I have heard over and over that if you don't have the equipment, food plots are not worth it. Being a freshman in college, I don't have the equipment for it. I do have determination though. I can clear undergrowth and till up the ground to make the plot more apt to grow.
Michigan banned baiting this year, and I assume this coming year as well. This has made me think about planting a food plot.
The soil here is very dark and rich, but not mud (Exactly what I wish was in my garden!) A few sparse trees are here and there, with a little undergrowth but I believe I will be able to clear enough to have planty of sunlight for good growth on the plot.
The red dots are stand locations, which is completely irrelevant. The yellow box is a transition area in which the deer stage in before going or coming. They bed in the peninsula. As you can tell from the photo, the yellow boxed in area is almost like a meadow, not nearly as wet nor grown up as the area 50 yards in any direction.
Questions:
[ul][*]Is it possible for a plot to grow here?[*]Is there a better plant than another for this type of terrain?[*]Any other advice?[/ul]
Thank-you very much for looking and helping!
