On my property I had a 4 acre overgrown field brushhogged down last summer. Soon after I spread lime and fertilizer over a small area of the field (30'x40 foot) with the hopes of planting soybeans just to see how they grew. Well I never got the beans in. However while scouting and hunting during archery season EVERY deer that entered the field headed straight to the little area in the middle of the field. This might be a way for the lazy man to plant a food plot?
Two years ago I planted sperate food plot. It is a 75x75 foot area of red clover from the local Agway(the bulk stuff). It has done very well. The deer are in it every evening. During archery I had 9 deer AT THE SAME TIME in this little area mowing down the clover. I almost s--- myself. So you don't have to spend the big bucks to have a productive food plot.
