[QUOTE="shaneb, post: 1292440, member: 22820"] Bigfoot, i know you wouldnt want to take away from your pastures and having first hand knowledge of your property, you could take and run some hot wire across the back part of the field where your blind was set up when we was there. That would make a small but effective food plot. Another location if not too close to other homes, would be to the right of your barns in one of those small fields. Planting near that watershed will be good as long as it doesnt flood during heavy rains which I believe would. The plot would not last long. You also have some of your fields narrowing down towards the ends. Any of those will make effective food plot locations that will minimize loss of pasture during hunting season. Also look at the facts that you could keep the cows off of it a week prior to when you know the hunters will be there and open it back up after they leave. You will only lose that portion during a few weeks. Also look at it this way, stands dont have to be on the plots. You can back the stands off a hundred yards or so to allow the deer to feel more comfortable. Cows will help the hunter out if they are grazing around the stand while hunting. Planting those seeds will be good depending on the moisture, shade, and flooding like ram said. [/QUOTE]
