I am currently a member of a hunting club that is located on a property used for timber and surrounded by agricultural fields (corn, soybeans). Every so often the property owner/logging company comes and clear cuts the blocks before replanting. I currently have two stands on the club and am looking for a third location. My current two stands are located in a replanted block of woods that is a couple of years old, its really thick with briers and underbrush and the pine trees are just about 16 ft tall at the moment. I want to put in a couple of food plots for those stands to help offset the amount of corn I had to use this year and provide a better option for the deer. The club has a rule that I can't cut down any of the trees at it would effect the owner's profit. My current stands have approximately 150 yard shooting lane and I was wondering if it would be possible to plant a food crop down each lane. I do plan on taking my climber in this year to bow hunt so I would set up probably 50-70 yards toward the end of my lane then my current stands only so I don't have to change anything when I switch to my rifle. What would you suggest I use for this and where should I start the food plot? I'm wondering if I should start the plot at 50 yards from my current stand so when I walk in with a climber I don't have to walk through the plot or am I better off just leaving a path and starting closer to my current stand? Any help would be appreciated
