RE: Food plot design
I don't think you can put in too many acres in your situation. You may be drawing deer from a good distance in times of food shortages. You may want to adjust what you plant to meet the times when natural food is least available in your area. Leave plenty brush and thickets for bedding areas. Longer plots may be better then wider, but you have to work with what you have. Thos doglegs are good idea. Stacking the piles to help guide deer movement is another good idea.
