This year we are planning a 3 acre food plot in a strategic location. By the shooting house we built several years ago. The deer have gotten used to it, so it is now time to plant a great food plot at the end of it. The food will be corn this year, as the neighbors on both sides will be planting beans.
Their beans will be great very early, but we will have corn for cover and food to be utilized in late season.
The plot will be planted right up to the timbers edge. This will allow the deer to move into the corn without exposing themselves.
Once in the corn they will discover the center of the plot has been disked down to the ground. This will provide ample gleaning of partially shelled corn within the safety of the feild center :twisted: Disking down the center will also open up a huge shooting lane as well.
The disking or knocking down of the corn can be done as often as needed to insure fresh grain creating a haven for deer and pheasants.
This is the family 4010 ready to do the job.
The 3 bottom John Deere plow really is handy for tearing up old switch grass sod.
My younger brother Ken at the wheel.
We're underway and the plow shares are scoured to a mirror finish.
The shooting house at the end of the plot. It is complete with a crapper that has a small receiving tank buried underground. We thought of everything.
The distance from the shooting house to the end of the plot is 250 yards on the nose.
How about you all sharing some pics of your "Magilla" plots and sites.
This could be fun.
