Food plot layout

Well its not perfect and its not drawn to exact scale but pretty close. This what I have planted thus far. It will take about 5 years to get everything up and growing good and established but hope its worth it someday. I also have some more Persimmon, Strawberry bush, and American Beautyberry seeded in some potting soil. Also some more seeds in the fridge as a back up.

You'll have every deer in the county. :grin:
You have put some thought into it and that will make the biggest difference.

Good luck you are on the way.

Good luck. It looks great. What about stand location?

I'm green with envy. I've always wanted to plan out my ideal spot.

If you have some thickets in the nearby area, you'll be set no matter what!

Thanks for the compliments. I have no idea what Im doing. Im just planting things that deer like. I have several different locations for deer stand but it wont come for a few more years. I believe my kids and grandkids will benefit from this more than I will. I just hope I live long enough to see it. Who knows I might get lucky someday myself.
