End of Summer Food Plot? When most people think of planting food plots, they envision planting them during the months of May or June, and then watching their crops grow throughout the spring and summer months. Many don't view the dog days of summer as a time to be planting food plots. Most deer hunters plant the usual varieties of plants to give their local deer the extra nutrients to encourage healthy body weights and antler growth. Unfortunately, most of the hunters really aren't providing their local deer the well rounded, yearly feed that they should be providing.

Badlands Hypervent Backpack Review If you are the type of hunter that likes to throw on a pack and hike to your destination, you have probably spent time evaluating packs. One downside to an early season hunt is that it can be warm and with the heat comes sweat. Most day packs have a cloth backing that rides against your back, which traps heat and after a few hours your back side can be drenched. External frame packs offer relief by moving the weight to the frame and keeping it off your back. The downside is that bulky external frame packs do not tend to be as convenient as a daypack.
