    I've never been able to afford to put in food plots, or had the equipment.
    Well now that I've got the equipment, I have a few questions:

    1. When should a plot be put in? Am I too late?

    2. Whats the most recommended plot?

    3. I'm hunting 33 acres with surrounding corn and soy beans; how big should I make the plot?
    (of my 33 acres, there is a 7 acre field in the middle of the surrounding woods)


    Any help is appreciated. Thanks.



    P.S. I gotta stop watching these dang hunting dvd's! I've got the itch so bad!

    You are not to late at all. Clover and or beans would be a solid choice. You do not need to plant the whole seven acre opening. I would plant where the best stand sights are for different winds.

    There are some things you don't plant until August so you are def. not to late. For that amount of ground I would do 1/4 acre plots near my stand sites.
