HOW BIG OF AN AREA DO YOU HAVE TO PLANT A FOOD PLOT? IF YOU PLANT A PLOT FOR ATTRACTING DEER AND IT'S NOT BIG ENOUGH THE DEER WILL CHEW IT DOWN AND BY THE TIME YOU WANT TO HUNT IT THE DEER WILL BE SOMEWHERE ELSE. I SUGGEST PLANTING A PLOT ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF BEFORE BOW SEASON OPENS. THIS WILL GIVE THE PLOT TIME TO GROW AND TIME FOR THE DEER TO FIND IT AND START USING IT. IF IT'S BIG ENOUGH AND THE DOES USE IT DURING THE RUT AND PRE-RUT YOU BETTER BELIEVE THE BUCKS WILL BE USING IT ALSO.
