Here we go! :LOL2:
I was give roughly 18 "private" acres to hunt exclusively. I have been "scouting" it for Sheds and sign since February. I have not found any sheds, but there is plenty of sign. I did actually see a couple of does the other day too.
I was given permission to "post" no trespassing because I have seen tree stands and other signs of human use.
Anyway, there is no access to this area except by foot, and I want to create a tiny food plot as an experiment. I'm talking the most results I can get with the least amount of effort. I know, I know, but again this is just an experiment. Supposedly this stuff is designed for minimum effort.
I purchased one bag of Antler King No sweat Plot Mix for $15 from Amazon

My thought is to find a couple of areas about 10x30 or 20x20, rake the leaves off, rough up the top soil and then drop the mix by hand or with a hand spreader.
The area is tough walk if you have to haul in a bunch of stuff. A bag of mix and a rake is doable. Bags of lime and fertilizer while certainly possible would seriously kill me. :lol:
I use a program on my phone and computer called HuntStand. I really like it. Below is a screenshot of the scouting I have done. You can see droppings, scrapes, rubs, and trails that I have marked. I am trying to build a picture of where they sleep, feed, and walk.

So, If you are interested, follow along for my journey into this experiment. I will update it as I do things.
I would love some comments or feedback either positive or negative.
