Hunting in Northern Ontario—especially around Mattawa and North Bay—isn’t just a pastime, it’s a way of life. And if you want to take things up a notch, a food plot is the way to go. But let’s be honest—prepping the land isn’t as simple as throwing down some seed and hoping for the best.
That’s where we come in. Canada Brush Control clears your land and gets it fully prepped for planting—removing trees, digging out stumps, and ensuring the ground is ready to grow. No wasted weekends fighting with chainsaws and heavy equipment. We do the hard work so you can focus on the hunt.
And with spring right around the corner, now is the perfect time to start planning and preparing your food plot. Giving it time to establish through the growing season will ensure it’s ready when hunting season rolls around.
Step 1: Find the Right Spot
Location is everything. If you already have a natural clearing, great. If not, and your ideal spot is covered in thick brush, trees, and undergrowth, we’ll take care of it.
Step 2: Clearing It the Right Way
You can’t just knock down a few trees and call it a food plot. If you want bare, plant-ready soil, it takes more than just a chainsaw and some determination.
Here’s how we get it done:
- Tree removal – We take out trees completely, leaving no obstacles behind.
- Stump and root removal – We dig out stumps entirely instead of grinding them, so nothing is left to slow you down.
- Brush and weed clearing – Thick brush and aggressive weeds? Gone.
- Rough grading – We level the land as best as possible, depending on ground conditions, so it’s in the best shape for planting.
With the right equipment and experience, we get the job done faster and better than trying to DIY it.
Step 3: Get It Ready for Planting
Once your land is cleared, it’s time to plant the right food sources to attract and sustain local deer. The best options include:
- Spring/Summer: Clover and alfalfa—nutrient-packed and irresistible to deer.
- Fall/Winter: Corn, soybeans, turnips, and sugar beets—essential high-energy food for cold months.
A well-prepared food plot does more than improve your hunting—it helps sustain the local wildlife population, which is especially important in Northern Ontario’s tough winters.
Already Have a Food Plot? We Offer Maintenance Too
If you already have a food plot, it might need some upkeep before the growing season starts. Over time, weeds, brush, and thick growth can take over, reducing its effectiveness.
We offer brush hogging and cutting services to help maintain your food plot so it stays productive year after year. Whether it needs a quick trim or a full refresh, we’ve got it covered.
