Ep. 1023: Back 40 - Why Deer Ignore Your Food Plots (Biggest Mistakes Landowners Make)
This week on Back 40, we’re tackling a frustration just about every landowner has faced at some point: you plant a beautiful food plot… and the deer barely touch it. We asked one simple question: Why aren’t deer using your food plots? To answer it, we brought in four guys who’ve spent years figuring this out the hard way—Thomas Mlsna, Jared Van Hees, Kyle Heuerman, and Terry Peer. From poor plot placement and overlooked soil issues to hunting pressure and treating food plots like a silver bullet, each guest breaks down the biggest mistakes they see—and what actually gets deer to use a plot consistently. We also get into the importance of transition vs destination, how to properly gauge utilization with cages, and why plot size and pressure are often more connected than you think. One question. Four perspectives. Endless insight.

This week on the show I’m joined by Thomas Mlsna of Untamed Ambition to break down the habitat projects that actually move the needle for mature whitetails. We dive into the difference between busy work and impactful improvements, why most habitat plans fail, and how access and pressure often matter more than the habitat itself.
