Cory,

I forgot to answer the above portion of your question. Sorry! I like long, skinny plots as they tend to channel the wind and make controlling/predicting where a hunter’s scent flows easier!! In addition, deer like feeding in areas that are close to cover. However, deer can be out of bow range in such designs. No matter what the shape and size of plot, a larger factor that determines the amount of use by deer during daylight is the amount of hunting pressure at or near the plot. Figuring hunting pressure into the equation is a highly overlooked part of food plot design.

Growing Deer together,
