Good book for hunting land owners/manager, 31 Dec 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Planting Food Plots for Deer and Other Wildlife: The Ultimate Guide (Hardcover)
As someone who is new to managing a hunting property for personal use, I found John Weiss' book to be a very valuable resource. Lots of information on where to start, what deer and other wildlife prefer in terms of vegetation, and on where and how much to plant. The book is primarily designed for someone who has a mixed field/hardwood property and who has the ability to put in some serious time to improve the habitat. It is well written and interesting and chocked full of information - good value for the money.

Is this a book or a commercial for the foodplot industry???, 11 Aug 2003
By "ranwin33" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Planting Food Plots for Deer and Other Wildlife: The Ultimate Guide (Hardcover)
I don't want to say I was disappointed with the book, but much of the information is too basic and can easily be found in greater detail in just about any magazine dealing with QDM. In reading the book I often felt like I was reading an advertisement for many of the companies now selling designer seed blends and other QDM tools. The author is never critical of anything, be it a designer seed blend, a food plot tool, or a management practice, for example the PlotMaster the author recommends is only good for soil already turned by a plow or large disk, yet this is not mentioned. He would also have you believe that planting seed can be as simple as broadcasting it onto some properly limed and fertilized ground, then packed down with a heavy roller. Trust me, its not.
All things considered, I found the book a good read as a quick summary of food plot development, but by no means should it be considered a useful tool from which to develop appropriate food plot plans for your property.

Food Plots are Hot, 11 Jun 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Planting Food Plots for Deer and Other Wildlife: The Ultimate Guide (Hardcover)
Planting Food Plots for Deer and Other Wildlife is a well written comprehensive book on food plots for wildlife. John Weiss is a respected outdoor writer who touches on a variety of wildlife subjects in his treatment of creating food plots and habitat for wildlife.The book is easy to follow and very informative and will be a welcome addition to the libraries of land owners with an interest in wildlife.
Weisses treatment of food plots covers planting practices in some depth and will provide much useful information to beginers. Dougherty and Dougherty's new book "Grow 'em Right" picks up where Weiss leaves off and offers more in depth information on hunting, habitat development and food plots but together they make a nice book package. Add Alsheimer's new Quality Deer Managment book to the mix and you have it all.
