Where should I place food plots?
Filed under: Food Plots
Question
Hey grant I have a question about locating some food plots on property I lease it is 331 acres and about 135acres is 10yr old clearcut that is very thick which I know hold a lot of deer I’m able to place several food plots throughout the property and before I do I wanna place them in the best areas where I’ll get the best results.. 3/4-1acre will be the biggest I can go. There is plenty of cover and water on this parcel.. I attached a couple maps for you to look at I would appreciate any advise you could give me feel free to mark on the maps.. Thank you for your time..
Chad,
I try to create food plots between where deer bed and larger feeding areas (where they will feed during the night). I also consider if the hunter can approach, hunt, and exit without alerting deer. I consider this as important as any other feature of the plot.
Without walking the property, knowing the prevailing winds and thermals, it’s tough to select locations for plots.
Enjoy creation,
grant
