Sure, food plots can attract bucks to your land, but they can't keep them there. Only prime cover can do that. Whitetails need shelter when rough weather comes, and they need security all year round.

With a little careful planning, you can even arrange and customize it to help set up the perfect ambush for an unsuspecting trophy. The following slides describe five ways to get started.
