Chumley,
There are some great resources out there to get you started. When I have time I might answer in more detail later, but for starters, check out the articles at
www.qdma.org. Great resource! Also check out some of the books recommended here, like Ed Spinnazola's "Food Plots 1-2-3", available on the Mid-Michigan QDMA site, or national site mentioned above.
Good Luck
