It really depends on the layout of the 35 acres. Is it flat, hilly, square, etc. I would have stands setup where the deer travel and feed. If I can cover and see the activity on the 35 acres from two stands then that is enough. If I need 8 stands to rotate and cover all the travel routes then that is enough. It really depends on the layout of your property.

As far as the food plots, I don't think you can go wrong there. It depends on the size of your food plots and again the layout and cover on your property. You can use food plots to draw deer from neighboring properties. But without knowing your property layout it's tough to say.
