Default RE: Got some private land - need food plot ideas

Don't know why this is in bowhunting, but congrats on the land.

With a parcel that small you will either need to bring the deer to you (baiting and food plots), or maybe leave 5 acres off limits where they are bedding as a sanctuary. I would use a couple corn feeders. You could mix it up and add chicory, rape, peas, oats, or something else to the clover.

Probably one of the most important things will be to size up the land around you. See what is going on, how people hunt around you or feed around you and hunt appropriately. Go to google earth and get an aerial and topographic map of the property and look for funnels, points, and again, pay attention to the land feeding into yours.

Just a couple of things, good luck.
