Default RE: Suggestions for this Property

Hello Rob,

It sounds like you are on the right track, and then some. Planting some plots and encouraging thick growth for bedding areas are real steps forward.

Without knowing the deer patterns, or prevailing wind in your area, its difficult to say exactly what to do. In general, You want your best food plots toward the center of your property, that would include clovers and or corn. Your property appears to have a couple decent looking spots for plots along the borders in two places, I'd consider a fall planted cereal grain like rye, or winter wheat here to hunt over in these places. I assume you have no intention of planting all 35 acres, so I picked what looked good for planting in my eyes, green=green food plot, Yellow =corn.

When considering improving bedding areas, remember that at least 1 side of your food plot(s) should border thick, bedding type cover, you'll see more use this way.

Good luck,
