Design Your Food Plot Properly

After the overwhelming success of our first web class in 2020, I'm really excited to bring you our second installment in our Web Class Series: How To Plant And Design A Food Plot Program.

What drives the ultimate success of your deer habitat, deer herd and deer hunting dreams? Your food plots!

From great soils to poor soils and so many soil types in-between, my journey began in 1995 with very little information available to the average food plotter. I found by pushing the limits of the Food Plot Planting Basics, there were a multitude of concepts that formed to create the basis for what I personally teach and use to this day.

Those basics make up the foundation of my food plot concepts that I originated many years ago, which you will learn in this Web Class.

Food plots are so powerful that, as an attraction, they have the ability to deliver success or failure in the management of your entire whitetail aspirations.

If you build your food plots correctly, you can reach your whitetail rewards quickly and efficiently; but, built incorrectly, you will experience the risk of a common, frustrating downward spiral of annual diminishing returns.

I am thankful that you are considering this class to guide you on the path towards your land’s ultimate potential of success!

By the end of this web class, you will earned the knowledge necessary to be the neighborhood deer influencer. And you will raise your land’s potential.

Jeff With Buck

Your Instructor

Jeff Sturgis takes decades of pursuing his passion, and then professionally transfers those pursuits into the enhancement of his client’s, reader's and viewer's hunting and habitat experiences, across the entire country. Jeff prides himself in creating the healthiest free-ranging deer herds in the world of whitetails, as well as taking on the challenge of hunting the oldest bucks in the neighborhood. Not only has he been able to create, own and operate a successful business in the whitetail industry since 2005, but he has been able to work along side his wife Diane while doing so.

Jeff received the QDMA's Deer Manager of the Year award in 2004, and hasn't stopped learning since. After studying and creating over 1000 whitetail videos and articles, as well as working on over 1000 client lands across 26 whitetail states, Jeff is in a league of his own when it comes to the ability to design your habitat, herd and hunt - anywhere a whitetail roams!

Dylan Thank you for an amazing day.
—Mike- WI

Every time I think of something I'd like to hear you discuss, you end up doing it within your next couple of videos. Keep up the quality info. Thanks.
—Jesse

I highly recommend any of Jeff's books to any serious whitetail hunter and manager. By far some of the most beneficial whitetail literature today.
—Michael M

Hey Jeff. You are fantastic at what you do, I think i speak for a lot of people when I say, Jeff is doing what he was meant to in life!
—Hyena

Pure gold Jeff, thank you again!
—Edward

Once you understand habitat and how to manipulate it the hunting part is easy. This guy will open your eyes to making your hunting better and more predictable.
—Brad C

This isn't your everyday deer hunting B.S. Jeff has very concrete ideas about deer movement that I will be able to implement on my property.
—Bob

Jeff has allowed me to take the advanced principles of land management, and put them to use on my property in a language I could understand.
—Eric E

Hey Jeff, thanks again for another great video! We all really appreciate the time you guys spend to put these together!
—Jake

I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their property's food plots, bedding areas and who wants to get that mature buck on the wall.
—Josh K

A beautiful field of green is only part of your overall success!

Since 2005 I have designed over 1000 deer parcels for paying clients in 26 states. However, I understand that not every individual can pay my daily rate of nearly $3000. Also, even though I am visited 125 clients during the 2020 client season, that total number is likely the most I will ever visit again. I really like to stay home more often throughout the year to spend time with family, friends and the whitetail lands that I personally work and hunt on. I am often asked to complete online or phone consultations and those practices simply are not effective and even with the level of experience that I carry, I do not believe that those level of services create enough depth and value to place my stamp of approval on. Due to a lack of time, folks that simply can’t afford to have me visit their land and the level of inaccuracy that online or phone consultations provide, my WHS web classes have been born!

Become a herd influencer

I am extremely excited to deliver to you what I feel is an exceptional compromise between my actual boots on the ground at your deer parcel versus the lower level of accuracy for online and phone consultations. What I try do my best through my web class is to take you through the logical progression of steps for what it takes to design your food plot program in person, by allowing you to make the decisions of balance needed to accurately build a plan that fits you, your resources, your land and the local needs of the whitetail herd. These concepts work, and have been originated by me personally and have been proven over decades of work by tens of thousands of viewers, readers and clients. While these are the concepts that flood my books and over 1000 articles and videos that can be found on my website and YouTube channel, this is the most comprehensive set of content that can be used to effectively design a successful food plot program – within the steps that you should work to complete them in.

By the conclusion of the class you should know where your food plots should go, the differences between different types of food plots (holding, hunting, destination), food sources, calibrating your sprayer, use of chemicals, use of soil tests, and much more – and WHY!

My WHS Web Classes (with more to come) are the next best thing to having me design your land in person, and I am excited to open the availability of these classes to a far greater number of folks than the number I personally work with per year – at a much more affordable price!

What Others Are Saying


Huge shout out to Jeff Sturgis and his infinite whitetail wisdom. I installed a waterhole back in August just for this one particular buck after watching Jeff's videos. Before too long all the deer in the vicinity were hammering it including this guy. Fast forward to the morning of October 27th when a hot doe was thirsty around 8:20 AM and led this guy right past me at 30 yards.

Since watching Jeff’s videos and reading his articles, I’ve completely changed the way I think and strategize my habitat work. As I’ve taken on his strategies as my own, I have learned to transition my hunting properties to improve the habitat as well as my food plots for better fall hunting, and the results speak for themselves!

“Thanks buddy!! I'm so looking forward to future hunts, especially after we finish getting property setup from your recommendations. Just need to finish the bedding areas and interior paths. I can see a big difference already from last season!”

Mike W- Ohio

Greetings Jeff, Thank you for all of your shared knowledge, i have literally watched every u-tube video you have shared. I live in Drums Pa. 18222. I recently purchased a small plot of 5 acres which borders approximately 400 acres of privately owned wooded area. I have hunted for over 20 years in this area harvesting great bucks every year, I am also surrounded by hundreds of acres of corn / soybean fields, with that said, As I am a green horn planter I exclusively use your Techniques of Hinge cutting / layering rye with huge success. I currently plant 1 acre of rye and 1 acre of white clover around my new house which covers the remaining acres, my thoughts with the clover is aesthetically looks great, better than standard grass. I am learning that these types of plots are holding the deer and turkeys year round. I let both plots grow to seed for fawning and poult cover, I will cut 1st week of August then start cycle all over again, Bottom line is, Thank you so much for "free" training, its the best. If ever your in my neck of the woods i would love to meet you and assist you in any way! Sincerely, John

John M- Pennsylvania

Hi Jeff,
Just a quick thank you for using your passion for hunting and teaching to help hunters like myself. I have been hunting Whitetail for seven years, but by taking the time to learn and be strategic, I have become ten times the hunter I was last year! Much of that is thanks to you. I was able to fill three tags this year; one being my first harvest with a bow and one being my first buck. It feels great!
I wish you the best and look forward to learning more from you and supporting you in the coming years.
