So we are looking to add 3 possibly 4 new plots this year. I know it's a little late to do our early plots but we are going to give it a go anyways. I have around 160 acres that I hunt. Around 100 of it is already row cropped in beans (as well as 500 acres adjoining the backside that's not our porperty). Honestly not a very big property to hunt. We are thinking of doing plot #1- Roadway 1, white/crimmson clover and chicory plot that's closer to the heart of our property that we honestly don't hunt. It is splitting open timber and bedding, this roadway is roughly 60 yards long and 10ft wide. Then the next plot- roadway #2, 70yards/10ft, that gets sun all day that is between thick cedar cover/bedding and open timber. Plot #3- Kill plot 1, smaller area, the kill plot would be around 15 yards wide/30yards long and is a corridor between bedding, a small branch and ag fields. Plot #4- Kill plot 2, circle are that's around 35 yards one side to the other. I guess my question would be what do we need to add to the clover/chicory plot, what should we plant in the roadway plot #2 that gets sunlight all day and doesn't hold a lot of water from being on a slope, and what should we plant in the kill plots and when to do it? Thought about doing corn on the longer roadway plot 2 since it gets sun all day. We will have a clover/chicory/? plot. At a loss for the smaller kill plots though. Also the circle kill plot gets sun all day as well. I know it's a lot to ask but needing some help. Thanks!
