Dougherty’s Revised  Habitat and Food Plot Book is Truly New and Improved

Neil and Craig Dougherty’s first book, “Grow ‘Em Right,” became a best seller and industry standard almost overnight. It motivated thousands of hunter/landowners to give habitat development and food plots a try  and helped create quality deer hunting for thousands outdoorsmen. The new Revised Edition will do even more.

Unlike some revisions that change a word here and a photo there, “Grow ‘Em Right-Revised Edition” has undergone a major overhaul. It features dozens of new photos, page after page of revisions, three new cutting-edge chapters and two essays which are changing the way people think about whitetail management.

Neil is known for his property layout and deer hunting prowess, and he reveals many of his secrets in “Professional Property Layout” and “The Answer is Blow’n in the Wind”. These two “growing and hunting mature deer” chapters alone are worth the price of the Revised Edition. Craig’s essays on Aldo Leopold and land stewardship are already classics.   

New information is included on food plot maintenance, using chemicals to defeat weeds, and new and improved seed blends. Of special interest to food plot enthusiasts will be “Planting by the Compass,” a fresh new chapter on how to match seed blends with food plot locations to maximize hunting success.

According to Neil, “We revised the book because things are happening so fast in the food plot and deer world. New chemicals, new seed blends, new equipment and new reader questions made our first book---well, a little dated. I also developed a number of new property layout and hunting techniques which I was eager to get in print. I am very proud of this book.”

“Many first edition owners have already bought the “Revised Edition” and are even happier with the new book,” commented Craig. “Our first book motivated thousands to give this stuff a try; our second teaches the basics while introducing our readers to some pretty advanced hunting and management concepts.”

It’s a “must read” for land managers, serious deer hunters, and wildlife enthusiasts alike. Price $19.95, pages 280.
