Default RE: food plot and stand placement

I'd create 10 acres of sanctuary out in the middle of what is now field; two 5 acre areas of tangled brush connected by 100 foot width of same. I'd plant autumn olive and your fastest growing evergreens and let nature fill the voids. I'd try to orient this santuary SW to NE, then put food plots on the east sides of the santuary. I'd plant small areas of vegetation on the east corners of the plots to one day screen your blinds or become natural blinds. Your prevailing wind is no doubt NW, so your approach to the blinds would be upwind. You might consider planting corn east-west to screen your approach to the stand locations. As to rules: no entering the santuary untill post season unless you are recovering a deer. No antlerless deer taken until the rut is over. Only antler restriction outside the ears (15 inches) if you can sell it to the group. Sounds like a dream.. if you can keep the public out! Good luck.
