[QUOTE="PillsburyDoughboy, post: 4172865, member: 14197"] You hit the nail on the head. On many of the properties I hunted back in the day that I begged permission to hunt ..the landowners would have looked at me sideways if I would have suggested bringing in a disk and planting clover or food crops. Most landowners did not want you disturbing the property in anyway or erecting permanent stands. Some land owners were even goofy about climbing stands because they marked up their trees, so we ground hunted or used climbing sticks. I've got 60'acres and have two fields . One is about 2 acres and the other is 5 acres. We played the food plot game planting different stuff and what we found with that small of a track food plots get eaten up,pretty quick. So what we found is that we were better off cutting the fields in rows and fertilizing what grows natural. Deer seem to like the cover the rows provide and the natural greens that grow seem to be good enough . Unless you have some size able food plots your really not doing the deer herd or yourself much good. I've also found that opening up the Forrest canopy provides a lot more green on the ground and cover than I could ever produce with a food plot or disk. And much cheaper too. With that said I sure wish we could supplement all of that with some bait, Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
