I can't advise on what you should plant. (Clover is always good around here, but I don't know about your area) I can tell you how we've done it. Look for animal trails in your woods. If you find one, or more, try to find an area within a few yards of the trail that is naturally a bit more open than the rest of the woods. That's a good place to start. Decide how big you want your plot to be(it doesn't necessarily have to be huge, a few dozen feet per side can still draw in deer). The size will determine how you go about it from there. Start by clearing out the brush, trees and stumps from your chosen area(mine is about 100 feet by 30 feet). For us, once we had the ground clear it was still pretty wet, so we were able to do a controlled burn to get the last of the grass off(be VERY carefull if you do this! Check your local laws, your conditions and have enough people around to help control the fire) After burning we brought in a small disc on a little tractor and disked the ground in alternating directions. Once the ground was tilled we threw down a premixed deer food plot seed I picked up at Bass Pro Shop. Our deer love it, it draws them out of the woods(very important in our brushy mesquite/live oak woods) and encourages taking time to browse. It was quite a bit of work to get going, but very rewarding in the long run!
