I live on 46 acres. All woods except for the powerline( which runs north to south, so not much sunlight except for middle of the day) to my house, and a couple small woods plots I have created.
Everything around me is not hunted real hard, but there is not any agriculture farming around me. Closest corn/ soybean rotation is 1.25 miles. Everything closer is used for tobacco and pasture, either for cattle or cut for hay. Deer density is fairly low. Another issue is coyotes, which I away going to start hunting in the next couple weeks.
What would be good to plant to hold deer the most during the season, or even year round. Not many white oaks as the timber was cut on my property a couple years before I bought it. I am getting ready to clear some more woods out, on a east west direction to get more sunlight.
Main question is, how much corn would I have to plant (acres) if I was going to leave it standing. Would one acre be enough? Then I would just plant the border with clover, and annuals.
