I know it is a small plot but ,it is my first year to grow a food plot. Hopefully it will pay off this October during bow season. I planted oats, wheat, rye, pea, turnip, clover, chicory, brassica, alfalfa,and sunflower seed in the plot.

Why you worrying about a food plot when baiting is legal in Arkansas?

just a little word of advice from experience, you might want to make sure the soil isnt acidic and maybe trim some tree tops to get some sunlight to it. looks like a good spot for a skidish buck to eat and still feel comfortable.

looks good, i think i am gonna clear out a spot in the woods for a plot similar in size, just turnips in it though. also might clear a small spot and let some high grass grow for deer to bed in and will probably put some trophy rocks out over the summer too

looks good, we always do foodplots but usally don't get them in early enouph and in the last couple years the only thing that has done good is our clover

i did one like that last year, i never killed a deer off of it, but i had plenty of chances. Those deer will destroy the brassicas man. And for something like that bowboy id recommend throw n grow from evolved harvest. As long as the sun can get in a little bit youll get some grow, if you take about 30 minutes to trim some limbs the whole thingll grow easily.

A small food plot is all it thakes some times,but haveing the right food in your plot @ the right time of the year is what make or brecks it. Think you got a nice placement so far & should work.

So it can grow in the woods with just a little light? yea but you have to have plenty, its hard to describe but around planting time ill try to remember to take a picture of how i have mine to show you. And fatboy the throw n grow has a few types of rye grass and brassicas so its a pretty good early-mid season plot. If the brassicas stand up good, theyll hit em hard in winter.
