We set out to discuss planting Spring Food Plots with Jacob Womack of Mossy Oak Gamekeepers, but this interview turned into much more. Jacob takes us from the ‘what’ to plant, how to plant, and all of the different varieties that you might consider in between. We also get into planting equipment, minerals, trailcams and a variety of other topics.
