joeaveragehunter Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Just found out the neighbor seen 13 (120"+) bucks in a field together as of two weeks ago. Also found out that in the last two years, he has put in 10 7+ acre food plots throughout his 1800 acres. Seems that my three plots totaling 1 1/2 acres may not have the drawing power that his do. The plan is to triple the size of them next spring with the dozer. Split them between eagle forage, wintergreens, and clover. This year we had just one young ten point on camera all summer. Next year we will see if we can draw some of those deer across the property line. (deer sightings were on his closest food plot about 80 acres away.) Hopefully this year some bucks will cruise through looking for does. Side note: planted half acre of eagle forage beans this spring. Although the tallest they got was two feet, they kept sprouting new shoots all summer and into october! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 sounds like things could be promising. don't turn too much of your cover into food plots. if you've got good cover then leave it. otherwise, maybe do some hinge cutting in proximity to your plots so things are setup with prevailing winds in your favor. cover is way more important in keeping deer.
