If you are looking for a practical book on deer, turkey, upland birds and other wildlife food plot management, this is the best of all the books I have read. The book is based on the use of affordable equipment, Biologic seed products and sound agricultural practice. I have increased deer activity and estimated that the turkey population has tripled in 1.5 years.
This is an excellent book at a low price.

This book is an alright basic guide to food plots. The botanist in me is terrified at the chapter titled: Alfalfa and other perennial grasses. This is because alfalfa is a legume not a grass. This and many other technical details cause the rating of this book to drop.
This book also outlines many commercial food plot blends. While this is great I'd love to see an updated version of this list and of the book.
I have read Quality Food Plots by QDMA and that is a book worth reading and rereading.

John has written a great book here that will be an easy read. If you are starting a deer farm, or just want more knowledge. It's not too long of a book and gets to the point. I myself am excited to try some suggestions offered in this book. You will find places suggested to purchase certain seed, etc. For the money - it was a great value! Add this to your shelf for reference at minimum!
Thanks for a great book John!

Book is a great place to start when considering habitat improvement. Goes beyond just the simple foodplot info, presents general info on habitat improvement. Comparable to other starter books on this topic. Easy to read.

I think I really hit on something when I bought my husband two of these Outdoorsman's Edge books. He really found the book to be informative and well written. He said he learned ways to "correct" his food plots. He said it was very specific on the products to use and how to get them. "Excellent" in his opinion.

I have not gotten all the way through this book yet, but it is a good information on food plots and their benefits. I will definitely use some information from this book in my food plot management on our new property.
