What I am starting to do, in addition to my 1/2 acre plot that is mostly clover now, is creating food plot trails through the more open sunny areas - this allows me to easily work the trails with my ATV and also preserves more cover. My whole hunting acreage of 20 acres becomes a food plot. I do an early plot (plant early June) and stay out of the "refuge areas" after they are planted. Then, I will put in some smaller "shot plots" toward fall.
