Default RE: Food plots per acre

Hi Double Creek

The number I think you'll here the most - is 5% Min of your area should be in food plots - which for you is about 24 acres. Less if you are bordered by good farmland crops - and more if you are bordered by more-or less "woods".

With your acreage - you should have at least one big plot - like a 5 acre plot of clover - two big plots, separtated would be better - the rest could be 1-2 acre type plots scattered about. The "big plots" are where the Bulk of your night feeding will probably take place - It would be great if they were centrally located somewhat.
