[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 4552007, member: 12277"] I have a 3 acre food plot surrounded by a small (55 acre) woodlot that I've put in Whitetail Institute "Power Plant" (with corn mixed in) in past years and the corn lasted well beyond deer season. But I have agriculture galore on and around my land plus the cover is very little for holding deer once the crops are gathered. Maybe 20% of the land around there has any cover after crop harvest. Most years the deer that use my land can easily access 1,000 acres of soybeans and many many acres of corn so feed is everywhere Spring & Summer. However this means a lot of bare ground in the Fall - especially in the corn fields that were just a month earlier good deer cover. Deer numbers are moderate for a Unit L county because of the lack of cover. It sounds like your area is a complete opposite and although deer numbers may not be real high, they would tend to concentrate on any corn you plant because of a lack of alternatives. If it were me, I'd plant what you already have easily available in corn or mix the corn with something else such as Power Plant and adjust accordingly once you see what the deer do with it. [/QUOTE]
