I read some where I guy would clear out a spot in about one acre plots, in either a boomerang or hour-glass shape for his plots and place his stands in the neck of the hour-glass or the inside point of the boomerang. He said the deer would usually like to feed at these points so they could see the entire field while they were eating, or at least go by these points to before giving an "all's clear". but if you're gun hunting I guess this wouldn't make that much of a diff. The only advice I would have is do a soils test, it's worth it. Take into account weather the spot is low lying wetter area or higher on a hill, and make seed selection off of that info. A little research on the web goes a long way. Like for instance if it's in a low area whith more moisture go with a white clover variety over a red. The biggest mistake most people make is spending so much time and money on their plot and not fertilizing it, it can make the diff. in weather your plot is something the deer may come and eat from time to time (cafeteria food) or their favorite restraunt, it might be the same food but it sure tastes a lot better.
