Hey I was just hoping I could soak up some info from those of you who are experienced with food plots. On the property I hunt there really isn't any open spaces to plant a food plot because the farmer plants them. So my girlfriend's dad and I were going to try and clear an area in the woods as best we could and try and make a small food plot that way. I was just wondering how big should it be so it doesn't get destroyed within a matter of a week or two since it can't be extremely big. Also what food plots work good without a lot of sun. The area we are thinking about is probably about 1/4 to 1/2 of an acre and it gets decent sunlight. We both are new to food plots so any help would be great. If this info is needed we are located in southwest michigan. Not to sure when we should plant as well.

Thanks,
-Joe
