Title: High elevation food plots???
Post by: JJB11B on December 11, 2011, 01:29:56 AM: Does anybody have any info on making a small food plot in eastern washington...this would be situated in the blue mountains on biscuit ridge bordering the water shed. I have 20 acres there and a hand pump well. I have pictures of some nice bucks in the area but I want to create that little slice of tree stand heaven.

They will help you determine what the best mix of stuff to plant. I say mix because you will want a summer plant that brings them their but unless you bowhunt you will need a fall/winter plant that will keep them coming.
