My buddy has shot several deer in food plots no bigger then a full size truck! These were fall plots that were planted about 3 weeks before the season though. Also, 3 deer were shot on my land last year out of the same stand over an atv trail with clover planted in it (i passed on another). they devoured that stuff!!!

I've never had a plot as big as 1/2 acre. Mine are more 'hunting' plots rather then for sustaining the herd.

I'd recommend going small on your first attempt anyway,takes most people a few tries before they find out what works.

well i got my ph test back and its 7.3 so thats good
i was going to get the imperial clover but went to local co op and they said it would be waste of money and that i should get white and red clover mix because grows naturallly around here and all i gotta do is throw out by hand then roll over with drum rolller
i did this today and hopefullt it will rain tomorrrow

I wish my PH was that high! I wasn't saying that a 1/2 acre food plot won't attract deer. I am simply saying that a 1/2 acre plot will not "hold" a ton of deer. But you have to play the cards you are delt. It will be better then nothing at all. Good luck!

thanks man
we got rain today
i willl try and take pics once the stuff (hopefully) comes up
