Should I create food plots in valleys or on the ridgetops?
Filed under: Food Plots
Question
I recently purchased 206 acres in northern Michigan that is 95% woods with mature oaks and white pine. My previous property was flat, but this property has a lot of hills and ridges. Where would you suggest I make my food plots, on top of the hills or in the valleys? Any advise will be appreciated!
Ron,
There are many variables. However, in general I prefer food plots to be on ridgetops. This is because the wind usually swirls much less on ridgetops compared to in the valleys.
I certainly suggest plots designed especially for stand/blind locations be on ridgetops!
Enjoy creation,
