spring but in fact, the moisture level is not in the feed to digest the corn that it had ingested hours before and now is robbing the body of much needed moisture in order to digest it.
Third - Now the corn is past the digest period, the deer still knows that it has feed in its stomach and is probably starting to feel some pain. Fermentation starts to happen in the Rumen. This is called “Rumenitis”.
5.
Bad toxins are sent through the body of the deer. The deers body reacts and could cause coma and even death. It often takes 12-18 hours for this to happen so you won’t know whats going on.
Feeding your deer hay/clover/alfalfa mixtures during the winter could be harmful too
.
6
Whitetail deer need certain micro-organisms to break down the clovers and alfalfas. Because Whitetail deer feeding habits change daily their body adjusts to what it is eaten. If Janurary comes, its been a bad winter and you think well they where in the alfalfa field why don’t I through out a bale to help out. DONT. During that time of year moisture content is up and the deer are use to eating fresh greens and their body can slowly adapt to what they are eating but it has been found in the past that deer (especially yearling deer) don’t have this organism during the winter months to break down the feed you have given them. The deer have a full stomach of feed and don’t feel that they need to eat. Their stomach stays full because their body does not digest it, resulting in starvation. Do you want to help out naturally? Cut some fire wood for yourself and drag the limbs to a feeding area. Deer are also attracted to an area where a chainsaw has been they know what is going on.
.
There are feeds on the market that are sold at co-ops and local feed mills. They call them rations, and are often that. Sweepings from the floors, often the mix changes on a weekly basis and is inconsistant. you can’t control anything that you are feeding your deer. I have even seen flipped beef tags that are fermented with “deer” on the back side writen in pen. I can understand the co-op trying to make their money back but it isn’t fare to the deer.
