Scouting – Are Bucks In The Food Plot?

Posted by Robert Hoague | Sep 28, 2010

After checking my wireless camera this morning I was pleased to see several bucks in the pictures. The wireless camera is on a trail that leads to a wide funnel that my main food plot is on the far edge of. But pictures from the trail does not mean the bucks went to, or came from, the food plot.

I sure was anxious to see the pictures from the Moultrie camera set up on my main food plot. Since I’ve been gone this month I’m not up to date with what happened after the wild hogs rooted up part of the food plot back in July and August. When I got back this Sunday I was happy to see that recent rains had brought back my Heartland Pro Forage food plot.

A quick review of the pictures told me the very same bucks from the other pics went to the food plot. Some ate the new growth and some just walked by. One buck was clearly in the face of a doe. And another buck has locked horns with a buck that is mostly off the picture.

In 1996 I moved my bowhunting web site from the members sites at aol.com to its own domain and www.Bowhunting.net was born. My vision for it was a place on the internet for bowhunters of all ages; men, women and youth — from the seasoned to the newbies as well as anyone interested in bowhunting or archery. These days Bowhunting.net has 25,000 pages about bowhunting and archery and receives nearly a million unique visitors a year. From the beginning I reported daily in Online Bowhunts and various Events.
