If your other members aren't keen on QDM nothing you say will convince them , that patch is too small for that anyway , especially with all that "unimproved" public land surrounding it . The best thing you could do would be to plant some food plots and hope that every yahoo hunting the public ground around you doesn't start trespassing when the deer start coming in . Get a good soil test from your local extention agent and see what your soil needs , then start your preparations , but don't expect miracles with that many people hunting the same small patch of ground .
